Ah, I can see how that may have come across like that. My bad.

Back doors is a whole other story.
Thats what this means. The back seats are hit and miss depending on the vehicle.

It used to not lower the window and could damage the window.
Shortly after the 3 was released it was changed. When there is power it lowers the window now.
But if there is no power, it can’t lower the window and it may break.

The front handles aren’t hidden. They’re so obvious everyone I take in my car tries to use them first if I don’t tell them.
Back doors is a whole other story.

I don’t really have much more to add, but just wanted to say I appreciate the conversation we had.
- Comment on Elon Musk May Have Made a Huge Mistake on Full Self-Driving That It's Too Late to Correct. 4 weeks ago:
even if you CAN rely solely on vision, why hamstring yourself?
Their stance is that by using lidar OEMs are hamstringing themselves on solving vision because they are so reliant on it. They spend less time and resources perfecting vision so they never truly solve the problem. From their perspective you got it backwards.
and there’s no good reason… just add extra sensors
The more sensors you deal with, the more your attention gets divided. You aren’t laser focused on one thing.
The extra sensors also cost a lot of money, you can’t put waymo’s sensor package onto millions of cars that consumers can buy when the suite is 10s of thousands of dollars (and originally well over 100k).
By focusing on vision where the system can be put onto millions of cars, you can get massive amounts of extra training data and training data is going to be a huge part of solving this problem.
You might not like the reasons, or their stance, but it’s not such an unreasonable position to take. Mobile Eye even cancelled their next gen lidar project after seeing improvements in vision and radar. What happens when they keep seeing improvements in vision and now radar isn’t needed?
I don’t know if you’ve ever used AP but all the crazy headlines you see about it are idiots in cars being idiots. As a L2 vision only system it works very well.
If you wanna blame Elon for convincing people to be idiots, sure, you can do that, but that has nothing to do with the actual approach they are taking.

The point is that to be truly autonomous when vision is the only fail safe reliable sensor, then vision MUST work to have a truly autonomous vehicle.
You can’t rely on radar without vision or lidar because it can’t see stopped vehicles at high speed.
You can’t rely on lidar in rain/fog/snow/dust because the light bounces off of the particles and gives bad data, plus it can’t tell youanything about what the object is or might intend to do, only that it’s there.
Only vision can do all of those, it’s just a matter of number of cameras, camera quality, and AI processing capabilities.
If vision can do all those things perfectly, maybe you don’t need those other sensors after all?

Except the radar doesn’t know where every object is. It can’t detect stopped things while traveling at high speeds.

Nothing yoy said there can’t be done by cameras other than sound and the car has a microphone inside.
All it really means is maybe the car needs more cameras and more microphones.
Determining distance with images from multiple angles can provide accurate distances.

Of course they did, everyone had cellphones in 1934 already.
Congress wasn’t stupid and made sure to mention unlocking cellphones 90 years ago.
- Comment on How do you know if you can win in texas hold'em? 1 year ago:
Of course you can. It’s called context.
The user didn’t know how to read his hand so I was explaining with an example of his hand, how to read his hand.
While you’re technically correct given how I worded it, you could absolutely know what I mean.
I’d even say adding that correction is fair as I did, but to claim you couldn’t know I’d strongly disagree on.

I meant their hand, but true

You make your best hand out of your 2 cards and the up to 5 cards on the table.
So if you have 2 aces and there’s 1 ace and 2 king on the flop, the best hand is a full house. 3 ace and 2 king.
If the next card is a ace, it’s now 4 aces.
