    Tesla’s decision to only use cameras and no radar will byte them in the ass.

        This. That cocksucker has such ~a tiny dick~ fragile ego he makes huge decisions without any expertise simply because he says so. Thats how he built the whole “genius” thing around him. Reality of it is that he is an annoying dumbass who thinks he knows it all and anyone in the same room with more than one brain cell is immediately annoyed with him. But he has a lot of money so i guess LeTtEr X cOoL

          I think you need to use two tildes on each side if you want it show up as a strike through like this

      Currently they seem to be leading the race though even though the competition is using radar and lidar

        If buy leading the race you mean the only company to have an actual product available for purchase then yeah.

        But the reason they were able to get to market so quickly is because they don’t actually have any concerns about it being functional or safe. That’s a real boon to them because it helps them move quickly ahead of the competition that do care about those things.

        Of course one good argue that an unsafe self-driving system is in fact not a self-driving system and therefore they are not the first to market.

          The average consumer would define self driving as “if my car crashes, my car should be sued”. Is that how it works with a tesla crash, who pays for that?

          No, I mean leading the race as in having the most capable sefl driving system in existence which I believe is the case.

          I don’t know what you’re basing the claim on that it’s not functional and safe.

            I am basing my claim on it not being functional and safe.

            I’m basing my claim on the fact that it drives into trucks. Since I don’t want to be driven into a truck by my car, I would consider that to be a failure state.

            Do some research.

              I don’t think anyone has ever claimed it’s flawless. After all it’s still in beta version. If you hit a truck it’s because the driver wasn’t paying attention.

              I still don’t know what you’re basing these claims on except your own opimion apparently. “It’s not safe” compared to what? As far as I know Tesla FSD has had less accidents per mile than an average driver.

              In the 2nd quarter, we recorded one crash for every 4.41 million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology (Autosteer and active safety features). For drivers who were not using Autopilot technology (no Autosteer and active safety features), we recorded one crash for every 1.2 million miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 484,000 miles.

              Perhaps you should do some more research?
