Tesla Software updates - Australia
- Thread starter Grenadine
- Start date
Just read about a new racing series first race in April to rival F1 speeds. It is a driverless series. The teams are competing to create the best hardware (they can use lidar, radar, camera) as well as the best AI. the car will need to learn how to manage it‘s race strategy. the cars are not remote controlled. Unsure if they are ev or dinosaur powered, but the series appears to be more about creating ultra fast learning level 5 autonomy. Racing tends to be the technology that filters down to cars.
I think the update is from a USA directed recall of all AP equiped cars. The article mentions the concept of suspension of use. There are lots of sites reporting this same issue.Just an unimportant update. But it seems to result in people posting in Facebook a screenshot of their 44.30 update uploading
Tesla recalls nearly all vehicles sold in US to fix system that monitors drivers using Autopilot
Tesla is recalling nearly all vehicles sold in the U.S., more than 2 million, to update software and fix a defective system when using Autopilot.

I don't care how unlikely it is that I'll run into this problem.
Tesla for the first time deployed software into my car that disables a feature I paid for based on their imperfect compliance monitoring.
Let that sink in.

Not quite following the logic here?
To get a single strike from what I've seen (videos of people deliberately trying to get them, don't plan on trying myself) you have to be making a very deliberate and conscious effort to ignore their compliance monitoring. To get 5 (or even 3 if it is 3) you really have to be determined to operate the vehicle in an unsafe manner.
Sure I'd love the nags to go, but that is something the regulators have to OK and I suspect the fact that people are so blatantly going to efforts to bypass the compliance monitoring is a big factor preventing this. I'm all for banning these clowns for that reason.
My MS has no inside camera, so the only way for the car to detect whether hands are on the steering wheel is by force sensing. It's easy to run into a warning that way on a smooth motorway with the hand resting on the bottom of the wheel on a long drive. I've had to learn the habit to intentionally lightly jerk the wheel once a minute or so to tell the car I'm still here and paying attention.
Automation that trains the operator rather than the automation is problematic for a whole basket full of reasons.

Definitely an element of US regulators struggling with the new tech. Reality is people do stupid things unfortunately and it can result in carnage.
With its lane keeping, dynamic cruise etc, a Tesla on AP is far safer and I'd prefer as another road user for a tired or drunk driver to be in a Tesla, but the NHTSA seems to be looking at single events and applying a higher standard rather than looking at the situation wholistically.
I don't for example see the NHTSA proposing local authorities install red light bollards at intersections that raise with the signals to prevent red light runners.

That’s cool. Hasn’t helped my neighbor’s wife though, who has backed their Atto into the side of the garage door opening not once but twice
Tesla are not the only brand with autosteer and adaptive cruise control. I wonder what all the other brands have done that appeases the regulators?
Not be such a disruptive force challenging legacy auto and the fossil fuel industry?
less interest in wasting advertising dollars just to keep the media mafia onside, or wasting money on compaign contributions and lobbying to hold the world back to suit their own interests?

lol, unless you've been living under a rock, it's very clear that they continue to desperately campaign against Tesla and continue to be challenged by the ever growing gap in technology between Tesla and the rest...

I rest my right elbow on the door window sill, then my right hand on the steering wheel gives enough weight to the torque sensor to keep AP happy without intervention.
speaks for itself, there's plenty of othes with multiple brands (including those too gutless to have their vehicles included in the test
) showing a clear gap in capability... Keep trying to convince yourself though

Sounds like RoboRace, Launched in 2015 but went bust. Their first test runs were….. problematic.
Looks like the series you’re talking about is:

It's hard to beat an EV drivetrain, for sure. The Polestar 2 was pretty fast and agile. It didn't have the internal space of the Model Y (especially rear seat head room), and the ride was firmer, but it was pretty competitive otherwise.The problem is, none of them are nearly as enjoyable to own and drive IMO.
