(Google Translation) To his own great surprise, Norang was to receive support from Tesla Norway's own witness. In the district court, Tesla's witness, technical manager Emil Svenrup in Tesla Norway, acknowledged and confirmed the weaknesses and shortcomings of the Tesla vision. In...

"Legal Pit" (sic)

State Patrol: Tesla ruled out in hit-and-run that killed Mille Lacs-area doctor https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/state-patrol-tesla-ruled-out-in-hit-and-run-that-killed-mille-lacs-area-doctor/89-4dbb2eb1-6741-4e3c-9012-c482804f76ac As of March 13th, they are back to having no suspect...

Solution: Solution: Ok, the ADA wheelchair one is a joke, but no reason they couldn't design & tow a trailer - maybe with ~12 seats. Properly able to take the 35mph, slopes, and with mandatory locking seatbelts like a "ride". I mean, there's no smog, it's not raining in there, and no wind...

Assuming they could restart/reboot the truck I might expect the exact same failure to occur, it's probably still occurring and a reboot won't make any difference. Critical failure implies stop immediately or suffer the consequences - but it doesn't seem to totally require an instant stop...

Or change to the "alternate" camera behind the tailgate - on one of the side brake stacks - so that there is no interrupted rear view camera. Of course there isn't such a camera, but there could have been.

With some CT owners now having apparent software issues with their steer-by-wire I wonder why you'd take "software bug" out of "lack of redundancy"? Shouldn't redundancy take software bugs into account? ie: what's the critical path to saving the truck if there is a software bug, surely...

The hubcap digging in to the tire was noticed way back in September 2023 by a tester. So why did Tesla fail to recognize the issue? https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/ct-hubcap-fitment.9273/ Look at the M in "MADE". The lower left corner of the M is cut off. I think the hubcap...

So was it the yank on the car door that finally unsettled the car enough to slide? If you frame-by-frame the video and look at one spot, say the black line formed by the panel gap at lower left. In every frame the black line is noticeably another pixel down the driveway. Sure, a little bit...

I get the safety-nanny reasons that a vehicle needs to be in park to open the doors from the outside, I guess. Especially for a push button door which in theory a tree branch could press, unless the button press is somehow validated as a finger. IDK. I suppose they just didn't practice...

They do show three people in the advertisement for the Basecamp, two parents and their kid. Can they fit in the tent? It does seem that the Basecamp is installed to the level of the bed tracks - just below the level of the tailgate, which means if the tailgate is closed it will interfere with...

Elon did show the capabilities of the Cybertruck: Faster in a 1/4 mile 1/8 mile drag race against some kind of 911 while towing a 911 Stops various subsonic bullets against the door panels (unknown if other panels are also similarly thick) Side windows stop a bouncy baseball limp-wristedly...

If I remove the bed cover, can I use that internal space for something else, like storage? If I could get to it. It could be about 12" diameter x 4ft, plus all the track space at the front of the bed. Could we cut out a midgate too? Only half kidding..

Maybe it pops to to give you a little something to hold onto, as well.

1) Cruise lied and misrepresented the actions of their car; after the collision it dragged the pedestrian. So any ban is entirely their fault due to this step alone However, going forward. 2) We haven't seen the video of the accident, but it is possible that the car wasn't able to tell that...

Cruise attempts to blame an individual car called Panini. I know that really they are giving out details, but it almost seems like they are trying to make it sound that the fleet software isn't the problem, just that car. Bad Panini! The incident occurred on October 2, 2023 at 9:29 PM PDT in...

That's true comedy to me. Having to buy back your functionality from a third party. Not because you want better tires or brakes, but because your car didn't come with a turn signal stalk. And didn't come with physical control buttons. It's almost like they are slowly going towards: "We sold...

I think it comes down to people who live in places with wide streets that don't make three different turn directions in a few seconds. Left, Right, Left, slow, flash oncoming lane to go, speed up, etc. Drive in England for a while and you'll see. It's constant turns, priority directions on...

Harsh, it does say Style = Ceramic brakes 20k, Style = Track package 20k. You can't order the car with the ceramic brakes already installed I guess. Nor can you get aftermarket ceramic brakes certified for the 200mph firmware upgrade. Has anyone managed to run 200mph on aftermarket ceramic...

If you don't stop at the stop line, but roll to the edge of the road, it becomes a habit. Then when it matters, you become a risk. Look at this intersection: Google Maps Cars from the far left - coming down the very steep hill to the T-intersection are supposed to stop at the white line on...

You are free to make up your own rules and laws and drive accordingly at your and others' risk. They don't happen to match the official rules and laws however. An AV will have to meet the official rules and laws.

I am perfectly capable of fully stopping at a stop sign, wherever it is located and then proceeding to the point where I may need to look for traffic - without getting anybody annoyed. This is accomplished by doing it all quickly. That is where Tesla needs to improve, if this process is...

A human with an International Driving Permit can drive just about anywhere in the world. In theory. Get to another country, get a vehicle and go. Because you "know how to drive". But you should also learn the local rules (laws, customs), which vary everywhere. Is this applicable to ML/AI...

I see it as easy pickings. There's no wiggle room over stopping at stop signs in law so that was a slam dunk for the NHTSA. Plus they picked on several other of what they perceived to be FSD's flaws. Why didn't they care about risky behavior at roundabouts or passing school buses or whatever...

How would you ever safety validate an AI system that is basically "we don't know how but it works like magic". Let's say 99 times of 100 it stopped for a red light but on one occasion it didn't and crashed into cars. What made it do that? What if the answer is "nobody knows, we just need to...

