    Make your robotaxi predictions for the 8/8 reveal

    I really do wonder if the RT hardware platform will ever really take off, or that will be abandoned a few years in. I agree that it seems more feasible that once they have a mass production lower-cost car ready they'll try to make robotaxis off of it as it's easier to guarantee the machine...

    Make your robotaxi predictions for the 8/8 reveal

    The problem with the RT self-driving is that there won't be extensive human driving with the same hardware to train it. The original goal, before Musk altered the deal, of making a new low cost platform for both human and robotic driving was the right one. Get manufacturing cheap, sell tons of...

    Make your robotaxi predictions for the 8/8 reveal

    They have some 3d normalization now into a shared space so they aren't all independent views, so its not as bad as you think, but new cameras will still require tuning.

    The CT production turned out to be very different underneath than the CT demo, because the demo couldn't be manufactured or pass crash.

    Make your robotaxi predictions for the 8/8 reveal

    Elon got rid of it because of parts shortage during pandemic and ordered his engineers to deal with it. The vision had NOT at all improved enough to make the radar obsolete, and that shouldn't be Elon's call anyway. Elon lied about it that it was for performance when it obvious to people...

    Review: Hankook iON evo AS vs Pirelli AS+ Elect vs Michelin PS 4S vs Michelin PS AS 4

    I don't believe that he employee is correct. The summer tire versions don't have a tread warranty but the AS versions do with a 50K including the AS SUV. I really wonder if there's some commission to push Michelin? If not the iON I would do Pirelli PZero Elect unless you really need the...

    Review: Hankook iON evo AS vs Pirelli AS+ Elect vs Michelin PS 4S vs Michelin PS AS 4

    Unfortunate to hear. There is an upcoming Electricdrive 2, I presume an updated model, as the existing model doesn't seem so great. https://www.goodyear.com/en_US/tires/electricdrive-2/24947.html...

    xAI grok: Chat LLM

    Elon saying something on a video is not a commitment given his history. He can make it a non-profit corporation and open source legally binding but did not---he raised money from VCs who want money back. When a youtube statement contradicts needs of powerful capitalists, which one wins? What...

    FSD 12.3 today - utter failure!

    The overall software version is v11.1, the FSD has its own numbering system and it is coincidental and unfortunate the numbers nearly coincide. https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2024.3.25/release-notes

    I suspect in China's case it means "you are not allowed to make or own your own maps, only what government approved vendors says is the map". USSR famously had intentionally deceptive maps for internal use.

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    playing armchair chemist...... if loss L ~ t^(1/2) then dL/dt = 1/2 t^(-1/2) = 1/2 * 1/L like the attraction of any free lithium to graphite is inversely proportional to thickness of already existing solidified film (1/L) between free lithium and the graphite.
