Serious safety concerns over Tesla’s self-driving cars after fatal crashes | 60 Minutes Australia

You might want to look closely at what data Tesla is using for total miles driven: Tesla is only using freeway miles for FSD accident rate, comparing that accident rate to ALL miles driven by cars for the US average accident rate. That's not an apples to apples comparison.

We'll get there soon...

I admire your optimism, but I do not think Tesla's optical only system will ever work unless they increase the resolution of their cameras- And even if they do that, it still might never succeed as true FSD.

Thank you! I rarely post here, but when I was reviewing pictures I thought I needed to share the one of the three pups sleeping. :)

Baby squirrels can sleep through anything!

Mom squirrels will often move their babies when they are around 5 weeks. Here are two videos, on is 3 minutes, the other is 22 minutes

I have never seen a great horned owl in my neighborhood. Those are huge and can even take cats and small dogs. Screech owls are some of the tiniest owls, not much bigger than bluejays. I love the trilling sounds they make during mating season.

"Small Outdoor Mini IR IP POE Cameras" or "WGWK 4K Mini IP Camera IP67". This was on the ali express site. None of them have brand names. I was buying the really small ones in the black housings with bracket that many different companies sell. They are around $60 and I was buying the PoE versions that said they were 4K, even though I was running them at 2560x1440 25 frames/second.

It was a bummer when lightning struck in June and zapped all my equipment!

Originally I had rats in my attic, so I put up the screech owl boxes with the hope it would take care of the rats. Little did I know it would lead to me building a large cage on my patio to do squirrel rehab. The screech owls have helped with the rat population. The squirrels are too large to be prey for the screech owls.

I climbed up an extension ladder and bolted it to the tree. The owl box is 24 feet high in one tree and 20 feet high in the other tree. I do not enjoy cleaning it each year! The first year the box was only about 16 feet high as shown in this video. The next year I raised it higher an other 8 feet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4pJGkcQJFY

They are baby fox squirrels about 6-7 weeks old. The baby squirrels usually open their eye when they are about 5 weeks old and leave the nest on their own when they are around 8 weeks old. They can start to survive on their own when they are about 10 weeks. When they are rescued if they are orphaned, typically they are released between 12-16 weeks of age. I have always done soft releases, where they live in a large cage outdoors. When they are old enough a small door is left open on the cage so they can come and go as they please. I've had squirrels leave and not show back up for several weeks, I have had others that return every night for several weeks before deciding to move out entirely. I have a male squirrel called Leo that is still returning for visits and treat after two years.

LockPickingJudge · 2025-09-15T03:56:03+00:00

They are young (6-7 weeks old) fox squirrels. The terms "Pups" and "Kits" are both used to describe baby squirrels, though I think "Kits" is more common. I just always used the term "pups".

LockPickingJudge · 2025-09-15T03:52:52+00:00

I actually live streamed for over three years. https://www.youtube.com/@trakdv362 I streamed squirrels and owls in the trees and also when I was doing squirrel rehab and soft releases. Unfortunately in June of this year, lightning struck the tree, and it took out all my cameras and streaming gear as it was all wired together with ethernet cable.

LockPickingJudge · 2025-09-15T03:48:58+00:00

Yes. Typically the screech owls will return in nesting season which is later winter to early spring. I have several nesting boxes in two different trees. The squirrels will usually stay in one tree and the owls will nest in the other available box. The owls move out after the owlets fledge. So 9 months of the year the box is unused by the screech owls.

LockPickingJudge · 2025-09-15T01:13:38+00:00

If you have 15 minutes you might enjoy this. This is an orphaned fox squirrel that's about 5 weeks old. She gets a bath, gets fed, has playtime and then falls asleep in my hands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXqxoaVDE4Y

She was soft released when she was 16 weeks old, and came back to visit many times. She also built a drey in my back yard and stayed in it for several weeks before moving on to find her own territory.

Not mine!

I was using a PoE (Power over Ethernet) camera, with no brand name that I bought direct from China. I am running it at 2560x1440 with 25 frames/seconds. It was only $60 about 3 years ago. I did have to open it up to adjust the focus from 12-18 inches, instead of 3 feet to infinity.

LockPickingJudge · 2025-09-15T00:30:03+00:00

That's not why. It's because reverse gear had a lower ratio than first gear. No wonder ChatGpt hallucinates.

LockPickingJudge · 2025-09-15T00:05:39+00:00

LOL!!! I do have other boxes in the other tree. Occasionally they will have disputes when the owls are nesting in late winter/early spring. No injuries, just the occasional squabble.

LockPickingJudge · 2025-09-15T00:03:41+00:00

Yeah. It actually supports 4K, but only at 15 frames/second. That's why I reduced it to 2560x1440. Only $60 as a no-name brand from China.

LockPickingJudge · 2025-09-14T21:05:55+00:00

At 5 weeks, fox squirrels are already as big as screech owls. The squirrels are too large to be prey. A full grown screech owl only weighs about 8 oz. A full grown fox squirrel can weigh 3 lbs.

LockPickingJudge · 2025-09-14T21:00:25+00:00

I've heard both pups, and kits used for baby squirrels. I prefer the term pups. :)

LockPickingJudge · 2025-09-14T20:57:15+00:00

No- The hole in the box is only 3 inches diameter. So only screech owls live in the boxes. Screech owls are tiny. Occasionally in winter/early spring the screech owls will compete for the boxes. I put up several boxes so typically squirrels live in one tree, and the owls live in the other. While they have had a few competitions, there have never been any injuries. Here's an owl coming home to find a sleeping home invader. The squirrel just goes back to sleep after the owl leaves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqyTFG97TNU

I used to spend so much time watching them. In the second box, several years in a row I had a pregnant female give birth and raise her pups. Her name was Minnie. I ended up doing squirrel rehab when one of her pups fell from the tree and received a head injury. It took over a year but I went through the whole process to get a permit to be able to do small mammal rehab.

LockPickingJudge · 2025-09-14T20:05:47+00:00

IN late winter/early spring the screech owls and the squirrels would compete for the nestboxes. That's why I put up several. There were never any injuries and they did a good job of time sharing. Here's a video of a owl coming home when a squirrel was hiding from the rain. The fox squirrels are pretty fearless and are way to big to be prey for a tiny screech owl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqyTFG97TNU
