These are not directly comparable and your logic is really terrible. A L3 vehicle is almost certainly an extremely unsafe vehicle. You should never get into a vehicle with level 3 technology. l3 vehicles are extremely restricted (lead car, weather, time of day, perfect lanes, mapping, etc.)...

You can see reviews from former employees on blind. Rivian has outsourced a lot of work because it is cheaper https://stories.rivian.com/rivian-tech-hub-belgrade-serbia Paying U.S. wages to do this kind of work is very expensive Tesla does everything related to ADAS and software in the U.S...

Pretty sure rivian software is split between silicon valley and serbia Rivian outsources most of their ADAS and software tasks to serbia these days

If you compare Rivian to tesla. Tesla made claims in public that the cars would do ridiculous things. What they claimed on the website sounded pretty ridiculous (not as crazy as what was said in public) that the car would drive in almost all circumstances with no input from the person in the...

It's level 2, and then advancing to level 4. Rivian advertising L3 is weird only if they want to beat tesla to something and claim 3 is better than 2

This is what you are not understanding. The car does not perform the entire DDT even when it is driving Mechanical failures are 100% outside of the scope of the car's DDT. Minimum risk maneuvers too. Those are only for level 4 you are performing this task of identifying and responding to...

No. That's only level 4. The DDT encompasses everything needed to drive. Under level 3 mechanical failures are not part of the car's DDT. Mechanical failures include mirror falling off, suspension component failing, flat tire, etc. under level 3 there is no need to inspect your car for...

Dynamic driving task is every task needed to drive a car within the set parameters. A common misconception is under level 3, the car is not 100% driving. The car is doing the function it is supposed to do but it is not responding to mechanical failures or failures outside of the basic task it...

Mercedes assumes liability for a system fault. That is correct. The driver is required to take over (with zero warning) for a fault caused by a mechanical failure. Which is why reading a book or watching a movie is technically not within the scope of level 3. The scope of L3 does not cover the...

Waymo had early access for freeways and they didn't go on every ride. The safety is either not there or there are extra precautions in order to have a freeway ride. Car doesn't just automatically go on even if you are early access I think the purpose of level 3 is that 3 is better than 2. Even...

it took waymo years to test on the freeway and they still avoid freeways They are only in the testing phase on freeways. They don't go on freeways for every ride There's zero value in that. Level 3 is not an unsupervised system. You have to pay attention for failures outside the DDT (like a...

ODD is the operating domain of the car. It is the set of restrictions the car has where it is intended to be used. In the case of a car with level 3, the car just hands back control to the user when these restrictions are no longer valid. For example, with Mercedes's gimmicky level 3 system...

maybe if you stopped using AI you wouldn't embarrass yourself. They are down in a lot of markets because of flash flood warnings. As I said. They don't run when there is remotely a chance of anything. They are not running in houston and haven't run in san antonio for months. Austin, miami...

Maybe if you didn't rely on AI you wouldn't get such bogus answers. Waymo runs their cameras at 10hz. It's described in the patent and all of the video they share from the cars (showcasing accident avoidance) is at low framerate. The waymo open dataset they share is also at 10hz. There is no...

Your numbers are definitely wrong there. Waymo is shut down at least in san antonio (not sure where else) and has been for weeks. They almost killed somebody due to driving in flooded waters. They now shut down in most metros with light rain because of it. Tesla also gives more than 500 rides...
