The driver is in the drivers' seat and is driving, and is responsible for reducing the speeed to comply with speed limits - either by switching to the lowest speed profile ("Sloth"), or by disengaging FSD and manually slowing down.

This is probably Keychain, right?

Hopefully I never have to hear their annoying song ever again.

I want location permissions for web apps installed to the home screen to be separate from Safari.

I want to auto-deny websites asking me for location permissions. But I want to be able to grant location permissions to installed web apps on a case-by-case basis just like with regular apps.

I think this is OK. It allows for more long-term planning. 6 months will fly by.

Wasn't Jack Dorsey working on this as well?

Voice control is the safest, and Tesla's voice control is good.

It's OK to end a discount program, but not by threatening to delete everything with 7 days notice.

It's important to have your own website, so you can post updates there. Use Meta to let people know that there is an update on the site.

Apple still issues software updates for many years beyond the competition. I have a 9.7" iPad Pro from 2016 (mostly a youtube and music device now) and I received a security update today. That is dedication to long time customers.

The products have matured. Comparing to last year's product makes no sense because most people don't buy new products every year

A lot of people buying the 17 are coming from the 12 or earlier, and it is a significant upgrade.

I usually wait a couple weeks for the bugs to be worked out before installing.

That's not "seeing around corners", that's just sensor placement and can also be done with cameras. Tesla's side cameras on the front are in a similar location.

The bay area situation is different - they are waiting for California approval to not have someone in the drivers' seat. This is different from Texas. But you don't have to be an influencer or brand fan. Anyone can download the app, verify their location, get on a waitlist, and get off the waitlist sequential order.

That is basically their goal, which is why they opened their patents and their chargers.

Good. He's a criminal.

The article is referring to EV market share, which is a useless metric. The whole point of Tesla opening their patents and their chargers was to encourage more companies to make EV's, which would necessarily imply a drop in Tesla's EV market share.

The metric that I would like to see is Tesla's market share of the auto market in general (regardless of fuel type).

I like the new Model 3 and Model Y. It is unfortunate that they didn't do a facelift for the Model S and X. I know they've updated the motors and batteries and interior, but unless you look closely the Model X looks pretty much the same as it did in 2016.

No, because Tesla has a much higher baseline

Seeking Alpha (this author anyway) is also wrong. They don't have data, and there are tons of examples of Waymo making mistakes, hitting buses, etc.

None of this is independent reporting. They're reading the same social media posts and repackaging them into articles. None of these authors are based in Austin where robotaxi is.

> Why not shift liability?

Because being a passenger in a driverless vehicle is a much better user experience than being a driver. You can be on a zoom call, sleep, watch a movie or TV show or scroll TikTok, get some work done on your computer, wear a VR headset and be in a different world, etc etc. Tesla would make a lot more money, and could charge a lot more for FSD.

They aren't doing that yet because they aren't ready yet. It's why they still have humans in the robotaxi service.

There are no doubts in my mind that they will do it probably next year. The latest version of FSD on the new cars is very, very impressive.

Both Gizmodo and Electrek are wrong.

The difference is liability. If you're riding a Waymo, you are not at all liable for what the vehicle does. If there is a collision, you don't need to exchange your insurance info or name or anything else (regardless of who is at fault). You are not allowed to be in the drivers seat.

Tesla has chosen to not (yet) assume that liability, and leave that liability to the driver and requires a driver in the drivers seat. But someone in the drivers seat can override the steering wheel accidentally and cause a collision, so they likely will require the drivers seat to be empty to assume liability (or disable all controls, which is only possible on a steer by wire vehicle, and the only such vehicle in the world is Cybertruck).

Tesla has not asked for regulatory approval for level 4 or 5. When they do, it'll be interesting to see how governments react.

The article is wrong. What happened is that they added some highway-capable ridehail vehicles, and only those vehicles have the safety person in the drivers seat. Frederic (the author) lives in Canada, he doesn't have access to any recent version of FSD.

How does lidar see around corners?

I am curious what vehicle you're driving and whereabouts you're driving it.

This article makes no sense to me. They aren't changing the meaning of anything for consumers, it's only defining it for the purpose of the compensation milestone.

Everyone, not just you, should have a separate device for work.

Incompetence. Someone should be fired for this.

I think sideloading should be allowed only if you actually connect your phone to a computer. This barrier will prevent a lot of vulnerable people from being scammed.

Alternatively, sideloading could require you to delete all App Store apps. In other words, disabling Google Play Protect should require you to wipe your phone. This is another barrier that will prevent a lot of people from getting scammed.

This makes a lot of sense in the outer boroughs

How can this be fixed without breaking existing software? Re-ordering the list?
