Elon Musk Knocked Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ Off Course

I love the vehicle but the fact that they haven’t fixed this, addressed it, or acknowledged it further puts no faith for me in whatever they’re doing for FSD. They can spend as many years as they want figuring this out, but phantom braking is a problem for people who bought their cars and are using default features. And it’s super f#%^ing annoying.
A fix has been done and will be rolled out by the end of the year. (Tesla: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023)
I've done multiple trips across the country without the phantom braking.
I don't know how you could say this next to the rest of your comment.
How is a car that flat out doesn't work and is a public safety hazard worthy of being loved?
"Blowing through" stop signs was a rolling stop when it was a 4 way stop with all roads at 30MPH or less and no relevant moving cars are people or bikes. The rolling stop never was more than 6MPH, and often much lower (think 1-3MPH).
We have folks blow through stops signs where I live at 35 MPH when others are present, I've got dash cam of this. No action by cops. But teslas roll through at 0.5MPH, and it's end of world. The description by these "journalists" is wildly misleading.
What's weird, there are issues that drivers really really wish would get addressed because they are bad for quality of life and safety. Basic adaptive cruise control / autopilot / phantom braking stuff that seems worse not better from the mobileye days (??? - how is this possible).
Not sure what solution is. Having some kind of better radar, at least one lidar unit to ground truth the vision a bit more? Better mapping and navigation so it can cheat and for example avoid unprotected lefts a bit more?
I can't imagine how a meeting would go if an engineer has to explain to Musk that Full Self-Driving will take a long long time, way longer than it will take him to buy another company.
Elon's sabotage efforts go back to the original EyeQ3 autopilot system from Mobileye. Elon had his people hack the system and push it's capabilities beyond it's safe design constraints, which led to Mobileye terminating it's contract with Tesla, following the death of Joshua Brown.
If Tesla had simply played nice with Mobileye in the first place they would have saved themselves so much trouble.
I expect car sensors will grow in much the same way as sensors used in airliners, and that industry ensures _everything_ is redundant so one sensor failure domain can't compromise the entire vehicle.
Might want to not underline _everything_.
