Comment It will flop (Score 2) 26

City people are stupid and will get stuff like this banned. They should have done drone delivery first to rural areas, where it's actually needed. After that they can expand to small towns, medium and then big city. Deploying this city-first will flop. City people don't want new technology, not unless it's marketed with some fear like delivery drivers eat your food or something like that.

I agree, but on top of that the self-driving cars could have a button that passengers can press if they feel threatened. Then, upon using its cameras and AI the car can proceed to secure their safety in the safest possible manner even if it means harming the attackers. I believe Asimov covered this in his laws of robotics. The Waymo should never harm other humans except when required in defense of its passengers.

Unlike reusable rockets, EVs, and full self driving .. all of which he achieved. Yes that includes full self driving, I own a Model Y with FSD and it works great for at least a year now (since v13 and recently v14). Letâ(TM)s not forget how quickly they built the xAI data center and automobile Gigafactories in Nevada, Texas, and Berlin. Semiconductor fabs are known technology. He just has to hire ex TSMC, Samsung, Intel, and ASML employees and heâ(TM)s set. There isnâ(TM)t anything new to invent or hope isnâ(TM)t impossible to do. The processes are well known and documented. He just has to plonk down a bunch of cash for an ASML machine. Oh and btw the companies I mentioned laid off a bunch of workers recently so itâ(TM)s not like he wonâ(TM)t be able to find people. And I am sure with a large enough check many people would cross over. So please, letâ(TM)s not hear any BS about âoeElon has no experience building a fab.â He had no experience building rocket engines, his first employee Tom Mueller did. He didnâ(TM)t have experience designing cars .. that Franz Hof-something dude did. And unlike back then, when he couldnâ(TM)t even write them a fat check, he has a lot more resources at his disposal. He just has to ask around who the top guys in the business are.

After you read this comment, watch this video by Tesla's head of AI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

How does a human who wasn't born in that area deal with those rural driving scenarios you mentioned? And besides, you don't think Tesla has potholes and hilly roads in their training data for its AI to build an accurate policy model? My understanding of how they train it is they have all the video from wherever Teslas are being driven (accumulated over 7.5 billion, that's Billion with a B, miles as of sometime last year). They take all that video and create a world simulation out of it. Then they inject adversarial scenarios into the simulation. The adversarial-injection scenarios themselves are things people have encountered while driving, not just only ones you can speculate. So in the simulation the Tesla will be cruising along on each of those 7.5 billion miles and suddenly a cat will run across the highway, a car swerves, or a UFO or strange shape object lands in front of it, and it may start raining. Or the camera will suffer an occlusion, the lane lines disappear etc. They basically build a giant GTA V game simulation with many plausible and even implausible scenario happening on every mile of road. Once the neural nets prove they have a policy model that can choose correct next-actions in all those random scenarios in a manner that is at least better-than-humanly-handleable, then it is released. That's why it takes months of supercomputing power to train each FSD release.

It is fully capable of that, my experience with it convinces me the barrier is purely legislative that makes us sit in the driver seat and observe/supervise while it drives. That's what YOU guys don't get! How do I know it's fully capable of that? I know because it has been THOUSANDS of miles mileage much of it within city street traffic already park to park with NO intervention! I sit in the car, say "navigate to buttfuck-egypt" and then I press Start Self Driving. It will go to buttfuck-egypt and find a parking spot there and park with no intervention from me whatsoever .. during which I never press the brake, accelerator, or use the steering wheel even once. And it's done that to any destination I enter flawlessly. I haven't had to drive my car more than a few feet in a long time. I'll be fucking transparent and not disingenuous like you. Places where I had to do a little driving are like in drive thru fast food because I don't know how to specify to the car that I want it to go through the drive thru (I dont go often enough to want to google it). It tries to park at the McDonalds so when it does that I have to intervene and aim it at the drive through entrance -- like literally brake, show the car the drive thru entrance, and click Start Self Driving. I know you jerks will point at things like that and say "omg you had to intervene" .. uh no ... that was because of an edge case in the destination specifying, not the FSD. When they fix that, you straw grabbers will say it's not FSD because it doesn't know what temperature I wanted the AC to be at.

Anyway fucking try it once. That's all I ask.
