The FSD stuff seems like it could be useful in long haul freeway type situations but lmao am I trusting a fuckin computer to drive me through the fog

Also trains are cool and engineered to be nearly impossible to wreck.

I'd trust Ford's version of the technology more, but I just don't understand use examples. For those few moments when you can use the tech (long boring highway drives I assume), is it really that appealing? Like you can take your hands off the wheel for 15 minutes, so what?

Now, obviously, a full self driving vehicle has all kinds of benefits. But that's a long ways off.

I just want to say:

LOL at the redirect from twitter to x, it's literally using a token to redirect *all* traffic, because it automatically sends x.com to twitter.com, but then the twitter domain has to take the token and send it to the special sanitized x.com(no redirects) location?

Even the default https://twitter.com and https://x.com do this poo poo, it's so loving ham-fisted

EDIT: Also, this is completely stupid and now that I can't even pull up individual tweets without invoking some UID token and having page redirects like it's 2006, I'm in the "just take a screenshot of the tweet" club :colbert:

The cynic in me assumes that these companies are explaining these limitations knowing their target market will try to use the system all the time, going so far as to jailbreak through any blocks. In that case when it fucks up its user error.

But it's still a Tesla, the dorky electric vehicle company. Just imagine what happens if Dodge uparmors their charger or takes a RAM with armored plates, bars across the rear window, a cow bar, gigantic roof-mounted lights.

No greenwashed electrical engine, but 6 liters of combustion power under the hood. Protected fuel tank and extra heavy duty looks on the trunk/truck bed. If there is anything EV in there, it's a hybrid. And if you drive on the electric motor it's not because it reduces pollution at low speeds in the city or because it improves fuel burn, it's beccause it's 'tactical mode' or 'stealth power cruise' or whatever.

Extremely ruggedized trucks, SUVs, and cars, marketed specifically to appeal to people who think that metropolitan areas, or anywhere close to a bus stop, are dangerous places that you need armor to conquer.

Like, truck design has already been doing this for years now short of actual explicit "armored mods for combat zones" poo poo? The last 10+ years of American trucks have been more and more tacticool on larger, chunkier vehicles that are increasingly useless as trucks. A half-ton truck that needs a fold-down step to get into, with a vestigial 4' bed that can't carry poo poo, though that doesn't really matter because you need a step-ladder to reach into it to begin with. American car manufacturers are already well past the Cybertruck as a watershed design moment imo

Now, obviously, a full self driving vehicle has all kinds of benefits. But that's a long ways off.

I commute and drive a lot outside of that for family events and even small driver assistance features are helpful. Lane assist and auto-breaking cruise control can make for a safer ride and done right can 1) let the driver focus more on their surroundings and 2) help out when a distraction does happen. I really like my autobreaking cruise control for slow, high-traffic commuting. It requires a lot of oversight but it is a good experience overall.

Even the companies that are doing things methodically and carefully are far off from true self-driving in every scenario.

Mercedes seems to be the furthest along with a system that they are confident enough in for them to take liability for its failures. That’s what actually needs to happen for self-driving to progress. Legislation should be passed that companies are strictly liable for failures of their driver assistance systems and the burden of proof is on them to prove that it was user error.

Mercedes is also rightly using multiple different types of sensors to make their Drive Pilot system work instead of just depending on cameras. I know it’s just because Elons a loving moron but it should be blindingly obvious that vision alone is a terrible strategy (per the loving train video). If there are sensors like lidar that perform well in scenarios where vision alone would struggle, then they should use them too.

But Elon approaches everything with his ideas > form > function so he’s handicapped anything his companies build from the very beginning. Optimus vs Boston Dynamics is the other obvious comparison. Elon’s obsession with fuckable human-robots is going to guarantee that they will never get close to Boston Dynamics capabilities.

There is never going to be some inflection point where Tesla magically gets self-driving working. Their system is flawed from the start and we’ll see many other companies start passing them over the next 5 years.
