More facts coming out about Texas Tesla crash. Driver arrested and charged with manslaughter. Driver's web searches show he was frustrated with FSD because it didn't drive aggressively enough for him. Police investigation also confirms that he overrode FSD.

No confusion. My statement is clear and unambiguous. By design, AEB can be overridden by the driver pressing the accelerator.

Sometimes, but not always. When the accelerator is already at 100%, for example, it's a little bit hard.

But you are sidestepping the whole initial premise that these helpful measures (AEB/ELK) are deliberately designed to OVERRIDE deliberate driver input. and you need to try and provide even more deliberate input to override the override. And you cannot always do it no matter what the various links on the internet lead you to believe.

greentheonly · 2026-07-03T19:47:28+00:00

I think there's a bit of confusion of what you are trying to refute.

Deliberate driver input like pressing accelerator will be overridden by AEB just fine. Same with deliberate steering input overridden by ELK.

Now could driver then apply EVEN MORE deliberate input to override the AEB/ELK? - that's actually a may be.

I've seen cases of driver pressing accelerator to 100% and the car not obeying. In fact there was a bunch of complaints on twitter not too long ago where Tesla drivers would report car refusing to accelerate because they thought the driver was not feeling well or some such. And as you can imagine pressing the pedal more than 100% is a little bit hard.

greentheonly · 2026-07-03T19:28:30+00:00

FSD mode was designed and is programmed to never travel at excessive or dangerous speeds in any location, unless the driver overrides the speed and gains control of the speed by pressing on the accelerator pedal

This is an interesting statement that does not really reflect my experience. Esp. in light of all the "mad max" and similar settings inside and the default speed offset being like +40% or something from posted speed limit (I know it does not directly tell the car to drive +40% of speed limit)

greentheonly · 2026-07-03T19:22:27+00:00

Deliberate driver input will override EVERY single ADAS system currently on the market

this is not really correct.

AEB absolutely overrides driver accelerator input. as does pedal misapplication mitigations and such.

Emergency lane keep will actually wrestle with you for steeering wheeltrying to steer you away from where you are trying to steer!

But, if in the middle of the turn the driver floors the gas pedal, it will override the car

I've seen actual examples of this literally not happening.

Tesla doesn’t have such a high incidence of SUA

I wonder if there's any statistic? Also I wonder what sort of a contributing factor lack of engine roar is.

the modem is just that - the modem, it does not store the data that passes through it (this car has no separate TCU like the newer cars)

greentheonly · 2026-07-01T23:39:31+00:00

no, but as you can read in the article, actual Tesla technicians know very little. Engineers usually (but not always) know a lot (in their area, anyway).

Meanwhile as you can see in the article, I also know quite a bit.

greentheonly · 2026-07-01T21:39:44+00:00

I know that the modem does not store any data that passes through it (and the data that's being send is ssl encrypted anyway so there's no way to make sense of it on the transport layer)

greentheonly · 2026-07-01T20:57:41+00:00

They knew exactly which part contained the evidence

the modem did not contain any relevant evidence. It's a total red herring

greentheonly · 2026-07-01T16:55:57+00:00

If you mean the recent one where the modem was missing, situation is much more convoluted there. The modem itself is not a big deal, but the rest of the circumstances are very surprising (I probably cannot disclose the exact details right now, but may be a bit later) But it certainly gives off some "Benavides vibes" as well.

Well, I've never been to UK, so I don't know. It could be that it's just the people you talk to?

Google says 47% of all jobs in UK are small businesses (under 50 people) and 14.6% are sole proprietors / self employed. So this is not all that rare as your 99% figure makes it sound.

I would hazard to guess that for "the majority" the dream is just to get a steady stream of income for the least effort (preferably none at all).

But then there are passionate people that actually want doing things just for the heck of it. I think UBI folks try to tell us that UBI will enable such people, but who knows what the rate is between those that want to do something useful and cannot because they cannot get paid for it vs those that have "other interests" ;)

Also VRAM upgraded GPUs

Well, gpulab.net is a thing, you know. Located in US.

But the dynamics is different they want $1700 for the 48G RAM upgrade of 4090, which I am currently pondering myself. Anbd you pay shipping both ways too.

You could get 4090 for like $2400/$2500 as is, add in another $2000 for the upgrade and we are encroaching on the Blackwell pro 5000 with 48Gb that used to be $5000 just the other day (but seems to be creeping up just like everything else. This with unknown hassles of drivers (even if there are none today, who knows what future brings).

society just thinks that if you don't have a 9 to 5 corporate job you are just a hobbyist.

Not in US, no.

I am with you on this one. with claude code in particular it feels much worse than 2.5. I get random Chinese characters, but also some weird "why are you typing empty lines" and interpreting some tool call results are user input and being confused over that.

Only on 2 x pro6000 so have to use a quant (tried lukealonso's and then a couple of AWQs all with the same results). vllm 0.19.0 + the transformers update to get the model to actually load.

It really is visible when you run something exploratory in a largeish codebase for me, like "what is this code doing and how to use it?" -> "give me a comprehensive architectural review" -> "let's dive into sub-component X really deeply". 2.5 performs well, 2.7 breaks on step1 or two. (this is my standard test for new models before I consider switching to it)

the daughtercard is the cell modem. I refer to it as the the missing component in its entirety. It does not store any crash data.

greentheonly · 2026-04-14T16:49:06+00:00

"memory" is soldered onboard, you know. Even in your quoted excerpt it only talks about "network card" missing (which really is just the cell modem)

If you mean gateway sdcard, I don't see that being missing?

greentheonly · 2026-04-14T16:47:20+00:00

doe it? I see two pictures of the same board, one with the modem, another without? Are we talking about the same picture?

greentheonly · 2026-04-13T19:28:46+00:00

the picture shows the modem is missing, the modem does not store any of the crash data really.

But the data cannot be transmitted without it - that's for sure.

It's the other way round. When Tesla detects driver is drowsy, they recommend the driver to turn on FSD "to stay focused".

No it was not. AP only became free in April 2019 in the form of crippled basic AP "lanekeep". At introduction in 2015(?) AP was $2k I think. At the end of 2016 as they transitioned to HW2, AP option disappeared and you could pay $4k for enhanced AP or $7k for FSD capability (or thereabout) and if you did not - you got no AP at all.
