it's worth mentioning that tesla is one of the few brands reporting crashes using autopilot because they have the technology to do it In other vehicles, if the person dies there is no record of proof of an ADAS system being used...

Easy to fix is relative. Mobileye owns a patent on reading road signs. Easy could involve integrating all offending road signs into maps. You don't need to test robotaxi without a driver. Having a driver in the seat is no different from driverless if the driver does not intervene. Tesla could...

Tesla does not see chains. In practice it has not been a problem yet because they are not unsupervised

chinese EV manufacturers have openly stated they are using tesla open source patents and tesla has no reason to advertise this

You mean to tell me others are paying to license tesla patents? I don't think that's the case. Tesla has way too many patents for that to happen

yes but at a cost. And besides tesla has a terrible relationship with mobileye. And patents can also be denied licensing

So others use tesla patents and tesla freely uses patents from other automakers A "fair" trade Imagine if no EVs had battery preconditioning. Imagine if Rivian touchscreen went away because tesla owns a patent on most functions

That's the point. Tesla needs patents to build a car. Everyone else needs tesla patents to build an electric car Tesla opens up the patents so they can freely use patents too Just so happens that tesla needs mobileye patents and they don't build an electric car For people who think rivian is...

Look at the cameras in a tesla which are critical for self driving. The forward facing ones are self cleaning. The bumper camera is not critical for most self driving tasks beyond reversing. The side repeater cameras are "self cleaning" in the sense that they do not get dirty. The way they are...

FSD does the "hard stuff" very well. Driving in heavy rain, snow covered roads where you can't see any markings, fog, narrow mountain roads with just dirt, trails, etc. In those limited scenarios it seems to see better than I can. partially because FSD uses satellite images to assist in...

Tesla open sourced their patents for a reason. So they can freely use other patents they probably need. It just so happens that mobileye does not make an electric vehicle. if I'm not mistaken 360 view is owned by nissan? And the leaf is such a poor electric vehicle it may not be using any tesla...

Hobby photographer is not the same thing as self driving. The cameras used for automotive are not built to produce beautiful images. They are built to capture the most dynamic range. The automotive sensors are HDR with 2 sizes of photosites, backside illumination AND dual gain. The 3 most...

There is a patent owned by mobileye on reading road signs. So tesla just drove without reading most road signs Tesla's goal is to have the car drive in every scenario possible. The car gets better without the easy issues being fixed

It would be interesting if Rivian can even do much in the way of autonomy. Most cars do not have a steering column control module that is capable of autonomy because it is a safety risk. Having a car perform a signicant and fast steering wheel move at high speed can cause a car to flip over...

If you were not ignorant about FSD you would know that FSD has exponentially improved with each version. The reason that the miles per disengagement are the same is because tesla does not fix easy issues. Tesla does not read school zone signs, so you can go through a school zone every single day...

Your logic is that cameras have the same limitations as human vision. They don't. Cameras see better in the dark then our eyes do and they have higher dynamic range. Cameras can see into the sun without having glare, ghosting or afterimages

I suspect the current hands-free refers to the eye tracking abilities

As if you believe mapping is a guardrail. If it were a guardrail then you'd have it enabled everywhere but hands on most adas systems with mapping still allow the function to be used elsewhere but not hands free

Of course it is. Don't be stupid. You have to ask yourself why is Gen 2 limited to mapped roads? Hands free or not. it's because rivian is using maps in a way that is probably not safe. In that OOS reviews test of hands free, the car changed drifted across 1 lane in the most clearly marked...

Remote operator is normal for robotaxi. It is standard practice. We know that FSD can drive on its own and not crash so remote operator is just to take over in scenarios that other robotaxi would do the same thing. Looking through a video feed with latency that is not 360 stitched is...
