Tesla's FSD Beta continues to evolve, with the latest update showcasing smoother lane changes and traffic signal recognition. It's like our cars are learning to read! 🚦🧠 #Tesla #FSD #WholeMarsBlog
Rumor has it, Tesla's next-gen Roadster will boast a 0-60 mph time of 1.8 seconds. This rocket on wheels is about to redefine "fast and furious"! 🚀🏎️ #TeslaRoadster #AccelerationKing
On December 15th I left to drive from Los Angeles to near Philadelphia. Got back yesterday, after a total of 6,392 miles in the Model S Plaid with #FSDBeta.
Drove more than 99% autonomously, and I've some not great @Tesla Autopilot + FSD thoughts and experiences to share... 🧵
Drove more than 99% autonomously, and I've some not great @Tesla Autopilot + FSD thoughts and experiences to share... 🧵
Let me start off by saying I recorded most of the trip in 4k@60fps from a GoPro inside of the car, and so I _should_ have footage of many of the things I’m complaining about here. Might be hard to find it though, amongst all the footage.
The second is that even with the issues I’m raising, it did reduce the personal cost of driving so many miles. It was a lifesaver. That said, it caused stress in other ways that wasn’t present years ago, some of which I think are legitimate safety concerns for me and others.
Congrats to #FSD team for the great progress!
Our Supervision system shares the camera-centric approach, but differs in some key elements.
1) Crowd-based HD map vs. SD map
2) Math-based vs. simulation-based driving policy
3) Multiple redundant systems vs. a single one

Humans drive better when they are familiar with the road ahead. Furthermore, it is better to solve problems offline than to solve them online. Offline has more compute, knowledge of the future, optimal weather conditions, and the ability to validate quality.

We can plan way in advance for curves ahead, or for occluded areas in an intersection. We could use rear camera when there's a low-sun in front, and still know the lanes ahead. But, REM maps are much more than that.

Here’s how Elon Musk is the biggest charlatan of 21st century.

@elonmusk @Tesla Tired of sending my feedback to the Tesla FSD Beta e-mail address and sending autopilot videos only for no reply and to see no change in how car handles things. Will just post them here and perhaps someone might see it. #fsdbeta #fsd
#FSDbeta is not beta, or even alpha, and is barely an engineering prototype if we go by standards of hi-tech companies I've worked with/for. First of all, it suffers from a severe regression problem when compared to production software.
But first, a word about where I drive my car. I live in the midwest, a rural area with many state highways that have 55 mph speed limits, T-intersections, and many small villages where speed limits will rapidly change between them. It's clear @Tesla doesn't invest much time here.

How late does $TSLA Q4 2021 Earnings Call get started?
Don't expect fireworks from a DOJ NEUTERED Musk. There's a reason Musk didn't post a video of him driving the latest Cybertruck prototype--that reason is NIKOLA/Trevor Milton federal indictment.
I mean, Musk'll still be indicted, he's just not adding to the list.

D'abord, il faut dire que sur ce sujet (et comme sur maintes autres affaires), les positions sont a priori ultra clivées, entre des punk-à-chiens khmers verts décroissants anti-tout et des golden boys win-win de l'innovation digitale proactive 4.0.
RIP la nuance.

Mais on peut être nuancé et constater qu'un truc est débile.

Y'a peut être une raison.

Thread on the #Tesla Model 2 Fraud (aka "Fluffy Pillow" h/t @passthebeano)
It's being asked as an earnings call question again. It's simple: Musk LIED. The "Fluffy Pillow" is NOT going to happen for $25k. Musk just hiked the Model 3 SR+ (50 kWh) price to $42k... $TSLA $TSLAQ 1/6

...and that's *with* corner cutting with inferior Chinese LFP cells, killing lumbar adjustments, cheap paint, ersatz chips, not doing brake testing, etc.
Maybe #Tesla can cut $3k more with a tiny battery, but that'd mean a <150 mi. range. Making it a subcompact... 2/6

Elon Musk's strategy behind the #Tesla "Fluffy Pillow" was to use the car as a loss leader. He banked on FSD uptake pushing it into positive margin territory. 3/6

