Tesla vs Others' "Autopilot"

[Hugh Mannity]

have driven several rental cars with their autopilot systems; I found I really missed the car graphic that Tesla has; for some reason you feel a lot more trusting when you can see what the car sees vs the assumption the system is working on the other vehicles due to their non existant or mickey mouse looking graphical representations.

...the other vehicles due to their non existent or mickey mouse looking graphical representations.

Interesting. Wouldn't it be cool if the car represented the parking guys at Disney parks as Mickey Mouse?

i want to hear more about this. i visited the wiki page and its quite fascinating

Go to tinkla.us and join comma.ai:s discord. Install is not difficult. Basic openpilot is quite good, and if you add radar it gets even better. Now you can buy a premade epas-cable too, then you don't need a giraffe and you don't need to makw your own cable.

Whilst there are no production cars with the latest Mobileye I was very impressed with their latest demo driving around a busy city centre hands free. I know Tesla capture data from our cars but they have six manufacturers collecting six million miles of data PER HOUR. If the demo video is to be believed then Tesla has a long way to go before FSD is safe to use.

Recording a demo is always easy. I'd bet that route choice isn't random.

I am not foolish enough to believe it wasn't a preset route but the ability to think on the fly was definitely not planned. Navigating around an open door, giving way to a car manoeuvring and pushing out into traffic from an unsighted position certainly looked impressive.

has the option for you to train it on your preferred position in the lane

I really wish Tesla would add this feature. I often find auto steering is dragging me along the gutter and I would love to be able to bias the car slightly towards the center of the road.
