you heard wrong almost all systems have this issue except comma.ai and tesla, which ironically, people falsely believe that tesla is somehow prone to hitting stationary vehicles This is because like tesla, comma.ai uses vision to sense the vehicles and not radar, which people somehow believe...

Model X needs to be retired and replaced with a real SUV Tesla lineup is missing a cheap car (less than $30K), a full size SUV, and arguably a decent looking truck

if that were the case then rivian could at least do hands free driving during the day. i suspect that working in a service menu is not the same thing as working while the autopilot visualizations are running, satellite map navigation is being displayed, 3 screens are being powered all at the...

the point is it's not a part that vertically integrated companies use

those are expensive solutions. Rivian took the cheap solution like tesla and put in a general purpose cabin camera. The rumor is that the eye tracking compute was going to run off the infotainment CPU

cameras do not have built in tracking capability. That's not how this works. The camera IS suitable for driver monitoring. Rivian screwed up in that they have no way to compute eye tracking in an efficient way.

technically rivian did advertise functions that are not able to be delivered. Tesla, with the exception of a small time in 2018 has never sold full self driving (what you can purchase) as a feature that would drive itself. What FSD does now is more than most people ever paid for However we...

Brings up an important point. The reason tesla cameras are undistorted (in sentry and/or live view) but rivian's are not is probably because the functionality of undistorting the cameras is built into tesla's full self driving computer.

rivian has more resolution but resolution is not everything. They are stating the resolution of all the cameras combined. Rivian certainly has more cameras than tesla. Higher resolution of cameras is a bad thing if it means smaller photosites and a higher amount of diffraction which hurts...

Because consumers can't have access to a level 4 software and freely test anywhere. there's a lot of regulation around level 4 If elon lobbies to change the laws then they will call it level 4 since it is good advertising Tesla is abusing a loophole where they can claim their system is level...

yes that's correct. We want to see how tesla solves sign reading. I wonder if the 3x model scaling will enable the rest of the sign recognition that tesla has had problems with

FSD is technically level 4. The SAE J0316 document makes it very clear that a system with level 4 design intentions is considered level 4, regardless of commercial release or whether there is a safety driver required to supervise and intervene as necessary. Levels are self assigned and hold...

There are some misconceptions about radar and lidar (rivian does not even have lidar). Tesla used to have ultrasonic and radar (just like rivian) but these were cheap radar and the ultrasonics are not necessary for self driving. Cheap radar is low resolution and has limits on detecting objects...

I'd bet tesla cameras are better than rivian. Tesla cameras are a high quality sony imx490 with good dynamic range. Not sure why rivian chose to make their own camera. Tesla camera design also has a placement and airflow design which is designed to not get dirty. Model S/X have imaging radar...

functionally if you added a bumper camera to a tesla model S, then the hardware suite inside a tesla is not too different from a Gen 2 rivian. Rivian has a lot of corner radar and ultrasonics (which you do not need for driving), but the main forward facing imaging radar, cameras, etc. would be...

If i'm not mistaken, rivian has 2 autonomy systems in their car. Mobileye which was a stopgap and then their own self driving computer as well. Rivian not showing vehicles behind you is because they are not incentivized enough to develop their own driving system on the compute that is in the...

They use unreal engine instead of developing their own rendering engine but I don't think developing a rendering engine is all that difficult. Because it only is rendering specific functions you don't need an advanced featureset. You need your own render engine if you want the best optimization...

and that's more elegant that taking over your entire screen with an aftermarket device? And no, you do not need a bookmark or a favorite. The browser default launches to the previous page you had it on and the browser is also saved to the bar at the bottom as it is a recently launched app."...

comma.ai is vision only. They switched because despite what people believe, vision only is better than the cheap radar you have in your car

they use a combination of radar and cameras and are tuned for last minute braking. They don't work very well. Collision avoidance systems (i.e auto emergency braking) will not prevent an accident but slow you down to reduce injury only will they prevent a collision completely at a low speed...
