FSD is the only feature that checks up on you to see if attentive, and that is only for those Teslas with in-cabin camera.
On my Model S, it chimes only when it sees traffic light turn green. I'll have to check again later on today.
Thank you. I know. Mine was merely a figure of spech conveying that Tesla seems to know what it is doing and Rivian, well, it seems to come out short on implementing like features.
As it seems to be mostly the case, Rivian experts should check how things are done right by checking out Tesla or talking to Tesla experts, and learning from them.
It works at traffic lights changing to green only. In my years of driving Teslas, have never heard it chime from "several cars back," and it does seem to chime only if vehicle sees light changing to green..
At any rate, anybody relying primarily on a chime to make driving decisions has real...
Somebody else on here had the audacity to suggest that the Tesla CEO "should be worried" about Rivian ADAS; ergo, this thread started. I merely pointed out that such a statement is blatantly absurd as it indeed compares Rivian against Tesla.
Tesla FSD is not what it was promised to be...
I am not comparing apples to apples, all right. Indeed, Rivian ADAS and Tesla FSD is not apples-to-apples. Not even close.
DO you own a Tesla, have you ever owned one with FSD?
FSD only works in some situations? Really?
I think you meant to say Rivian ADAS only works in some situations.
Tesla...
Ah, I see that you are making conclusions about FSD according to a given person, not on the merits. I don't care for [person]; ergo, FSD is a pos. That's not the way it works.
Say what you will, quote whom you will, the data says it all: with Tesla FSD:
Average crashes on non-highway...
Like everything else statistical data, FSD safety is measured as a number of events, disengagements, interventions, etc. per a given data sampling. In this case FSD is compared to the same data size, e.g. perhaps 100k miles driven against the same results with human driving.
A terrible, bad...
"Keep your hands on the wheel, be ready to take over at any time," FSD warns each time it is engaged. Still, events as what you point out may happen. Overall, FSD still is safer than human driving per miles driven, though.
Reason why I myself use FSD sparingly, do not fully trust it. But in...
Hmm. Have driven both my Teslas on FSD at night. Perfectly fine and amazing. Problems with rain and snow, I suppose. But again, first person who ever had no problem at all driving in, say heavy rain or snow and still being able to see clearly, raise your hand...crickets.
Now, yours is a very objective and impartial evaluation of FSD. Many out there have taken the zero-sum game, the binary option about FSD. It either is level 5 as promised or it is a piece of worthless crap. Complete nonsense.
I frankly do not believe that even FSD will be level 5 in my...
But that is your personal opinion and feelings, perhaps, or maybe you can elaborate on factual FSD evidence that caused you to feel that way.
For me is not a matter of trusting or not. I simply have learned by now potential FSD shortcomings should I need to intervene or not.
Musk has real things to concern himself with.
FSD on my Tesla will pull out of my driveway, go down the road, stop at entrance gate waiting for it to open, goes right on through when it does, and takes me to my destination using any and all roads even back roads with no lane markings, all the...
Hmm. Had any of the suspension parts not had any scrapes, scratches, etc., perhaps Rivian would have replaced the part as an in-warranty repair.
It's a judgment call, and the evidence does support Rivian's position in my view.
Worst case, Imagine somebody offroading, vehicle still in warranry...
