#Tesla apparently switched on (not just offered—switched on) #FSD#FullSelfDriving on all cars this month, apparently to goose their numbers.
“I’ve rarely been so frightened behind the wheel of my own car. As an experience it ranks right up there with driving that one stretch of the 880 where you’re supposed to go at 45mph and everybody drives twice that, the time I was riding in a Lyft and was jackknifed by a tow truck, or that one time I was driving on the 101 North and a tech bro Lamborghini shot out of the Highway 12 offramp and came within two inches of hitting me, spun around in the road, and careened off into the distance.”
“So would I pay the money for it? Fear on this level seems like a pretty poor use of $12,000 or $199 a month. You can rent a horror movie for $2.99, and paying attention to America is free.”
#FSD#V12_3 through #V12_3_3
Where is my #adaptive#cruise#control???? I used to pull down the shift lever once to get it, and twice for FSD/#Autopilot. Now it has a single pull down going to FSD. Of course they could have borked the adaptive cruise control speeds like they borked speed under FSD. I have no way to find out now.
So, #FSD. I happen to have it in my #Tesla, and a few days ago it updated to version 12. The reviews from long-time early adopters on YouTube were universally excited, and I agree it got smoother and more natural than version 11. Going through turns on red and stop signs is almost human (in a good way), and roundabouts are not embarrassing anymore.
You gain some new better behaviors, but you also get a new set of bugs which you've already fixed before. This, in my experience has been the story of #FSD development for a long time now.
By the way, I don't know if there's a better way for this technology. We don't have an alternative success story. But make no mistake, this is still an area of active research, not even close to a finished product, not even a Beta. No matter hard Elon Musk tries to gaslight everyone into thinking otherwise.
:blobpeek: Tesla Employee Who Loved Elon Musk Reportedly Killed by Full Self-Driving
— Futurism
"Regardless of how drunk Hans was, Musk has claimed that this car can drive itself and is essentially better than a human," von Ohain's widow Nora Bass told WaPo. "We were sold a false sense of security."
@itnewsbot#Musk can gladly pack his bags and leave. He doesn't own any of it. The #Autopilot stack? Nope. #FSD computers? Nope. #Dojo? Nope. Optimus? Nope.
All he owns is X.AI, a new chatbot startup - a latecomer in a crowded field.
Unlike vehicles with human motorists, autonomous cars cannot be punished for breaking traffic laws in California. Police in San Francisco were told that "no citation for a moving violation can be issued if the [autonomous vehicle] is being operated in a driverless mode"
"Tesla .. recalling .. over 2m vehicles in .. United States fitted with its Autopilot advanced driver-assistance system to install new safeguards, .. system was open to “foreseeable misuse”.
.. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has been investigating the electric automaker ..
.. update to 2.03m Model S, X, 3 and Y vehicles .. dating back to .. 2012 model year,.."
Remember #Musk announcing that Tesla’s goal was to demonstrate a cross-country autonomous drive, Los Angeles to Times Square in New York, “without the need for a single touch, including the charger,” by the end of 2017?
Well, that didn't go well. Now #Tesla is recalling those cars because, well, they seem to kill people who believed him.
NOTE: Musk also said that some of those going to "occupy Mars" are going to die.

Being able to see bug reports is not required to use the software.
That doesn’t quite answer the question. Nor is it strictly true. Bug tracker info is rich in workarounds for problems that hinder the use of the software.
You’ve made the decision to block Cloudflare,
Cloudflare’s decision, not mine. Cloudflare along with projects that use it made the (often unwitting) decision to block me, among other excluded people. Could I have executed Cloudflare’s non-free javascript to use the website, which is pushed contrary to FSF criteria C0? Perhaps, I didn’t try. Though I’ve run their garbage in the past and found that it rarely works anyway because the CAPTCHA servers themselves tend to be tor-hostile.
It’s worth noting that when execution of JavaScript of any kind is imposed in order to obtain information, it’s not a document; it’s an application.
Expecting free software developers to ensure that every single part of the experience is seamless for users who decide to block certain services is not reasonable.
Expecting FSF to facilitate exclusion of free software documentation and resources (the status quo) is not reasonable.
All important site functionality that’s enabled for use with that package works correctly (though it need not look as nice) in free browsers, including IceCat, without running any nonfree software sent by the site. (C0)
Does not discriminate against classes of users, or against any country. (C2)
Permits access via Tor (we consider this an important site function). (C3)
V. A person’s right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background, or views.
VI. Libraries which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms available to the public they serve should make such facilities available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use.
VII. All people, regardless of origin, age, background, or views, possess a right to privacy and confidentiality in their library use. Libraries should advocate for, educate about, and protect people’s privacy, safeguarding all library use data, including personally identifiable information.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is also reasonable:
art.21 ¶2. Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country.
art.27 ¶1. Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.
These are good ideas. These fundamental principles & rights are a minimum low bar to set that cannot be construed as “not reasonable.”
If Cloudflare links in the #FSF#FSD are replaced with archive.org mirrors, that automatically invokes the Library Bill of Rights (as InternetArchive is an ALA member). The LBR is also consistent with FSF’s principles.
Dashcam-Aufnahmen zeigen einen Unfall aus dem Jahr 2021. Zu sehen ist ein Tesla Model X, das in ein auf der Straße stehendes Polizeiauto kracht. Verantwortlich für den Crash: der Autopilot.
Bei dem Unfall wurden fünf Beamte verletzt. Diese haben nun Klage gegen Tesla eingereicht:
Teslas Full-Self-Driving-Beta-Software ist in letzter Zeit ins Kreuzfeuer geraten und hat mit zahlreichen Rückschlägen zu kämpfen.
Neben Kollisionen und bundesstaatlichen Ermittlungen gibt es nun offenbar einen neuen Vorfall, der das Vertrauen in die Sicherheit des Systems erschüttern könnte.
They will claim to have fulfilled the promise once it can drive safer than humans on some restricted set of roads in California, possibly the US.
Everything else will perpetually remain in "beta", because they have severely underestimated the extremely long tail of rare but difficult and even conflicting challenges, all of which have to be solved for level 5 self-driving everywhere.
NHTSA Gives Tesla Two Weeks To Show Its Work On Autopilot And FSD
In a letter dated July 3, NHTSA asks Tesla to describe all changes to the systems in the “design, material composition, manufacture, quality control, supply, function, or installation of the subject system, from the start of production to date.”
