    I regard it as the better way to do it the other way around: that the car intervenes when the driver makes mistakes...not that the driver has to sit on eggs always wautibg to intervene. This would lead to autonomous driving level 5 way faster. The driver shouldn't even know that the car will intervene if the driver makes a mistake. This way drivers will drive as they did before the term autonomous driving was even coined.

    The only way other companies can equal Tesla's FSD, is to add more sensors and have a lot of compute such as NVidia's B100 locally. Which means it could add another 30K to the cost of vehicle. Also training will likely happen insitu, on vehicle as well, and cannot be improvised collectively on the fleet. In short, entire car industry will be in a pickle, unless they license FSD tech from Tesla!. Don't see any other way around it🤞. Everyone were quiet until now, since FSD on normal Teslas cannot reach L4. But Robotaxi will be L4 to begin with(due to additional sensors and probably an onboard FSD model training as well, apart from a much powerful inference engine).❤👍

      The only self driving that will matter is the one that can go on more or less any modern car, for a small price, for the biggest amount of people so that it will also have an effect on overall traffic.

      5 million miles of a program that doesn't work isn't as good as a few hundred miles of a system that has a LICENSE to operate at Level 3 autonomy. If Tesla wants to argue about it, they are welcome to apply for the same Level 3 California license that Mercedes applied for. I've never driven a Mercedes with autonomous driving, but I've been on road trips in a Tesla with FSD and then FSD "Supervised" and Tesla's FSD just doesn't work.

    Mercedes Benz should not worry. Tesla is not publishing the take rate or sales of FSD for a reason. It's a flop and won't be popular even if it's perfected. Very few drivers use driver assistance features (of all kinds) except on long trips. Tesla has exact numbers from millions of cars on how often they are used and won't publish them for a reason. Everyone wants to talk about making it "work" and that's not the issue, the issue is getting people to use it enough to be willing to pay for it. I tried FSD just last mouth on a long trip and it was terrible. Kept switching to wrong lane like turn lanes that are ending and phantom braking is STILL an issue and it did that several times. I just gave up and drove the car before it caused some other driver to get road rage at me or worse cause a accident.

      The issue is not where FSD is today, but rather if FSD is improving at a rate that gives high confidence Robo Taxi is feasible. I've had FSD since 2020 and have been critical of it prior to version 12. I now see Tesla is on the correct path. If Tesla had no faith in FSD, they would not be building a very expensive supercomputer at Giga Texas, or be investing in a Robo Taxi prototype.

Using satellite imagery and data for 3,427 flood events around the world over 2000-21, the researchers found that flooding affected a larger proportion of cropland area in low-frequency flood areas (4.7%) compared to high-frequency flood areas (1.2%). In addition, the study found that the average losses of wheat and rice were greater in low-frequency flood areas, owing to “the higher precipitation anomalies, soil moisture anomalies and greater crop flooding during their growing seasons”.

      @@RagnarinVa This continues to fascinate me. I have a bunch of friends with Teslas and I've driven them on road trips as well as a few company Telas. I went on a road trip using FSD in 2019 (Burlington VT to NYC) and again in April 2024 (Plattsburgh NY to Burlington VT). My experience and the experience of all my friends is that FSD does not work at all and we wouldn't use it if it was free, let alone paying between $8k and $15k (whatever they feel like charging this week). BUT, I keep encountering people online who say its great. I talked to a guy a few weeks ago who tracks interventions and says he hasn't had to intervene in 3 months. My 2-hr April road trip on 50mph state highways required 36 interventions and I figure 8 of the incidents would have gotten me killed if I hadn't intervened. I've found online discussions that say Tesla FSD works much better in California and Texas, but everyone agrees that it shouldn't, because unlike Waymo, it should not be relying on very detailed data from a geofenced area. None of the people I've talked to (including you) seem to be lying about FSD, so I can't figure out why people are having such wildly different experiences

A major drawback of Tesla is not being able to recognize traffic signs and thus not being able to adapt the speed automatically. Tesla‘s cruise control does not even have a resume function to go back to the previously saved speed. Tesla has completely lost the head start they once had with the software.
