Another Tesla driver idiot...
Re: Another Tesla driver idiot...
The motorcycle issue is worse - if you're a cyclist. Autopilot sees the dual taillights on a bike as a car in the distance instead of a motorcycle directly ahead...

But you know, why use LIDAR when cameras are cheaper and just as reliable?

Also, Musk's mommy had to bail him out of a fight with Mark Fucking Zuckerberg. That's about as pathetic as things get.

Re: Another Tesla driver idiot...
Given that Ol' Smokey Elon is at the helm I have a low confidence level that these "improvements" will improve anything. After all he is busy killing Twitter(which seems like a good thing to me) and blowing stuff up in the sky which must be much more fun than some stupid car company.
What Tesla Autopilot does, why it's being recalled and how the company plans to fix it
THE RECALL
On Wednesday, the agency announced that Tesla had agreed to recall more than 2 million vehicles dating to 2012. The agency said Tesla's driver monitoring system is defective and “can lead to foreseeable misuse of the system.” Tesla disagreed with the conclusion but decided to do a software update to strengthen monitoring. The added controls include more prominent visual alerts, simplifying how Autosteer is turned on and off, and additional checks on whether Autosteer is being used outside of controlled access roads and when approaching traffic control devices. In some cases it could limit where the system can operate. Critics say detecting hands on the steering wheel isn't enough and that all Teslas should have cameras that monitor a driver's eyes.

Re: Another Tesla driver idiot...
Why not...
Tesla is under fire by California’s Department of Motor Vehicles over the company’s ads claiming its cars are completely self-driving, which they’re not. Elon Musk’s electric car company argues that its claims of being self-driving are protected under free speech, according to court documents made public by The Register Monday. At the same time, a lawsuit claims Elon Musk made potentially fraudulent claims during his acquisition of Twitter, which he hypes as a bastion of free speech.
Teslas are not fully autonomous vehicles yet, but the company allegedly advertised them as though they are. California’s DMV accused Tesla of fraud for saying its vehicles had “full self-driving capability,” among other false claims from the car company. Tesla published disclaimers saying current models “require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous” on its website. In court documents recently made public, Tesla is making the argument this court case should be thrown out altogether because its claims are protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution.

Truth.
My question is how are those Tesla owners going to catch up on their sleep if the "self driving" aspect of the cars are turned down to rational levels??
