Bingo! You get the prize :)

Wow! Wonder if Facebook will dissapear as quickly as MySpace

Nah, with hands on the wheel, looking at the road, the driver, who agrees they will pay attention, will have disengaged the system long before it gets to that point.

The system's super easy to disengage.

It's also getting better every year.

5 years ago my car could barely change lanes on the highway. Now it navigates lefts at 5 way lighted intersections in big city traffic with idiots blocking the intersection and suicidal cyclists running red lights as well as it was changing lanes on highway... And highway lane changes are extremely reliable. Cant remember my last lane change disengagement. Same car; just better software.

I bet 5 years from now it'll be statistically safer than humans... Maybe not same car. Hope it's my car too, but it's unclear if that processor is sufficient..

Anyway, it'll keep improving from there.

Ah shit did he really? That fucking turd

Lidar and sonar are way lower resolution.

Sonar has a hard time telling the difference between a manhole cover, large highway sign and a brick wall.

After many brilliant people trying for decades, it seems you can't get the robot chauffeur without several billion miles of actual driving data, sifted and sorted into what is safe, good driving and what is not.

Bot to be a hard-on about it, but if the cameras hace any problem autopilot ejects gracefully and hands it over to the driver.

I aint no elon dicj rider, but I got FSD andd the radar would see manhole covers and freak the fuck out. It was annoying as hell and pissed my wife off. The optical depth estimation is now far more useful than the radar sensor.

Lidar has severe problems too. I've used it many times professionally for mapping spaces. Reflective surfaces fuck it up. It delivers bad data frequently.

Cameras will eventually be great! Really they already are, but they'll get orders of magnitude better. Yeah 4 years ago the ai failed to recognize a rectagle as a truck, but it aint done learning yet.

That driver really should have been paying attention. Thee car fucking tells you to all the time.

If a camera has a problem the whole system aborts.

In the future this will mean the car will pull over, but it''s, as it makes totally fucking clear, in beta. So for now it aborts and passes control to the human that is payong attention.

I let out a little muppet scream when I saw 'em!

This mostly worked for me. He preferred the catgrass over the succulents.

I eventally bought like 4 pots of catgrass and would rotate them every week or so so theyd last longer.

I'd like to chart the popularity of items changes throughout the day/ night. I bet after the bars let out the cookies and cheese really flies off the shelves

I think China sells arms to Russia too.

I always wondered why Musk keeps taking X around to all the things and never any of his other kids.

I previously attributed it to getting good PR.

I now sees it's how he's going to "win" against Grimes.

Nothing that any sane, educated human would view as antisemitic. Anti-Netanyahu, sure. Anti war-crimes, yes. Pro hamas, no. Pro peace, yes

This is not an anti-jewish stance at all.

Did they stutter?

My bad. I think I watched a documenrary on it like 15 years ago.

Wikipedia says 1937 marijuana tax act effectively stopped hemp from being able to compete with heavy taxation and greatly reduced production. Thou it also attributes dupont and newspaper and timber magnate William Hearst and not cotton as the killer.

Then in 1969 the courts struck down the Marijuana Taxation Act, but then the Controlled substances act of 1970 banned it all at a federal level.

So yeas still shady AF, just not Cotton being shady. My bad
