Tesla is literally well ahead of projections and rapidly expanding.

For a global look at things: https://www.pv-magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/04012_Global_grid-connected_energy_storage_installations_2sp-1.jpg

Tesla went from 0% to 37% of GLOBAL battery storage installs in 5 years. (lower bound estimate of 15% depending on what types of storage you include and installation timing)

And it is accelerating:

Probably cheaper. Most pizza places don't use dedicated delivery vehicles. The only saving here would be gas.

He said sedan not suv.

Another part I don't like is the idea that he's being selected as a gift. An ESA sacrifice.

If that's true, they selected a subpar astronaut and put the other crew at risk in a deadly situation for a PR boost. Not to mention it is disgustingly patronizing.

If it isn't true, then they are diminishing everything this guy ever achieves by making it seem like he got it because he's disabled. And all for a PR boost.

Becoming an astronaut will cost an arm and a leg.

You fundamentally don't understand the tech you're talking about.

Fear and surprise doesn't make faster reactions, it makes worse ones. Imagine sdcs are people driving where time is slowed down 100 fold. Their reaction speed is that much better. Reaction speed to a sudden object for a person is 750ms ... a sdc is maybe 20ms. It isn't close.

And yes, when snow covers lane markings, humans stop using them. They also drive to avoid deep snow and ploughed snow. This is very erratic behavior that needs to be learned. Vision isn't the issue. With some radar types and quality maps, a sdc could see like it was a clear summer day during whiteout conditions.... but other drivers would appear to have gone insane.

At this point, a waymo rep will show up in like 45seconds. They often tail their own vehicles.

But yes, you're required to stay. Imagine you're a passenger in a crash and the driver dies. Same rules apply.

This patch is averaging 126mi per disengage. Nowhere near Waymo at this point but they are making steady progress. And not really 'every few miles' anymore.

Overfitting if they tried to just release this software everywhere i guess. But they're not doing that.

Their strat seems to be to learn each location vs tesla which is trying to learn to drive generally.

The tech exists, we're just not sure about profitability.

Visibility is an issue but sdcs have superhuman reflexes and have no fear or surprise. Ice isn't an issue, they'll be far safer from loss of control than humans.

The biggest issue in snow is neither of those. It is that humans drive very differently in a way that'd be illegal typically and that's challenging for sdcs. Learning that where the lanes actually are matterless than where people are driving, etc.

Lol... you're concerned that humanity will cease due to child birth reductions? You think that we'll fall from 10 billion to 0 because of not enough babies?

Hahahahahhahahahaaaaa

Pop decline is only bad for the stock market. It is good for people and the environment.

Murrica fuck yeah!

In the US, Apple gets more leeway than Samsung because Apple is all American.

... the subject matter is india though

No one buys apple in india. But yes, apple would obviously lose a case on the same metrics.
