By the way, cool car.......

Thanks Pace... I love that car.
I rescued it from a field in Illinois in 2000.

I was strapped to an eeg sock for 7 days during which I had several seizures. Left frontal lobe was the source of the electrical misfire. They gave it some technical longass name that is written down somewhere hidden on my drawing table. Nationally recognized neurological group here at U of K and im lucky for this.
I hear you and actually agree with some of your theory, however, with eeg recorded seizures giving us a much clearer understanding diagnosis was solid.
Lamictal has been highly successful in control.
Even if you don’t think so, I value your input.
So find somebody who wants a kidney so I can get a CT!

I think it could react. There is already teck that can tell when you are not paying attention. So I would not see this being so dificult to do. It could either take over or take over and park on the side of the road. Even call 911 or call/text a loved one

YES... this is how I see it theoretically happening. I really do see autonomy solving problems like mine in the very near future.
Am I correct that Tesla is miles/ years ahead of others with this?

If you have EEG confirmation that clearly firms up the diagnosis. And a good neurology team. So..........there is always the possibility of a breakthrough seizure, even on medications, but presumably less likely with time, and medical compliance. Anyone could potentially have a medical event while driving, particularly those no longer young or with other predisposing medical conditions. How likely that is and how much that worries you is an individual question. Could Tesla software assist if such an event occurred and was brief? Maybe, maybe not, it depends. Certainly not something you could count on.........

WPAFB is a couple of hours away from me and I go at least once a year. I’m a huge fan.
Even though I like the P38 a-lot, im a heavy bird man. B17 ,24 ,and 25. Now that is a plane.
That H-52 is beautiful and also a good size. I expect a ride!
As far as the scalloping on the Mercury, thanks for the compliment. I worked on it last winter, mainly to spend time with my car
Some sort of fascination with huge machines that burn fuel at a ridiculous rates. Hence the Mercury and love of planes. I got it bad I guess.
Funny thing to me is that I’m on an electric vehicle forum talking about the opposite.
We are all here talking about vehicles so I’m not the only weirdo!

We all have a gas fuelled past. I have a 1995 Jeep YJ that I love to get out with. The CT will not stop me from going out in the YJ as often as I can. I love going to car shows and I do not see the CT or electric vehicles of the future changing the love of classic cars. I do see a huge market coming for the conversion of classics to EVs, but not everyone is going to change their gas guzzlers to EVs because of the fun of a classic car. I hope you still get to take your car out to shows to share it with others.

My question was how autonomous would react

Tesla's current technology (remember that the system is beta) demands a slight torque on the steering wheel. If that torque is removed for some period of time visual warnings start to appear on the display in front of you followed by chimes of increasing frequency. If the torque remains undetected auto pilot turns off. If steering inputs are not detected beyond that point the vehicles slows to a stop.

If you apply stronger torque to the steering wheel or provide any normal strength input to one of the pedals autosteer will shut off.

Thanks for getting information and some answers to my initial question. I appreciate.

Interesting observation.
Started in an early 50s scallop style and morphed as I went along. Symmetry was the only thing l Enforced.
What your seeing is only 1/2 way in the process, meaning your seeing only half of the final number of layers.
At this stage I can see where you are going with the native american. It’s funny because im so focused on the next layer that I didn’t even see it.
You can see a template and pencil/ eraser action on the hood just for a basic layout. All was measured, centered, and symmetry was king. Ninja auto body tape skills and some rattle cans.
Game on!
Let’s get some aircraft on the schedule next. I’m down.

This is one in a series of 6 bikes I made in 2004. Awesome to ride and head turners. You definitely don’t go unnoticed.
I included the article so you could see im not just talking trash.. so yes that’s my dumbass in the pic. What a goon!

This is all your fault You got me started talking about art.

To me you have Micheailitis. A dear friend of mine 20 yrs ago took a photo of a spider with his brand new $400 elph digital camera while we were airboating in the florida swamps. I had never thought much about digital cameras, them being not as good as regular cameras, and expensive as hell.
When he showed me the image (I typed "photo" and deleted it.) I was amazed at every "photographic" aspect of it. I looked straight at him and said, Mike, that little camera really took that "photo"? If it did and you aren't pranking me, I am telling you that digital cameras are going to replace normal film cameras.
He countered with five minutes of how Blah blah blah blah.
Mike had just built a house back then. The sumbitch was rich to me. He had a bonus room on the second floor that was built to be a professional photography center...
In less than ten years he sold all his equipment for pennies on the dollar, and we play pool in his "Bonus room" now.
And you got michaelitis. Look Edmund's and automotive trend are writing about teslas like Popular Photography wrote about the Elph 20 yrs ago.
