The car is going to predict which way you are wanting to turn or whatever and illuminate the indicator. I can see how this could possibly kind of sort of work based on navigation routes but I don't know how this is going to work for freeway lane changes - though I suppose the vision is that freeway driving will be using some form of autonomy so the driver will never try to change lanes. I don’t really know what else to call the knob/dial/stalk/stick that you use to select drive, reverse and park other than a gear selector even if it’s not actually selecting a gear. But yes, at least according the latest Musk tweet, the car is going to guess whether you want to go in forward or reverse based on context(???).

If they expect to be able to go from point A to point B without human intervention it's going to be pretty good at picking a direction. Multi point turns are the only thing I can think of where it's not obvious. Maybe an empty parking lot when you could pick anything, but it'll default to forward. I'm sure it'll have gear position shown on the front screen, so it's not going to surprise you. The car already knows when you get in. Put foot on the brake and it picks a gear, put foot on accelerator and you're off. Simple enough. They also have millions of miles worth of data to do neural leaning against. I bet it's 99.9% accurate for 95% of drivers day 1 and will become 99.9% accurate for the remaining 5% of drivers with a month of training for your preference. Short version, you'll almost never interact with the touch screen anyway.

If you come to a full stop in a parking lot, you may or may not want to change direction. If a computer is supposed to be guessing that, there's going to be a lot of crashes as people get surprise reverse.

Not to be a Musk apologist, but I think the gear change thing will be fine, even if it’s a little quirky. You get in the car, buckle up hit the break, car sees a wall in front of it, chimes and shows a big R on screen. You back out of the garage onto the street, push the break again to stop, car knows it just reversed and sees open road in front of it, chimes and shows a big D on the screen (phrasing), and you’re on your way. I don’t get the freakout over the possibility of “taking your eyes off the road!!” to shift gears. You stop moving to switch gears right? Or is everyone just just slamming it into drive while going 15mph in reverse?

A touchscreen selector without question increases the likelihood of engaging the wrong mode, and given old people are constantly loving up parking and driving into the sea or whatever this means that kind of thing will happen more frequently. Its not about whether a fully competent person can do it right, but tired, or old, or otherwise incompetent people. There is no reason to do this other than save $20 on a selector stalk. And the idea the car decides to take itself out of Park is just horrible.

Okay, now how about when you pull along side a space you’re considering parallel parking in. Does the car stay in drive or go into reverse? Which behavior do you want? You come to a stop in a parking lot where there open spots both ahead and behind you. Are you going to back into a space or pull in forward? Which behavior do you want? You back out of your drive into the street and stop, but think maybe you should back up a few more feet and straighten out more to provide more clearance to get around the street parked car in front of you. Does the car decide for you that you’ve got enough room and put it in drive? Even assuming that the car somehow makes you aware of what it’s doing and you aren’t surprised to find yourself going in the wrong direction every time it guesses wrong in a situation like that is going to require more work from the driver just to correct the error. What a lovely thing to have to contend with every thing you drive. You can’t even build up muscle memory for dealing with it because it’s entirely opaque so you’ll never know when it’s going to guess right or wrong, and any given update to the prediction algorithm could change the behavior so you might wake up way day and have it make a completely different choice than it did the day before during some routine interaction.

One of the big selling points of FSD is you can tap the stalk and it changes lanes on its own, right? (assuming it doesn't just cancel) I feel like that makes it more difficult to have it not on the steering wheel. No one's gonna take their hands too far off the thing that controls where the car is going to... change where the car is going. ilkhan posted:Did they confirm its the new cell size?

Tesla won’t even bother figuring out how accurate it’s gear selection algorithm is, it’ll throw it out there for the public to test it, put people at risk and when they hurt/kill maim, they’ll settle out of court and make people sign NDAs. I don’t care if it’s 99.999% accurate. It’s ridiculously stupid to replace a shift knob with cameras and AI. This is why I’ll never buy a Tesla I guess.

When the Model S refresh was announced so soon after I got my Model S Performance I was a little bummed, but on second thought I think my resale will be even stronger given the questionable features on the new ones and associated price hikes. I ended up getting mine for only a few thousand more than the new Long Range will be, and who knows when you'll be able to get one delivered. Looking at their site, there are only 4 new ones left in SoCal inventory and the cheapest one is $95K for a demo. Anyway the car seems OK after putting 1,000 or so miles on it. It's pretty boring to drive but does what it needs to do and has an excess of power whenever you want it. It's the only car I've owned where other people seem genuinely impressed by it - turns out no one really cares about hand-built German V8s but a big touchscreen is apparently considered amazing, to say nothing of the instant torque. I do miss having engine noise though. heated game moment fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Jan 30, 2021 |

People here seems to ignore the techbro target users, they are going to use an arcade videogame model of "stopped car and driver pushing throttle pedal" means forward motion while "stopped car pushing brake pedal" means reverse motion. Doing AI ML to guess is more cumbersome than that.

And although it really isn't pertinent to this conversation, a frightened 80 year old trying to parallel park in a busy city ought to use auto park, and a modern car with collision avoidance ought to stop the car before it crashes into an obstacle, if said frightened 80 year old pressed the R button by mistake and floored it. At least that's the idea, and it has nothing to do with Tesla.

It doesn't need to be a separate control interface. Then why did you respond to a post about something completely different? The touchscreen implementation could range from dangerous to merely annoying to mostly inoffensive, but that is completely separate from the issue of the car making decisions about your direction of travel for you. Of course, a coworker of mine had the MCU screen just randomly stop working while driving on the highway and “not being able to shift car out of drive because the touchscreen stopped working” is a pretty unpleasant failure mode. Edit: I also think there’s a flawed assumption that everyone is and should be looking at the touchscreen when they park. It’s not a substitute for situational awareness and even with a backup camera or top down 360 view you should be using your windows and mirrors as well. And auto-park is not the solution, it’s far from perfect. This is the sort of “it works in these narrowly tailored situations so it’ll work anywhere” is how you end up with door handles that can’t be opened when it’s cold outside because the car was developed in California. Or, as above, someone not considering why you might want to be turning in one direction while signaling in another because roundabouts aren’t a regular occurrence.

Does it differ between R, or D, or some other mode? Tap a momentary lever forward to put it in reverse. Tap a momentary lever forward to also put it in park. Same feedback, same motion. Did I do one tap or two? Got to look for a tiny illuminated letter to tell. Look at the Lincoln one and tell me it's substantially better than the exact same thing on a touchscreen.
