infernal machines posted:what's so surprising about that? their sensor suite is a pencil beam radar and a bunch of webcams. the radar evidently shits itself if there are spurious reflections (e.g. anything overhead) and the vision suite can't reliably tell a 13-ton vehicle from open road in anything other than optimal lighting at low speeds. then since they know the autopilot can't deal with it they should flag the overpass as "autopilot should warn the user upon approach and stop the car if the user hasn't taken over" but well "safety third"

there were a non zero amount of people in that thread who were saying that they didn't see the truck in the video either, that it was in shade and also wasn't a REAL semi trailer cause it was a flat bed and also and also and a non zero amount of some people independently suggesting things like "well the truck crossed a solid white line, which might be illegal, so maybe the autopilot didn't expect it?" someone in there was doing good work though just hammering on the "if thing is in front of car and there will be a crash, car must stop" point though. airbags style: event happen, don't leave to some bullshit machine learning excuse to make final devision (and in case of murder death by autopilot, at least they can help train the model in the future for the betterment of all humanity) the muskets don't like it

also the truck maybe didn't keep its blinker on long enough so that'd also be against the rules of the road so its understandable that the car was ready to decapitate its passengers vs like i dunno reacting to whats a constant struggle for survival full of unknowns, e.g. driving beep boop if not in DMV manual goto the rear end of large vehicle ahead while accelerating

Bless me r/teslamotors, for I have sinned. It has been 3 days since my last confession. today i was angry that the road noise is pretty bad. also using the touch screen for everything sucks. your penance will be 3 "i love the cars" and 2 "the car accelerates quicks". I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Elon, and of Spacex, and IFuckingLoveScience.

infernal machines posted:- If you're stuck troubleshooting your own car when it's in a severely uncooperative state, disconnect the 12v battery in the frunk and connect a charge cable to cause the car to freak out and power down. Reconnect the 12v battery and it'll boot up. This might break your car. I don't actually know for sure. Didn't seem to break mine. tesla koan: if you're stuck troubleshooting your car on the path, break it

it fucks me off when muskovites get all like "oh but elon's trying to save the world; that's his only motivation for making electric cars" you wanna save the world with electric cars? make them in two sizes: "scooter" and "city bus". not this wannabe luxury car crap for rich people to buy and flaunt around like they're fuckin david suzuki all of a sudden, as if their conspicuous consumption wasn't always the problem like,, do they really envision a world where everyone who currently drives a regular car drives a tesla instead? do they not see how that just isn't going to work?

they also sell their pollution tax credits they get for all this EV making to other automakers so they can churn out even more co2 spewing cars so you know maybe they wouldn't be doing that if it wasn't all just greenwashing

correction: tried to feed it gas and ended up battling the ecu for access to the gas cap, resulting in forcing the engine to shut down and reset by causing a major fault that could have destroyed the car

And in the case that you managed to fry the battery, 74,99€ for a new one. i somehow doubt the price range the tesla user was scared of, or amount of labour he invested is matching that
