The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see.

Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time.

To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.

Much appreciated, @US_FDA!

If someone tells you Mercedes "Level 3" DrivePilot is more advanced than Tesla FSD, they are either clueless or lying to you.

Mercedes DrivePilot:

1. Only works on certain models of the top end S class and EQS with special hardware. So only some versions of their most expensive car support it, or almost no cars. By contrast any Tesla built since October 2016 can run FSD.

2. Only works on pre-mapped highways in California or Nevada. By contrast Tesla FSD works on any road, highway or city streets across North America (and soon, Europe and China)

3. You must be in a traffic jam on the highway traveling under 40 miles per hour. By contrast FSD allows you to go up to 85 miles per hour.

4. You must have a vehicle right in front of you to follow, if they pull too far ahead you will be asked to take over. By contrast FSD does not require a lead vehicle.

5. You must have clear lane markings — if they are faded you will be asked to take over. By contrast FSD works without any lane markings.

6. Only works in good weather — if it's rainy, foggy, sun shining directly at car, etc you will be asked to take over. By contrast FSD works in a wide range of inclement weather conditions (but of course has limits too)

7. Only works in the daytime. Does not turn on at night. By contrast FSD works 24 hours a day.

8. You have to click ok to accept the first time you turn it on per drive. By contrast FSD just turns on without requiring you to click ok

9. DrivePilot still has a driver monitoring system that will beep at you / ask you to take over if you do anything that is not allowed (like leaning too far back)

10. You may be asked to take over at any moment for any reason and need to be ready to do so within 10 seconds.

11. If you don't take control, the vehicle will come to a dead stop in the middle of the highway

12. DrivePilot cannot handle interchanges or change lanes. By contrast FSD can handle lane changes and interchanges completely automatically. Mercedes can do lane changes in Level 2 mode, but in Level 3 mode you need to do them yourself. You will always need to pay attention to make sure you don't miss the exit

13. "Don't think of it as a fully automated do everything for you sytem. It's more like Level 2 enhanced, but enhanced in a really impressive way"

14. Relies on HD mapping to function. Mercedes needs to build and maintain these maps or the system will not work. The system does not work anywhere the maps don't go, such as city streets.

15. System is so reliant on maps to tell the car where to drive that they have to account for things like continental drift

16. When the system asks you to take over, you're sent back into manual driving mode — all lane keeping is turned off

17. Once it goes out of its operating conditions, you are liable again. So, for example, if someone changes lanes and there's no longer a lead car in front of you the system suddenly turns off, stops in the middle of the highway, and you're liable again "so it's always good to pay attention, even when these systems are on" (so what is the benefit exactly?)

18. Because mapping is so expensive to maintain, it costs $2,500 a year. By contrast FSD costs only $1,200 a year. It does so much more for less than half the price, and works on any Tesla.

19. No way to retrofit DrivePilot onto a car that doesn't have the LIDAR etc

20. "I came away from my time with DrivePilot a bit mystified. It's clear that developing this system was a complicated endeavor, with all the added sensors and complexity and while it was on I have to say it worked pretty flawlessly. But with the operating conditions being so narrow, I couldn't shake the thought of 'is this all worth it?' from my head. Even trying to film this video was difficult, as the vehicle would hand control back just as we were getting going especially with that low 40 mph speed threshold. And if I were paying $2,500 a year to use this system and it wouldn't stay on, I would find that pretty frustrating"

It is crazy and sad that people are being so misinformed about important safety technologies that could save or change their lives. If anyone tells you this system is more advanced than anything else out there, they are either a moron or a liar.

If you actually read the entire court case you come across some points that encapsulate who Elon really is

After receiving a proposal from Tesla's general counsel and in-house attorney for the compensation plan, Elon responded saying: "That is more than intended. Let's go with 10% of the current FDS (fully diluted shares), so 20.915M"

This was over 8M shares less than a prior proposal. When asked about this Elon said it "was, I guess, me negotiating against myself"

Elon sent another email to Tesla's general counsel:

"Given that this will all go to causes that at least aspirationally maximize the probability of a good future for humanity, plus all Tesla shareholders will be super happy, I think this will be received well. It should come across as an ultra bullish view of the future, given that this comp package is worth nothing if 'all' I do is almost double Tesla's market cap"

The creation of this compensation plan was taking place during the Model 3 ramp (production hell). In response to this, Elon sent Todd Maron (Tesla's GC) an email asking him to put the discussion of his compensation "on hold for a few weeks" stating that he "just wanted to make sure Tesla interests come first"

This will all get sorted out one way or another with the majority of shareholders supporting Elon getting paid. While I strongly disagree with the verdict I also didn't read the document as a veiled attack on capitalism that was politically motivated to harm $TSLA

It's easy to score social media clout by bashing the ruling but I'd venture to guess less than 1% of people yelling about the outcome actually read the full court case to understand the merits and legal basis of the arguments

I think the more important takeaway is the fact that Elon isn't like other billionaires. He's not seeking self preservation or comfort. He's not after wealth to enjoy and spend on himself

His only real desire for wealth is to reinvest it in endeavors that benefit humanity and it sounds crazy and unbelievable to most people because it's entirely foreign to how most people are wired. When you look at his actions though, he walks the walk more than anyone I've ever seen

I know this may come off as just some Elon fanboy take, but having followed the man and his endeavors for years, based on all of the evidence we have, this really is where I land
