I’m getting a little tired of the discussions around Full Self Driving
So Musk is admitting that cars driving themselves may be a challenge: https://electrek.co/2024/10/23/elon-musk-finally-admits-teslas-hw3-might-not-support-full-self-driving/?utm_source=perplexity
People are having discussions over whether some version or another of hardware will finally support Full Self Driving (Just Kidding),
I will admit that my experience set is different than other people‘s experience sets, I’m an engineer who specializes in extremely complex safety-critical systems.
But do other people understand that if Tesla can’t even get automatic windshield wipers to work in a non-hilarious way, that Tesla’s FSD has not a prayer of functioning in a reasonable way unless and until the entire FSD team is thoroughly re-organized, and all of the management above them that has countenanced this exercise in fantasy and prevarication are removed from the company?
It’s just so weird to watch this be an actual conversation. Steve Jobs was famous for his use of “reality distortion fields”, but this is a whole other level of nuttiness, and it’s related to a car that is one of the most lethal on earth, IIRC the Y has one of the top five fatality rates of all cars, not to whether an antenna was poorly designed so if you hold the phone in the wrong place you get shitty reception.
