Most of the Sheetz locations never appeared as Coming Soon on the findus map, so nothing strange there. I think it's a case of which sites were initiated by Tesla versus other third parties, and Sheetz has been prolific in adding sites at their request, many of which just popped up out of nowhere.

I guess I am saying that it would be unprecedented to have Sheetz branding specifically. I'm aware of the BP Pulse, and I do suspect others may follow, but if there is some deal to provide Sheetz branding, I can't imagine any reason it would be kept secret, so it would be really surprising if...

Sheetz branded cabinets certainly would be interesting, but also unprecedented (of course this arrangement at a Sheetz is also unprecedented). I doubt that is the case though (although we shall see soon). I haven't been paying close attention the the Supercharger labels/stickers, but it is...

I can't confirm those exact stages that you talk about, but I think Sentry mode is always recording, it just overwrites footage unless #2 or #3 happens, so stage #1 as you describe doesn't really exist. This is why when you get a Sentry mode event you have several minutes of the preceding...

I think I could trust EVgo's live status. I'm not so sure about Blink. I want to, but with quite a few of their stations, they are mislabeled, in the wrong location, etc., wrong power listed, so I'm not quite at that point with Blink. EV Connect also seems fairly reliable with their live...

Have you been having to use your key card? When you unlock the doors with the key card (as opposed to the phone), the walk away lock function is disabled and you must lock the doors with the key card (or the app).

Why not just ask them?

Mostly agree, but there is at least one notable exception: ChargePoint, which you can retrieve actual usage information from the app/site: Unlike Plugshare where users may or may not check in a success or failure, ChargePoint does give you actual usage information which would give you a warm...

I'm just talking about one thing: robotaxis. Regarding FSDS, however, I also don't think FSDS should route around school zones, but rather the supervisor should simply disengage when entering an active school zone, the same as any other non-standard situation: construction zone, parking lot...

Possibly, but personally I would not trust the Tesla map for L2 charging anyway. When I am researching L2 charging, I rely on Plugshare entries/reviews. The Tesla map offers no such warm fuzzie from other users.

I think we are more or less in agreement, although I'm not saying we structure our ethics around laws, but rather that a non-sentient robotaxi is going to follow the law to the letter, lest the supplier be held liable. So if there is an ethical concerns, they should be codified into the law...

I rarely give a thumbs down, and it's nothing personal, but the "disagree" is because it's sometimes not possible. Consider the previous post where the poster's road exits into a school zone. You can't avoid that. And I can think of at least one case in an area I used to live in where...

Let me ask you this then...suppose there is a hypothetical situation: an AV is driving down a street with an vehicle in the oncoming lane. At the last second, a kid jumps out in front of the AV without enough time to stop, but possibly the AV could swerve into the oncoming vehicle in order to...

That is all true. However, I do think we can extrapolate the trolley problem to a more realistic real-world problem statement as it would apply to an autonomous vehicle (acknowledging that this is NOT the formal trolley problem). The scenario would be a situation where a collision is imminent...

Well, it's a whole 5 miles to the Four Seasons resort from the airport...that only gives you about 30 round trips a day!
