grittyreboot posted:Tesla keeps advertising Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk for their gaming system and those are horrible games for that kind of screen. You'd just be looking down and to the right trying to read pretty information dense HUDs on a screen that's about the size of those tiny TV's you get for your kitchen. Not to mention both games were designed to be played for well over a hour at a time, not for the 20 or so minutes you need to spend at a recharging station. I've said it before but the point of this is to show another guy in your driveway, like Kirk Van Houten. It's not to actually play the games for more than 5 minutes.

I get the appeal of a self-driving car, but I absolutely don't understand wanting to participate in a beta test of one (much less paying a $200/mo. premium for the privilege). Doesn't having to constantly remain vigilant and at the ready to yank back control if things go wrong totally defeat the purpose of a car supposedly being "self-driving"? Imagine I asked you to hold an egg in the palm of your open hand for an hour and make sure it doesn't get broken. Sure, it's a nuisance, and you probably would need to concentrate on it occasionally if you were doing more than just sitting there, but all in all it's a very manageable task. Now what if I said I would hold the egg in the palm my hand for an hour, and all you have to do is catch it before it hits the ground if I drop it. Which of those tasks sounds like it would require more concentration?

When I first tried the Tesla I felt the basic autopilot was a lot like trying to teach a teenager to drive. You're sitting there and not really actively doing anything, but really you're concentrating really hard, waiting for them to do something stupid (and they will). Tesla's basic stuff is exactly the same, and I assume FSD is there too. I actually found it more tiring than just actually driving the car. I actually think there may be something to the stuff people who claim ADAS might be dangerous, if the ADAS in any way allows you to relax, like "autopilot" tries to, you'll get complacent and stop paying attention even though the system is only really meant to make you drive better. The other aspect of it is that they make a big deal of the Tesla being a sports car, with the huge torque (which isn't mandatory in an EV, they make an effort to do so), rear wheel drive, handling, etc. - just to then say "also the car will drive itself". Like, why would the people you're pandering to with the "driving feel" stuff want it to drive itself?

Edmund Sparkler posted:One of the best things Logitech did was standardize their wireless dongles and allow you to connect 5 devices to one receiver. There's got to be so much e waste generated by so many wireless keyboards and mice getting separated from their receivers so they just get tossed. My only complaint is that you can have five devices synced to one receiver, but you cannot have one device synced to two receivers. They may very well extremely practical and/or technical issues for why you can't do this, but I wish I could.

Self driving is stupid because I'm the exact demographic that could most use FSD - wealthy enough to afford a vehicle with it, living in a state/county with poo poo public transportation, and no driver's license - and yet I can't possibly use it because of the last point. Because I simply cannot see the law ever allowing somebody who straight up does not have a driver's license to ever be the sole person in a self-driving car with no real ability or know-how to take control of the vehicle if it started doing something insane.

Actual self driving does exist, Waymo has self driving taxis where you just sit in the back and let it take you where you're going. But they only operate in very limited well-mapped areas, have far more comprehensive sensors than Tesla and always have a car lurking somewhere nearby with a driver in it who will come rescue you if the car gets stuck. That's about as far as we are going to get for the foreseeable future.

That's about as far as we are going to get for the foreseeable future. yeah, ive mentioned it before ts really weird that the general conversation around self driving cars continues to treat them as some hypothetical thing that tesla might someday successfully make, ignoring the fact that someone else already did. the tesla fanboys wont mention them for obvious reasons, nor will the tesla detractors since talking about them doesnt involve some kind of tesla-related take, and thus they end up left out of the conversation even though they are in fact already on the street in an increasing number of cities, often driving around with no one in them at all. currently they are very annoying tho. ive never ridden in one but ive been stuck behind them a few times and its exactly like getting stuck behind a very old person who drives exactly the speed limit. apparently the sfpd tried pulling one over once, an empty one, and it did initially pull over but then took off again while the cop was standing there, and then led a 25 mph "police chase" until the company intervened Earwicker fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Jan 7, 2023 |

I like to think of the $15k cost of FSD as paying a driver for 24/7 service. If you drive a legacy vehicle, you are essentially your own personal driver. My time is quite valuable so I would have to pay myself about $17k to drive myself around and be available at my every whim. Keep in mind that as a personal driver you can’t just decide to go get lunch anytime, in case you need a ride somewhere. You’re always on the clock. 17k isn’t enough to survive on and you’re looking at a second job at minimum. For that reason $15k is a very good deal for me. I don’t really go anywhere so a lot of that driver time is waiting - at worst I save $2k in driver wages and don’t have to pay taxes on that income either. So that’s $4k minus taxes minus the $2k right there. I have a medical condition that makes me react weird to alcohol so it is also much safer if I have to go somewhere.

Isn't a big part of having a driver that they drop you off and go away until you need them, to save you from having to find a park? What do you do, pat the Tesla on the roof and say "off you go little fella, see you at 4"?? (also loling at anyone who's posting on this forum saying "my time is quite valuable", but that's low hanging fruit indeed.)
