Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak says Tesla ‘is the worst in the world’ at improving its technology for drivers
Musk calling Wozniak a loser on shitter in 3, 2, 1…
Telsa stopped providing the data needed to be included in the J.D. Power reliability rankings after they went from near the top to 2nd to last.
The Woz has spoken. Ditch Tesla cars and buy something that isn't owned by a nazi gremlin.
Cars should not have software updates
They should but I'll go one further. Liability should be 100% with the auto manufacturers and car insurance should disappear or be drastically reduced assuming maintenance warranties are met. If I'm buying a FSD car I don't want any liabilities when it comes to safety.
This is why technically software is a liability. The less code you need, the better, since every line of code is a potential vulnerability and something to maintain, update, etc.
Ideally I don't want my car to be a computer at all, maybe isolated chips to run the abs and such very well defined strictly necessary tasks but that's it. Maybe a company will happen to make a good car at one point in time, but there aren't any companies you can trust not to fuck it up if they have perpetual access to tinker with it.
Love Woz but this is a stupid take. FSD is the best of the best and has improved dramatically the last few months.
"FSD is the best of the best and has improved dramatically the last few months.
Every musk fanboi has repeatedly claimed this "last few months" line for the past several years. If it was actually true the car would be sentient by now.
I'm not into Apple, but I'm into Woz, and if he said it, it's true.
“Where to find the time of day changes depending on what [driving] mode you’re in,” he said. “The buttons that go through your six favorite channels don’t work if it’s satellite radio channels. It takes so many tries to hit one button in your jiggly car, and it just doesn’t work.”
Well, Woz. You're famous for doing a universal control panel for another prominent piece of consumer electronics and figuring out how to interface it to lots of different brands.

In 1987, the first programmable universal remote control was released. It was called the "CORE" and was created by CL 9, a startup founded by Steve Wozniak, the inventor of the Apple I and Apple II computers.[2]
All you had to do then was to reverse-engineer the infrared protocols used to communicate with the televisions.
I bet that it's probably possible to figure out a way to have a third-party control panel interface with various auto UIs. Like, build a universal interface, and then just design mounting hardware on a per-car basis? Use Android Auto or CarPlay, OBD-II, and such?
Can Android Auto do climate control?

Sounds like it doesn't, but may start being able to do so:

Android Auto could be about to turn up the heat (and AC) on car comfort
Climate control may finally be coming to Google's in-car interface.
Android phones don't have physical buttons for car features. But...that's not a physical limitation. Just is a result of reusing a phone as a car panel.
So instead of having third-party car computers being the province of a few hobbyist hardware hackers, there's an out-of-box solution for everyone? Make the "Wozpanel" or whatever that I just mount in my car? Stick physical buttons on it? Maybe have a case and faceplate that wraps it to match interiors?
There's also Android Automotive that can do that (separate from Android Auto).
The reason Tesla doesn't use that, is because they want to control what you experience. There's a reason you can't use your own music provider.
…so is apple
And he’s right. The Autopilot has not improved for the last 5 or so years. It rather has gotten worse. Phantom brakes are a nightmare and truly dangerous, the wind shield wiper is highly erratic and the lane departure warning is often just plain wrong and mostly annoying.
I really regret buying this car. And that is not even counting the disastrous image issues caused by the wannabe-Göbbels that owns the company.
Sell it.
There is no one to sell it to.
Or donate it to NPR
