@DavidMoss father is one of the many people whose life will be dramatically improved with full autonomy that you can own. Independence is a beautiful thing. ❤️
Wow, this is huge. Tesla is introducing a new active safety feature called Automatic Collision Evasion.
We know Full Self-Driving is great at avoiding accidents, but that's only when it's on. This new feature, when enabled, will allow the vehicle to enable FSD itself when necessary to avoid a collision.
Now, instead of just applying Automatic Emergency Braking to stop the vehicle, the vehicle will be able to steer to avoid a crash as well. Great to see.
Interestingly, the accelerator pedal, brake pedal, and steering will be muted while the evasive maneuver is in progress.
Not a Tesla App reports that the feature will only be available to users who paid for FSD. Not sure if that's true, but if it is I would encourage Tesla to make it available to all Tesla owners if possible. Safety at Tesla always comes standard, not behind a paywall.
NEWS: The US Marshals Service has deputized members of Elon Musk's private security detail, giving them certain rights of federal law enforcement agents. They can now be armed with weapons in fed buildings & can use deadly force & be covered by the govt.
This is a great move.
I'm using Grok Bot to log into all my credit cards and Costco and Amazon to get detailed receipts and order history, then print it to pdf and upload it into a website I built with Grok that takes them and parses out all the individual items, categorizes them and updates my monthly expenses webpage. I understand my monthly expenses better than ever before. Loving it.
You often hear the thought that we are in a simulation, but never hear what the function of that simulation might be. Maybe the goal is effective governance. The more complex the species, the more competing goals arise, which makes governance more difficult. If humans figure it out, has the simulation been successful?
This is a fantastic article about @Tesla's FSD by The Detroit News:
"Determined to maintain their individual transportation independence, they are using Tesla’s hands-free FSD system as a driver assist. Though by no means exclusive to seniors in its ability to add another set of eyes to the road, FSD helps elderly drivers maintain a cocoon around their car as their confidence in reflexes and eyesight naturally deteriorate.
92-year-old Leonard Kraus uses Tesla FSD (Supervised) for 87% of his miles. He recommended Tesla FSD to his 95-year-old brother-in-law. “I don't think I would be driving without it.”
“It's as good a driver as I am,” said Dick Amacher, 78, a retired General Motors engineer from Rochester Hills who drives his Model Y and Model 3 on FSD 98% of the time. “Here's the thing, it will not go through a red light. It will not go through a stop sign. Every once in a while, I've driven through neighborhoods where stop signs were partially obscured by low hanging branches, for example. . . and (the Tesla) sees them before I do.”
Driving into Detroit, FSD exited the expressway near Wayne State. “All of a sudden the Tesla pulls over to the curb. I'm like: ‘what is going on?’” said the 78-year old. “Turns out there was an emergency vehicle coming from behind. FSD saw that it was an emergency vehicle before I did. It has vision in every direction simultaneously. A human being cannot replicate that.”
