Tesla Radar Speculation

[enemji]

Radar is good for evading or preventing collisions, and not guiding the vehicle.

Why is it that most if not all if thr people who are complaining of PB are calling it “Phantom Breaking”?

I'll be generous and say auto-correct.

I was thinking about HW4, radar etc. From the impact report they say:
View attachment 931655

Could it be that the S/X that has HW4 with radar mostly has the radar there to gather radar data for training the neural network? To gather some better sensor data of speeds of vehicles far away for autolabeler?

That's an X, right?

I think it's established news that the HW4 model X vehicles have the radar installed whether and how it's used in the current software is another matter), but supposedly not model Y. Why this is has already been a topic of speculation, and people are waiting to see what the model 3 Highland brings.

I don't follow this stuff on Twitter, but I'm a little confused as to why he is talking about "radar deniers".

EDIT: here's a recent article that confirms what I said above:

Depends on the radar. There is a vast difference in modern mmW and the old conti radar in hw3.

I guess HW5 will get back the USS and HW6 the rain sensor. Moving in the right direction!

Yes, I see where this is going:
Hw7 will add curb feeler wires
HW8 will introduce a cowcatcher on the front bumper
HW9 will add a foghorn

Dont forget WINGS, we all want wings to come back!

Musk can make it happen with cameras alone. No other tech required.

There was a Greek fellow named Icarus who suddenly wanted his wings to come back... he was a visionary who believed too strongly in his prototype

They will add them to some cars, not turn them on or discuss them publicly.

Always fun.
