Hexbear's premier community for the discussion of and questions about cars, motorcycles, and other low occupancy transit. Share your thoughts, discuss cars under communism, and ask questions about maintenance.
Anti-car posting is not permited. Train good car bad and all, but it's not what this comm is for.
Christ those patch notes are so annoying. You know Musk explicitly asked for the c++ code metric. Patch notes are pretty much by middle management for middle management. A bunch of dumb guys who went to a regionally ranked business school are jerking off in their Tesla over how many story points that must've taken.

They changed 300,000 lines?!
Sounds like a neural network is taking on some computer vision task that had C++ code before, but unclear what exactly. Possibly some image preprocessing portion got taken over by a few new layers in the neural network. But if that's the case god knows if that's an improvement.
Yeah, they got rid of all \ns and just did one line. SLoC is totally a useful metric.

I love how it's called full self-driving but it's also like "by the way it's not actually full self-driving your vehicle is not autonomous."
It’s because you have the punctuation wrong
Full Self. Driving?
"Full self dry, Ving?"
Having had the displeasure of driving behind one of the "FSD" bazinga mobiles I genuinely hate these things and can't recommend enough rolling down your window to yell as loudly at the bazinga driver as you can until he (it's always a he) turns it off and drives normal
You're interrupting the mobile goon cave session 
mobile goon cave
lmao
lol, I hope some of those millions of videos are the ones where the self-driving Teslas just absolutely steamroll some child mannequins and they had a tech working a 
on the vehicles...just not near the battery 
I saw a video of a Tesla catching fire inside someone’s garage during hurricane helene
I know it's there to prevent lawsuits but why would i want full self diving if i have to pay attention to the road
I wish it was frame shift drive instead and every Tesla just launched into space
I've driven cars with the supplemental safety stuff like auto braking, radar/lidar cruise, 360 cameras, lane departure features, etc. and I actually think they are great, maybe not for everyone and for every scenario but these can help and can reduce risks. This existing tech is like autocorrect since it can guide, alert and preempt the driver but not control per se, FSD feels like gen AI where it will drive through a truck or a median and accelerate wildly bc it cannot parse what it is seeing but it will confidently do something
Not all of it is great, Honda is currently being investigated by the NHTSA for it's collision mitigation system being dangerous.
Personally ours tried to kill us by panic breaking in a gentle left hand corner, with no cars ahead of us, from 40-0 with a fully loaded semi behind us. This is a 2021 MY.
Turns out if you floor it, it will override that but I didn't know, and also think that's a fucking horrible way to have to respond to a car malfunctioning. Have had the dealer check it out, it's working within their normal parameters.
I used to laugh at the dumb things it did, because I'm an idiot. It took nearly being killed to see those other events as frightening failures and not just quirks of a new technology.
Their offer to me on how to fix it... Just remember to turn it off every time.
Nah, don't think so. My partner drives it once in a while but not enough to remember every time, and my kiddo would be getting this soon when they start driving but I don't trust it enough to put them in it.
They also don't expose can signals at the OBD2 port, hiding it behind a can gateway so I'm tapping a module behind my mirror to see if I can find a way to confuse it permanently so it stops trying to kill us, or just turn it off entirely.

The point of it is liability, for the corporation. If the "autopilot" fucks up, the driver can be blamed.
It's like how "self checkout" is really there to make shoppers into unwitting free labor.
"Umm sweetie the FSD didn't fuck up it turbed off 0.1 seconds before the collision therefore it is the driver's fault for not reacting"
Frame Shift Drive charging
Friendship drive*
so true
Lamo it's grade 2 self driving
