You can get a DrinkMate which can carbonate anything, no need to dilute. It has a built in pressure release, and is easily cleanable by design.

Don’t use a sodastream, it’s not meant for anything but water. It’d make a mess and be very hard to clean.

Citizens United was the final straw in the downfall of America democracy.

It’s been inevitable since.

Unless it’s overturned it’s over, and I don’t think they can overturn it.

All ridiculouness aside like him showing videos of him playing games, I was gonna be like, how do you suppose he sends emails or writes his posts on X?

But they counted his phone as something separate to a computer.

To start ya. It’ll eventually be all their models, we’ll… probably not the CT.

So the headline is pretty inaccurate.

There will be a person in the passenger seat. They aren’t a safety driver, or driver at all. They’ve been operating with an actual safety driver for around a year now for employees only.

We don’t really know what they’ll do, but I highly doubt it’s jump for the wheel if it’s about to do something. I think it’s going to be more of a, the car decides it can’t do anything and is just sitting there incorrectly and they won’t have to dispatch someone to fix it like Waymo does. This could be a legitimate saftey issue if the car is just stuck on the road.

Once they’re happy it’s not getting in situations like that they’ll remove the person and dispatch people as needed.

But we won’t know for a few more days when we get reports of what they’re doing while the first people test it.

The purpose built one coming in 2026 is a 2 seater. This launch is using the new Model Y’s

Next in line, I guess they can call it just “App”.

Saw this yesterday which is relevant

I’ve had recent problems with FedEx like this as well. Like 3 of the past 4 deliveries it says it’s going to deliver maybe a day early, then just fucking sits in the depo in the city ALL DAY while still saying it’s going to be delivered today, until it’s the end of the day and it switches to tomorrow.

Ah, i thought it was a hole in space or something like that, so the absence of anything, and even space was something, but not matter specifically.

It’s a matter replicator, I don’t think a black hole is matter?

I knew they wouldn’t necessarily investigate it, that’s always their discretion, but I had no idea there was no actual bite to the rule if they didn’t comply. That’s stupid.

AEB braking was originally designed to not prevent a crash, but to slow the car when a unavoidable crash was detected.

It’s since gotten better and can also prevent crashes now, but slowing the speed of the crash was the original important piece. It’s a lot easier to predict an unavoidable crash, than to detect a potential crash and stop in time.

Insurance companies offer a discount for having any type of AEB as even just slowing will reduce damages and their cost out of pocket.

Not all AEB systems are created equal though.

Maybe disengaging AP if an unavoidable crash is detected triggers the AEB system? Like maybe for AEB to take over which should always be running, AP has to be off?

Well it’s not that it was a crash caused by a level 2 system, but that they’ll investigate it.

So you can’t hide the crash by disengaging it just before.

Looks like it’s actually 30s seconds not 10s, or maybe it was 10s once upon a time and they changed it to 30?

The General Order requires that reporting entities file incident reports for crashes involving ADS-equipped vehicles that occur on publicly accessible roads in the United States and its territories. Crashes involving an ADS-equipped vehicle are reportable if the ADS was in use at any time within 30 seconds of the crash and the crash resulted in property damage or injury

Because the car actually does stop for things that aren’t fake walls made to look like a road, and at least for people as tested by testing agencies

This is the euro NCAP testing.

Note: not all of these cars have lidar, but some do.

Oops haha, 10 seconds.

That’s not really true.

He use lidar in SpaceX because he knows it’s the right tool for their specific job.

His stance is it’s not that cameras are better, but that cameras have to be so good for a truly AV that putting effort into both means you’re not going to make your cameras good enough to do it and rely on lidar instead. That and cost.

If the car can’t process and understand the world via cameras, it’s doomed to fail at a mass scale anyway.

It might be a wrong stance, but it’s not that lidar is flawed.

Tesla even uses lidar to ground truth their cameras

Edit: just adding a late example - Waymo, Cruise, and probably everyone out there still use humans to tell the car what to do if it gets stuck. I even bet Tesla will if they ever launch a robotaxi as they need a way to somehow help the car if it gets stuck. When we see these failures with Waymo and Cruise, it’s less “is something there” and more “I don’t understand this situation”. The understanding comes from vision. Lidar just gives the something is there, but it isn’t solving their problem.

Any crash within 10s of a disengagement counts as it being on so you can’t just do this.

Edit: added the time unit.

Edit2: it’s actually 30s not 10s. See below.

They get filtered out and the car will not act on it because there is so much noise from stationary objects all around you. The car essentially wouldn’t drive at all if it didn’t filter them out.

At high speeds, the radar in all cars is used to detect moving objects and the change in velocity of those objects.

Radar will not prevent running into this wall at 40mph.

People can downvote me all they want, but that doesn’t change anything.

Only vison and / or lidar would stop for that wall at 40mph.

Edit: aside from clarity on the above this is the expected outcomes

Radar in cars today: hit the wall

Vision: probably all hit the wall but could be sufficiently programmed to not if they trained on it.

Lidar: would not hit the wall.

Radar doesn’t detect stopped objects at high speed. It’d hit the wall too on radar alone.

This has to be solved by vision and or lidar.

It’s possible the shares were dissolved and some wholly new arrangement was made as a newly private company.
