Especially because perception, which I guessed would be the hardest part to solve due to lack of LIDAR, seems to be pretty good already, it's the planning that's bad.

- Elon and his team committed the purge over at Twitter (which made me re-think his leadership abilities and doubt the credibility of his vision-only approach),
- Andrej leaving (why would the head of Autonomy leave when they are supposedly on their way towards completely changing how we drive? Makes no sense to leave your life's work like that), and
- A non-engineer, non-Tesla owning friend of mine got a ride in a Waymo in San Francisco and described it as a smooth ride start to finish. (I cannot imagine FSD Beta being smooth in a city setting; it sure as hell isn't in Houston proper; and Waymo is completely driverless!)
Now I'm definitely going to try it again when FSD 11 drops, but I am a little scared of single-stack given how absolutely rock solid AP is.
Re. Andrej - looks like he might be coming back and his reason for leaving was based on his role being too managerial shrug https://electrek.co/2022/10/31/andrej-karpathy-coming-back-t....
