I ended up in a situation where I got picked up by a cyber truck of all things, and the current state of self driving is better than I expected, but I still don’t trust it. It drove weirdly aggressively and lurchy, even doing frequent lane changes to get ahead, and while the car and people detection worked, the render on the screen was concerning because everything wiggles creepily and disappears and reappears.
Driving it manually seems like a terrible idea as well. No line of sight visibility at all behind and rear sides, way too much blind spot in the front.
10 years after promised completion and it only feels like starting the ‘getting there’ phase.
The visualization bugginess depends on model confidence thesholds, just because it isn’t rendered doesn’t mean it isn’t seen. I also wonder what aggression level it was set to.
Honestly, it’s not terrible these days for 90% of the driving, but it will absolutely kill you or someone else if you think for a moment it can drive completely unsupervised - that’s the real danger imo.
I didn’t know it had aggresion levels but it was probably fairly high. I’ve been in some powerful EVs that were still smooth.
The scary thing with the self driving is that it was stopping for people that I didn’t notice and even the human driver had to look at the screen to see it was a person out of view, so even with supervision if it missed something you might not be able to see it.
10 years post claim entering a getting there phase is good.
For plasma fusion it took like 40 years post promise to the getting there phase, as long as the getting there phase means private investors are willing to fund
Full self driving by 2016!!!

Watched a buddy’s Tesla categorize my car + trailer as a car, car + trailer, and then a semi and back again every few seconds. Both cars were parked…

The bigger issue, IMHO, was that this was promised as a finished product, not a research project or an investment.
