To be fair, he did provide the minute and second of the reference. Easy to miss right above the video in the first post.

Although brand awareness would perhaps bring another, subtle layer to the comedy, I'm not certain it is critical to the humor. Seems to me that most people would infer "something valued and/or expensive" in the pool and therefore understand the most obvious thing. These kinds of patterns are...

I think you may be right about be gated by speed. But I can physically see and stop someone from touching the screen. I can’t stop someone in the back seat from speaking. And I can’t help the system discern my voice from an 8 year old girl.

Agreed; this would make sense as an incremental change.

Is it possible they won't do this until they develop the ability to identify users by voice print? I can imagine they wouldn't want a playful child to fold the mirrors while the driver was changing lanes at 75 in on a major metro freeway (for example).

I'm not entirely sure how Rivian's contract with AT&T works. But multiple times I've been in places where I did not have service on my iPhone (ATT), but the R1T worked well if not great. Perhaps to a create a full network ATT leases bandwidth where they don't have their own network? Anyone...

In many respects this evaluation is correct. But I dictated the same message to Siri and RA yesterday and was shocked how much better RA was. Siri was crap by comparison. Now if they keep addressing other issues and enhancements, we'll have a winner.

A very cherry picked route might account for it.

I couldn't easily find a map of the routes. If Wisconsin snow stopped his non-intervention streak, a planner would have to be very selective with dates to go coast to coast through the top third of the country successfully. Or very often. And I suppose 55% and "regularly" is something. I assume...

A significant achievement. I'll be accused of moving the goalposts; but I didn't set them. Repeat this during winter. And note that the same owner was seeing how long he could go without intervention. Weather stopped him in Wisconsin. Does this imply that there will always be situations...

Does this approach have a solution for the heavy rain, fog and snow incurred in large swaths of the country for several months a year? Yeah, I know, the driver is expected to take control under these "limited visibility" conditions. And that is perfectly fine for me. But if this version of...

At least for us, the phone connection being discussed is independent of the driver selected. The truck clearly shows me as driver, but if my wife is present, it will connect to her phone more often than not. When this happens, I can't simply select "me" from the Bluetooth symbol on the top...

Although this comment contains a grain of truth, I'll just throw it in the "false equivalency" file for what I hope are obvious reasons.

Small clarification; digital controls do not *have* to have perceptible latency.

Yep, people assume all boxes are created equal. If it looks like a box it MUST be incredibly bad.
