5·8 days agoI’ve been wondering why Tesla (or others) doesn’t set up a system where drivers opt-in (no opt-in by default) to sending anonymized driving data to help train the model.
That’s exactly how they train the model, but every Tesla is opted in with, to my knowledge, no option to opt out.
I have seen some surprisingly uninformed users on the Internet, but you’re definitely up amongst the worst of them.
You know you’re on the Internet, right? You can use it to learn things instead of uncritically repeating whatever your favorite talking heads said.
He truly is an idiot. I wish he’d just step down from Tesla. The company has some great ideas, but instead of making them better, he’s making everything worse.
Edit: some of the newer cars are being reequipped with radar but it’s not being actively utilized because of idiocy.
I’ve also had mixed results. My 2018 Prius is flawless, not a single false brake in nearly seven years. We recently purchased a Tesla (I know, I know, long story) and we had to turn the braking sensitivity so far down that the feature is now basically useless.
It’s actually Steve Huffman, AKA “Spez”, and the website Reddit.com.
I do love that so many people on the internet know exactly who you’re talking about when you say “greedy little pig boy”.
Sorry, late night me brain forgot to provide the context for my comment! My concern would be occupational usage if it does produce any ozone, especially in the small business sector, which often doesn’t use as much caution around chemical exposure as one might want.
It might also be a non-issue. I have half a mind to build one of these and do some testing.
Chronic ozone exposure is a big deal.

Ozone reacts with various molecules in the lung to produce free radicals, highly reactive species of atoms/molecules that cause tissue damage.

On the bright side, you’re right about being able to smell it. The permissible exposure limit in the United States is 0.1 ppm (over eight hours) but the concentration most people can detect ranges from 0.01-0.05 ppm.
If you’re extra lucky, it’ll still be running on the original included demo toner cartridge.
I feel Musk is an experiment testing what would happen if you gave an Internet troll of middling intelligence billions of dollars.
I had the same thought. Most people I encounter online and in person are not great at summarizing information regardless of the context.
For example: those who don’t summarize the content of a conversation and instead poorly and inaccurately act out the entire encounter, "word by word ". Ughhhhh.
I recently rode in a Tesla on FSD for over 26 hours of freeway travel. It was flawless the entire time.
On city streets? 90% was about right. It once took too sharp of a turn at a double right turn and spooked the driver next to us (although it didn’t cross into their lane, just got close), and another time decided to only change lanes halfway into the left turn lane.
I agree that it needs to be near 100% on city streets before it’s ready for launch because that 10% difference is HUGE when it comes to safety. If their “level 5” taxi isn’t using some vastly improved software, it needs to be kept off the street.
That’s the “full self driving”. All the newer cars come with computers capable of doing it, but you either pay a $99/month subscription or a one time $8k charge.
I just checked out their website and apparently you can either transfer it to a new Tesla or leave it with the car and basically sell it to the new owner. Not what I expected at all.
Oh, that’s clever! Definitely bookmarking that for future reference.
I just bought a smart TV, updated the software, and disconnected it from the Internet, only allowing it access to our local Plex server. No ads and no stupid suggestions. It’s great.
It’s just greed and stupidity, plain and simple. Your points are spot on and are amongst the many reasons I suggest people in our field should avoid TSMC. I’d take a job at Intel over TSMC and that’s saying a lot
Boooo weekend work. Sorry to hear it but good luck escaping.
Holy hell there are some great deals on that website! Thanks for the rec, I wouldn’t have believed it was real if I just stumbled upon it.
