im guessing the drive from "NYC to LA with no human input" by December 2017 was supposed to take place in ideal weather conditions, (with no short green poles or curbs along the way to collide into)

I agree with you.....try getting a real taxi in the snowAll that said... having some weather restrictions does not prevent robotaxis-- L4 (ie do not EVER require a human driver) vehicles can restrict ODD by weather and still be L4.
SimpleAbsolutely, Tesla has massively influenced the strategies of almost every car maker in the world at this point. There is zero dispute of that.
But has that fundamentally "changed" the world? "Changed" implies global change has already occurred. Not GOING to occur (which it eventually will), but how specifically has Tesla CHANGED the world already in an impactful way? When I think of "world", Im considering the entire globe...mankind...
The % of electric cars overall globally, of every brand, sold was less than 10% total. Over 91% are still ICE...
In the USA? The numbers are worse..~99% are ICE..
It does not now but it did in the beginning. If you shift your butt the wrong way now, it all shuts down and we have that initial clown to thank.If the passenger seat heater won’t go on if there is no passenger...it seems a little strange that the car keeps driving when there is no driver in the driver’s seat
I read an article about someone bypassing it by using a fairly heavy weight (like a bowling ball), and fasten the seat belt, then a weight on the steering wheel, and then sat in passenger seat to have the car drive itself.It does not now but it did in the beginning.

Looks like he’s going to have to paint a face on the bowling ballI read an article about someone bypassing it by using a fairly heavy weight (like a bowling ball), and fasten the seat belt, then a weight on the steering wheel, and then sat in passenger seat to have the car drive itself.
FSD Beta requires the cabin camera (if equipped) so that may be more difficult to bypass, but the basic AP and TACC would work with that setup. However, if one were to go through all those steps to bypass safety systems, that person deserves what's coming to them IMO.
What finished RT version? What is an RT version (I don't what you mean by RT)?You seem to be comparing the current wide release software with a finished RT version.
Humans have 5 amazing senses that are all used, although at different degrees depending on the situation. Certainly, in fortunate humans, vision, hearing and tactile senses are being constantly employed simultaneously when driving.This is a weird take given vision-only humans also drive with only visual systems
Humans have more than five sensesHumans have 5 amazing senses that are all used, although at different degrees depending on the situation. Certainly, in fortunate humans, vision, hearing and tactile senses are being constantly employed simultaneously when driving.
This is always the take thrown around but anyone remotely into photography/video would tell you-This is a weird take given vision-only humans also drive with only visual systems, even in bad weather. And with 4x fewer eyes too.
What finished RT version?
"The catastrophe of FSD" is down to the public wide release software not being much good.
If the standard AP, one: can't be used where there's cross traffic (really?
the AEB can't work when it's needed
I also read somewhere that AP is supposed to learn live all the time, between software updates.
Plus if your wife is in the passenger seat, you have 2 extra "cameras" and 1 extra "processing unit" for emergency event detection :-DHumans have more than five senses
There's a lot of contradictions in Tesla's handling of features, whats in the manual, whats in the website, and what is / isn't labelled as "beta".That's the point.
The current public wide release is not intended to do the things someone is complaining it does not do.
They have imagined what a final finished robotaxi software setup looks like, and they're mad the thing that's explicitly not that is in fact not that.
And somehow conclude they can't ever offer that because they don't now.
It's far better than any other car you can buy.
Yes really- says so right in the owners manual. I posted screen shots.
The disconnect between that Tesla explicitly tells you the current system can do, and what people imagine in their heads it can, seems a major source of the problem here.
Except, again, multiple government agencies testing the AEB system says it not only works- it does so in a way superior to most other vehicles.
So there seems to be another disconnect between reality and peoples imaginations.
It's entirely possible you "read" that somewhere- but it's not actually factually true so whomever you read it from was mistaken.
Again- the issue isn't the actual system, it's misinformation being spread about it.
Yes, on a recent drive I noticedOr even when the driver may think "something smells funny" alerting them that there may be a problem. Don't underestimate how all the senses contribute to the driving process. Vision only would be an unfortunate handicap.

Consider this - if AP is not supposed to work or be used in areas with cross traffic.. then why do they highlight it's ability to identify & respond to stop lights and traffic signals? These exist exclusively in areas with .. cross traffic.. no?
AFAIK everything under the AP and FSD banners are beta.
No. There's controlled access highways with stoplights too (most often though not exclusively at the controlled access points to regulate flow)
Apart from that, it's specifically autosteer that's not intended for use with cross traffic (which is what most people actually mean when they say autopilot.... using Autosteer and TACC at the same time).
Autosteer is not required to respond to stoplights- TACC alone (which is not as restricted in where it's meant to be used) does the stoplight thing.
"Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is designed to recognize and respond to traffic lights and stop signs, slowing Model 3 to a stop when using Traffic-Aware cruise control or Autosteer."