$TSLA $TSLAQ likes to boast quarterly about how incredibly safe #Autopilot is in their Vehicle Safety Report. The numbers they claim are impressive, but let's look past the grand marketing claims typical of Elon Musk and dig into the numbers. 🧵
First of all, let me just state upfront that I have no doubt that driver assistance features like the dangerously misnamed "Autopilot" do improve safety. Most of those safety features are now widespread, e.g. on your average Toyota Corolla. (BTW, $TM Toyota marketing sucks)
Now where do $TSLA's numbers come from? Their own numbers are self reported and cannot be independently verified. The NHTSA number they quote, "an automobile crash every 484,000 miles", of comes from Overview of Motor Vehicle Crashes (page 3): crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/Pub…
1. 테슬라 FSD 릴리즈를 극 소수에게 한 이유를 지금 생각해보니, 정말 운전을 옳바르게(?) 하는 사람을 선별하기 위함이었단 생각을 해봅니다. 스탑 사인에서 슬금슬금 움직이는 것

4. 자율주행이 진짜 어렵다고 하는 이유는 수많은 엣지 케이스 이외에도 사람의 운전이 완벽할 수 없고 이런 바이어스가 FSD에 반영이 되는 것 같습니다

BREAKING: @ArgoAI and @Ford say they plan to launch self-driving vehicles (with safety drivers) on the @Lyft network beginning in Miami before the end of 2021. #Robotaxis #SelfDrivingCars #AutonomousVehicles @VWGroup
In a statement, @Ford, its associate @ArgoAI and #ridehailing service provider @Lyft say "the parties are now working to finalize agreements aiming to deploy at least 1,000 autonomous vehicles on the Lyft network, across multiple markets over the next five years."
As part of the deal, @Lyft will join @Ford and @VWGroup as an @ArgoAI shareholder. The #ridehailing service company will receive 2.5% of the common equity as part of the licensing and data access agreements to collaborate on the safe commercialization of #AutonomousVehicles.

- Qazi often MANUALLY INTERVENES by changing his vehicle's speed using the steering wheel's scroll wheel, e.g. in dangerous conditions
- The videos have all been done in LOW VEHICLE/FOOT TRAFFIC conditions, e.g. not rush hour

With @Tesla CJ Moore, Director of Autopilot saying "Elon’s tweet does not match engineering reality". Here's Elon's tweets/statement about #FSD $TSLA

Dec 2015: "We're going to end up with complete autonomy, and I think we will have complete autonomy in approximately two years."
January 2016: "In ~2 years, summon should work anywhere connected by land & not blocked by borders, eg you're in LA and the car is in NY"
June 2016: "I really consider autonomous driving a solved problem, I think we are less than two years away from complete autonomy, safer than humans, but regulations should take at least another year"

1/ Why #Tesla will be much more successful than #Apple, and much harder to compete against.
I am still admiring #SteveJobs and the great #Apple success, while I think #Telsa will have much greater success than Apple. This will have huge implications to $TSLA and competitors.

2/ It is easier to understand this from #Apple’s own loss of opportunities or strategic mistakes (Only IMO) over the last 10+ years:
. Chose to make iPhone exclusive only for ATT, leading Verizon and other caries no choice but to power the rise of #Android.

3/ Delayed the large screen phone for years, leading to the rise of Samsung/competitors.
. Chose to keep iPhone at high price (& profit), leading to the rise of Chinese phone makers like Huawei, Xiao Mi etc. They are really good now, many of my friends in China switched to Huawei

Tesla is growing in a world of Big Tech monopoly. Most ppl won't realize until number of major car makers shrinks to single digit & @Tesla dominates them all. This'll play out in front of our eyes, but many will still be surprised. Read full thread.

From days of Microsoft dominating PC OS & office productivity apps to today's dominance of Google (search), Facebook (social media), Twitter (microblogging), iOS & Android (smartphones), Big Tech is a world of "winner takes all" for many reasons, most to do with software!
Ostensibly, software makes it easier for new players to enter market & for users to adopt new products & services. But software also multiplies first mover, fast mover, right mover advantage manifold, making it virtually impossible for also-rans to offer meaningful competition.
1/ For those wanting extreme granularity for , using @TroyTeslike's Model Y survey and @snowbullcapital's data, here’s a thread of some of the Model Y data thus far (up to VIN 47k).
2/ The most common Model Y trim is the Long Range AWD with Pearl White Multi-Coat, 19” Gemini Wheels, All Black interior, with no FSD (15%). The rarest Model Y Trim is the Performance with Solid Black paint, 21’’ Überturbine Wheels, Black and White interior, with FSD (0.53%).
3/ Paint color is consistent between Performance and non-performance Model Ys.
