I think Tesla might say the removal of the redlines indicates they are more advanced. Rather than display a warning, the car just takes care of that for you. AI makes the decisions about what action to do next, then calls a subroutine to perform the action. It would be trivial for the first...

CT should just use "the force" to pull itself out.

https://jalopnik.com/self-driving-trucks-could-be-on-texas-highways-by-2023-1849089082 If I share the road with an autonomous truck that someone else put there, is it still my decision because I knowingly chose to manually drive where they do so autonomously? Do I really have a choice other...

Deep pockets can only accelerate development so fast. There are hard limits like the number of people and equipment which can physically occupy a space at one time. Mining, refining, transportation of raw materials, production of finished batteries have to be done serially, in that order and...

I cannot agree with electrocution, for several reasons. For one, all technology breaks sometimes. Would you like to be electrocuted because you got a facelift? Or a black eye? Or a cat scratch on your face? The risk of biometric security increasing kidnappings or maimings could materialize...

Is it possible to integrate "underside peekaboo view cams" into the vehicle control system? Adding new views to PUREvision likely requires an extensive reworking of the entire navigation stack. It is a very big job compared to just piping steering brake and throttle values into the existing...

Shhh. Don't say that too loud. There aren't enough batteries to go around if the defense production act takes all they like off the top. Let Tesla continue to be "snubbed" by the administration and let only those automakers that were bailed out by the government divert their production to the...

Make the vault cover, tailgate, midgate, and ramp all out the vault cover sections. Part of the track for these runs under the vehicle so these same sections can serve as an underbody tank track to pull you off of obstacles if you become high centered.

I gave it the same amount of research as finding fish and detecting cancer. Just a vague notion that it might be possible... somehow. Roaming is enabled. You can haul it place to place while off, set it up and use it if there is capacity in that area. It has been shown to work in motion...

That is an interesting thought. Lets assume a super duper ultra wideband 60GHz+ 3D phased array SDR transceiver in the frunk. How many different uses (and wild unrelated tangents) can we imagine for that? Melt driveway ice (microwave radiation?). Detect empty spaces in parking structure from...

How do I make the clock on my cybertruck flash 12:00?

In 2012 I saw a similar demonstration at an IEEE symposium in Daytona FL using low power phased array radar and convolutional neural networks that could reliably range and differentiate between humans, foliage, and animals of various sizes including deer, moose, bear, skunk behind all manner of...

There have been about a dozen times in 3 decades of driving, at highway speed my forward visibility suddenly reduced to the point I could no longer see my hood ornament due to weather. It is extremely dangerous and frightening due to the ambiguity of the situation. You simply cannot know...

I am not suggesting that scriptability would be, or should be used by the masses. I am suggesting that a small number of very dedicated Tesla enthusiasts can contribute value to the brand by independently developing new use cases for CT by way of the scripting API. It is akin to factory...

JBee, I'm trying to understand the system you describe because it would make my projects easier if true. Is this something that already exists, or theory? Can you steer me toward some reference material? Its like the movie A Beautiful Mind where in the bar, John Nash says Smith needs...

Yes! But why get out? Launch a drone from the vault to take a peek while you watch the screen in comfort.

On a 12 state motorcycle tour regularly exceeding the speed limit by a wide margin, only tickets I got were at a very well used speed trap in Utah, and upon reentering Minnesota, my home at the time. I chalked it up to Utah having Nevada envy around the Silver State Open.

I don't understand the system you are describing. "match wheel speed to ground speed" means no differential turning, no spinning wheels. Torque vectoring is not a simple calculation. It takes in to account body roll, heave, acceleration weight transfer, wheels without effective traction, and...

Have you driven offroad by independently and finely controlling 4 independent wheel velocities and steering angles? Some wheels forward, some reverse, and 4 independent steering angles? (if we are lucky) A few people in the world have done that in full size vehicles. Maybe you are one of...

Same answer to all three. Unfortunate for those involved. Funny to everyone watching from the sidelines. I'm just contemplating what would happen if the worlds most famous electric car company released an electric truck unable to support a standard 12v electric winch, but offered an expensive...
