This is the important part.
What is the argument for deliberately impoverishing the Tesla sensory input?
I wonder if that sentiment is changing.
Front camera is sub-4K, the rest of the cameras are 1440p.. all of which are processed at 24fps. We are talking 10 year old iPhone specs here.
On the other hand… the not paid version of cruise control continuously fails in my two years old model Y. Realistically looking it’s to early to fantasize about robitaxis when simple phantom braking problem is not solved yet.
Some people will slow down to minimize the fatality of an impact and to increase reaction time (similar to people slowing down around a marked cop car). Others will speed up to ensure they don't get stuck behind or around one.
That happens with other unsafe vehicles (e.g. a truck that doesn't have its load well secured). But it makes me wonder what will happen if Tesla trains on the data of erratic driving created by its presence.
This company is so shaddy around all the driving assistance and FSD issues that i have 0 trust and will not until it is thoroughly investigated. They are quite behind other manufacturers on simple stuff like line assistance and automated breaking already, they are going out of their way to make every reported incident sounding that others are to blame, it just looks bad from end to end.
Rushing those robotaxis is just trying to hide the fact that they are quite behind the competition on all those fronts.
This part seems pretty bad
So just assume the information looks really bad for Tesla.
