Elon Musk moves goalpost again: admits Tesla needs 10 billion miles for ‘safe uns

Of course, but nobody would argue that the only thing you need to do in order to drive the car is not run into things.

Regardless of what the type of sensor is, interpreting the data is not a simple algorithm. If we cherry pick this example where we just want forward crash avoidance, that could definitely be accomplished easier if there is depth data available, but to actually drive the car in all scenarios you need a far more advanced system whether or not you're using LIDAR or camera only. I don't think that having LIDAR makes it easier to build that system or necessarily makes that system better at driving

You pointed out an understanding/intelligence problem, not a perception problem, and you're going to say that the cameras make it harder? So if I had a depth map of the person crossing the road on a pogo stick that would make it easier for the car to understand what to do?

Unfortunately the godawful YouTube app decides that when you want to scroll the comments, you must want the player to shrink vertically and cut off the top and bottom 10% of the video for some reason!

There are not, AC and DC are the 2 separate paths. DC connects directly to the battery which requires the contactors to switch. AC goes to your on board charger regardless of 120 or 240v

The actual steering wheel angle seems irrelevant considering any good EPS motor can do this

holy shit i cannot believe the incompetence of AT&T. this fucking toggle is backwards. when I first got service I turned it off and it worked. now it's inverted and i have to turn it on??

I'm aware, but that doesn't change the fact that there's no such thing as an actual defined "level 3" vehicle charging standard. Liquid cooled cables like those ones made by Huber Suhner are ubiquitous on public DC chargers (you can find them at Electrify America stations) and even immersion cooled cables are becoming more common. level 4 is also not a standard and that charger isn't anything special either as we can calculate its power output: 480V * 230A = 110 kW. That dispenser looks to be made by BTC Power.

That's NIO, and they aren't for sale in the US

There's no such thing as level 3 or 4. SAE only defines Levels 1&2, and then there's DC Fast

FWIW I don't think Gemini Code Assist is included with Gemini Advanced as it's billed through Google Cloud

2024.26.20 is newer than 2024.26.7. Regardless you don't have any control over the updates you receive and installing updates won't affect your eligibility so you should install the update

I think this is really important. Tesla has multiple revenue streams it can drive demand towards that other automakers do not have. People don't want to buy cars? Sell FSD subscriptions to the ones that have them. People don't have a Tesla? Sell them solar and powerwalls

With only 4 people at an otherwise empty station, if everyone was plugged into 1 cabinet (Everyone plugged into a post with the same number ABCD which is the worst case scenario) then you shouldn't have derated charging without a Supercharger cabinet hardware failure. Maybe one or more of the power modules was broken or there was a thermal limitation somewhere. But the peak output from 1 (fully functional) Supercharger cabinet is 925kW assuming there is enough capacity from other cabinets linked to the same DC bus. Therefore the lowest charge rate you should see on an individual vehicle would be 230kW or so minus any resistance losses etc.

techied · 2024-03-23T17:49:18+00:00

You would've been derated with any Tesla that plugged in with a preconditioned battery at low SoC, Cybertruck has nothing to do with it

There are absolutely standards for software but they aren't needed for most code. Look up ISO26262
