I was unaware that you were the world's foremost expert on autonomous driving and deep neural networks. You can name any hardware you think you might need and I can tell you why you don't.
Where does it say that's enabled in any current or past software? AP1 does not currently do onramp to offramp. It was proposed that it *might* be a feature in 8.0 but was later deemed not ready. Nowhere in the release notes does it say it currently has this feature.
Full self driving requires hardware that works in all weather. Cameras on the side and back of a vehicle, without wipers, simply don't. It's really as simple as that. They need something that can see behind the car, even in a light rain shower.
no, it doesn't say that it currently has that feature, Tesla said that it will have "within a few months" over 2 years ago. They haven't delivered on it, and there's no indication they plan to ever do so. That's why I said they lied. they promised something, but never delivered.
Supposedly that's what 8.1 is all about. We'll just have to see.
If you think they're going to remove the restriction, the one that they have INCREASED with every single update... yeah... right.
You mean keeping your hands on the wheel which the instructions say you should do from day one?!
If they promised that it would be "hands free" (which they did, repeatedly) then the restrictions, documented or not, are breaking that promise. If they could not deliver on what they promised, then they shouldn't have taken money in exchange for making said promise.
The "D" event formal presentation isn't the only place they communicated these features. They also used the Tesla website (many times modified since), many media interviews, and several demonstrations of the product.
I didn't even want to go there, people were asking what edge Lucid had, I replied with one. Others took it from there asking for details and spouting mis-truths.
If Elon hadn't specifially stated "without touching any controls" maybe, except those were his exact words. So having to touch the steering wheel means that he LIED I don't care how happy you are with it, I care whether it does what was promised, so far it doesn't do almost any of what was promised. it doesn't do hands free as promised, it doesn't come pick you up at your front door by checking your calendar as promised, it doesn't react to pedestrians, stop signs and traffic lights as promised, and it doesn't even avoid collisions as promised (only reduces the impact of an already unavoidable collision (per the manual)) Tesla made each and every one of these promises, they haven't fulfilled any of them.
And you need to take off your rose coloured glasses and quit lying to people to tell them that things that clearly were promised never were. There is documented evidence of each of these promises, revising history after the fact doesn't help anyone.
Here's an exact quote from the blog post:
That's actually not one I was quoting. But that's another outright lie if you want to add to the stack. At least that one was so obviously a lie that it's unlikely anyone spent money on it.
I gave you his exact wording which stated without touching any controls (which I would expect would include the steering wheel). If you decide to interpret that as holding the steering wheel at all times, I'm not sure how that's a reflection on my state of mind vs yours.
In other news I can ride a bike with no hands but it doesn't mean I should 100% of the time. Technically the car can perform without touching any controls once engaged and where appropriate. However, at the end of the day it is an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). As such, drivers must be reminded of their obligation to pay attention to the road. Forcing the user to touch the steering wheel is often an adequate method of making sure the driver is still alert. There are videos demonstrating that even resting your hands on the wheel is many times enough to be detected. This is a much better solution than having users hit a button on the touchscreen every 30 seconds confirming they are alert. If the car had hardware for eye tracking I'd personally consider that good enough too, but it doesn't so that's a moot point.
