My Drive this morning. In FSD, normal mode. Looks like the guy just pulled up next to me on the right just to flip me off. I don’t understand people.

I searched for the interviews/podcasts in which these quotes were extrapolated, and alas, I couldn't find them. Let me know if you can; because Jalopnik isn't a resource I would be comfortable using in any conversation where the unfiltered truth is supposed to be given. They have been caught lying about Tesla in the past.

What's your solution? Enshrine a new law that doesn't allow CEOs to talk about lofty goals?

My solution has been don't believe Elon when he's talking about autonomous driving and don't pretend he knows what he's talking about since he clearly doesn't.

From Autoweek in 2016:

"I feel pretty good about this goal," Musk said in a press call earlier this fall. "We'll be able to do a demonstration guide of full autonomy all the way from LA to New York. So basically from home in LA to Times Square in New York. And then have the car go and park itself by the end of next year."

Wikipedia includes an article documenting the "List of predictions for autonomous Tesla vehicles by Elon Musk". It currently lists 23 specific predictions made since 2013, with quotations, references, and outcomes.

Scorecard to date:
- 2 predictions met (at least partially)
- 19 predictions not met
- 2 (recent) predictions still to be determined

The Wikipedia list includes this specific prediction, which was made in October 2016. It is rated as "Met: No".

Again, I think a lot of people jump to extreme conclusions and ignore that he makes qualifying statements to include "maybe, I think, perhaps". I have seen him make definitive statements before for sure, and he later went back and said something to the effect of: "yeah, I was being a bit too enthusiastic about that". Maybe you just have a chip on your shoulder about this topic for some reason, sice calling him a serial liar is a stretch. What his teams have accomplished so far is nothing short of astonishing.

And yet - you're a true believer.
? you don't know what I believe.

There's a recent video of a Tesla self driving into a Wylie Coyote Wall. If you believe LiDar wouldn't have prevented that - you're just not living in the real world.
Whenever I come across A.C.M.E. traps in the road set by cartoon characters, I'll just have to accept my fate with camera based FSD.

Even the "bullet proof" claim about Cybertrucks is complete hokum.
Yet, the doors are factually able to stop 9mm parabellum. Are you not aware of this?

Cameras operate on a spectrum of light - low visibility is just that. It's just disingenuous to believe that cameras alone can solve a super complex visual mapping problem.

Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice - don't get fooled again - G.W. Bush.
The fact is that FSD is already operating wonderfully on cameras alone. You know lidar also can't do? Se in infrared or thermal.

I wrote a pretty good explanation of why lidar isn't in the FSD stack and all you can clap back with is petty insults ?‍♂. Don't you want to reply to any of the technical explanations I gave? I spent quite a bit of time hashing all of that out for ya.

ok, sue him then if you are so confident about it. Pretty sure in court the full context will be read back and you will hear stuff like "we hope, we think, maybe, possibly". At least one of the "quotes" provided here already was stripped from its context to try and make him out as a liar, so there's that.

My solution has been don't believe Elon when he's talking about autonomous driving and don't pretend he knows what he's talking about since he clearly doesn't.
Until further notice; I'll give the multidisciplinary genius billionaire a shot at keeping on doing what's he's doing.

^ you think this is an example of a promise made to the public?

Yep. He's failing so hard that people are utterly astonished at the current abilities of FSD. You guys are ripping on the CEO of a company that has helped make something possible that we have only been dreaming of since the invention of the automobile.

Absolutely diabolical behavior lmao
