    They said it was the latest software but did not say whether the hardware was the latest. I wonder if it had HW 4, higher resolution cameras or the front bumper camera

      Since they’ve gotten rid of LIDAR, there has been nothing but trouble. Such a monumentally stupid decision to try to brute force things the software route.

        They never had LIDAR, only a few companies do (like Waymo). Teslas used to have RADAR but even that was removed.

        No one has full self-driving yet, but it does have potential to change the world if anyone does succeed. I’m interested in all developments toward that, regardless of Nazi ceos

          You know what will change the world?

          When governments finally give bicycles a chance, like in the Netherlands. THAT solves a multitude of issues, saves incredible amounts of money for both governments and citizens alike, and will lower the car death toll by a vast majority.

          Oh, and it also lowers pollution (yes, EVs still pollute) by factors and saves tonnes of energy as hauling two tonnes of steel to buy a bottle of milk is just insanity

          That ignores the full self driving for a second, which still doesn’t exist anywhere and won’t come into existence for another good decade at least (We’re FAR away from that) but that will be the real revolution

            Sure but that’s even further away, at least in the us. We’ve had 80 years of our biggest growth planning cities around cars and fixing that is going to take a generation or more.

            We’re starting. There’s been steady migration to cities over the last couple decades. More places are paying attention to walkability, transit oriented growth. Bicycle infrastructure is starting to be built out.

            I live in one of the places that’s been making decent progress, although my bad knees, people’s bad driving, and the area’s bad weather make cycling the least attractive transportation. But all the same design principles also encourage walkability and transit.