Good god, can you imagine what Elon is thinking about when he's in a car? Me neither, but I'm sure it doesn't translate to good safe driving. For that matter probably very few of us have control over our thoughts enough to control the car's actions. Obviously we have some kind of brain to...

Was there any proof that he was actually using V12? I think Chuck Cook asked to see the version screen, did Elon show the version, and could we tell that it was really V12 running there? Not V11 with new visual differences, or perhaps there were no differences. Could it have been nothing new...

Any relation to the failed US attempt at invading Canada as portrayed in the historical film Canadian Bacon?

Reminds me of some commercial from a while back, there is a pile of coffee beans and a hand holds a stick and diverts some off to the side. We only use the finest coffee beans is the tag. Well Tesla just chooses the finest photons. It's a chore keeping up with the latest advances that Tesla...

Elon kept saying there are no lines of code for almost all the basic driving rules. Ashok never really agreed or disagreed (other than vague responses), I wonder how much of what Elon said was correct? It's got to the point that I don't believe anything from anyone at Tesla unless they are...

The only fair thing to do is test each car brand/model/year that has DMS and see how well they do in a set of standardized tests across different scenarios. Daytime, nighttime, sunglasses, handsfree, geolocations, eye colours, holding phones, candy bars, etc. No avoidance tricks. Just how...

Just curious if you have verified your tire pressures with a calibrated gauge vs the car TPMS? Could be your car isn't reporting the same pressure as the Tesla service center. Maybe check against them while cold and hot too.

Yes, Tesla has the right to establish what they want to unlock the 200mph. I'm sure the configuration is checked. My question is whether "once officially unlocked" it does check if you changed the rotors, pads, and tires (say in the winter) to cheaper or aftermarket options? Assuming you...

There was a theory going around that the car can detect that you have track package components as part of allowing 200mph. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/track-package.301223/page-2#post-7610572 I'm going to assume that's not true, but does anyone know? I presume once you have 200mph...

I did find this document from Audi on CCB and "normal" cracks. Hope it helps a bit, but you probably need a second opinion or two. https://fdocuments.in/document/ceramic-brakes-in-audi-vehicles.html

Oh. Well those do look like cracks on the rotors. I have no experience with that to say what is acceptable but since they were labeled as cracked by Tesla, somebody seems to question them. Odd if they didn't actually discuss it with you. Hope you get some answers soon.

@Lucabratsi Are you really driving a car with CCB rotors that may have Major Large Cracks, without being sure? Have you at least removed the wheels and inspected the rotors yourself visually? What about your old ones, maybe they noticed cracks on them and labeled them as cracked on the other...

Maybe there should be an external indicator light when the car first detects the driver is not currently monitoring. So for Tesla that would be when it's flashing blue to tell you to touch the steering wheel or it has warned that the interior camera has detected a violation. After all, the car...

Yes, once the system has disengaged, you are liable for the accident. Which is why it's so wonderful that it will stop you in the middle of the highway and say "over to you". But I also agree that there isn't much else it can do at this stage, crossing lanes just puts the car at more risk than...

So I'm going to fast-forward to the end. If you have Drive Pilot engaged, that means that the car has agreed it was ok with its ODD that it could do that. From that moment until Drive Pilot disengages, no matter what you do Mercedes will accept liability. Up to and including you falling...

This may be old information but: Sadly, due to California laws, drivers aren't permitted to look at their phones even with a Level 3 system active, which means no TikTok scrolling while stuck in traffic -- unless Mercedes creates an in-car TikTok app, at least. The car has a driver-facing...

It's entirely possible this is a clickbait post by someone who is not the person in the car/lawsuit. I still find the discussion interesting as the case does actually exist and appears to be accurate to the information so far discovered. Insofar as that all seems to be true it doesn't bother...

I'd love to know how a typical CHP officer can tell the difference between an L3 system and everybody else. You'll easily get a ticket if they see you do this: While Drive Pilot is active, the driver can take their mind off the traffic and focus on certain secondary activities such as reading...

The point of the system is to prevent use of the brake at the same time as the accelerator. It's not about a stuck accelerator, although that is one possibility. Tesla does not mention "stuck accelerator", they talk about both pedal use: Likewise, applying the brake pedal simultaneously with...

The judge may have been using a "reasonableness" argument. After all, if I name my L2 system Handz-free SnoozeCruise, I should expect criticism for including the disclaimer "You must be fully alert with hands on the wheel at all times". Wording does matter, even if it's a cute trademark...

"Once stopped, the car will even activate the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system and unlock the doors for first responders" Don't worry. With any luck the ambulance will get there just as you're smashed into. Probably by an L2 car. F1 cars get smashed into all the time when they are...

Are you listening to yourself? The ORDER of the pedals being pressed? The driver has to release and reapply the brake? The whole point of this system was to prevent accidents that occur because the driver has failed to realize that they have both pedals pressed. Now you want them to realize...

LOL. That statement is not as safety conscious as perhaps you intended. If your numbers, which are likely picked at random, are taken into consideration. What is being said here is "if you press both pedals at once, the car will still give you more power than most cars have in total.". We're...

It doesn't explain why the fellow in post #64 is able to accelerate from 60 to 110 km/hr while that warning message is being displayed and his foot is on the brake to some degree. Shouldn't reduced motor power prevent that kind of acceleration? Yes, he could press the brake harder but the...
