Quietly intense Aussie bloke. Cant scroll by cool tech (old or new), neurological deep dives, or needless meanness without response. Values kind people like you

@bixlereid @DrZamilov “But it’s perspective that’s required to shift.” - yes, strangely this is a universally true maxim for which few people hold as a core belief.

[Greg Wright @wrightg]

I don't think it's trying to undertake.

It's just biasing to the left for reasons unknown. The same behaviour has existed in HW3, and v13 HW4 cars for a long time.

If anything, now it indicates before making the move. You can easily turn off the blinker, or take over if you elect to let it play out a little. I just use the blinker disable.

[Greg Wright @wrightg]

This behaviour isn't relationship friendly. He should give enough detail for her to not worry, which she is, and reasonably so.

He is in a relationship, managing hard times as an individual. Fine, but understand that reality and deal with the gap. Yes, that's hard, but not impossible. Just takes intention to be s healthier partner.

Right now, she should give him what he asked for, and when he is back under control and calm, let him know what she expects in future, which would be reasonable communication about when she is able to connect back with him, or when he will with her which is safer, and how much time (in hours at most, days if she is ok with that) he will be disconnected from the relationship construct until the next communicates with her.

I don't agree with all of Elon's takes on the media, but he did say something that really hit home for me... He said to think about a subject that you're an expert on and look at all the inaccuracies you see when the media reports on it. Now realize that the same inaccuracy exists for all subjects; you just don't know any better.

[Whole Mars Catalog @wholemars]

Shame on the media for falsely blaming Autopilot when a human driver killed someone. Your irresponsible reporting will push people away from life saving technology and cost real lives.

it’s all political. the truth doesn’t matter. this is exactly why public trust has eroded.

[phil beisel @pbeisel]

The real story here is we are at that point where letting the driver take over is the most dangerous part.

It's ironic. Unsupervised would have been safer.

We don't know the details of why the driver felt the need to peg the accelerator pedal (we will soon know). But we can say his decision (assuming it wasn't purposeful) was incorrect.

He was controlling his car at the moment of impact, however you define the word "control". FSD was not in charge.

FSD does in fact allow the user to accelerate. This allows the user to get his car 'out of danger' in some situations (that are pretty limited e.g., a car not moving off the train tracks when on FSD or stuck in an intersection).

Modest acceleration (time duration) will not disengage FSD, but at this point the user owns the driving, FSD is waiting for the user to release the accelerator pedal.

@AdrianKviolin @LCHF_Matt @australian Evidence supports this.

[Greg Wright @wrightg]

@FredLambert Did you just **imagine** what happened and then make an argument in support of your own projection? Wow.

[Greg Wright @wrightg]

@Onetoothwilly @FredLambert @DriveTeslaca Real "trust me bro" energy hey...

@evcricket @RespectfulMemes They are just chip balls. They make these then they slice them into oily golden delights.

I love the new Charging Stats 2 on the Tesla app! 👍
I wish I could tap on the red dots to see the supercharger name and more stats (how many times I’ve charged there, how many kWh of energy charged etc)
Well done @Tesla @TeslaCharging👏
@harald_murphy how’s yours looking? 👀

[Greg Wright @wrightg]

@spacetime_btc Really!? That's a handy note to add to people's awareness!

[Greg Wright @wrightg]

@ringsau @TeslaAUNZ 13 did for us, as did Autopilot on HW3.

Maybe that history is why i just take over the moment it starts steering.

Id love to better understand why.

Glad it wasn't turning into the middle like my HW3 Model 3 would/does do. That's a hardcore safety critical issue.

[Greg Wright @wrightg]

Hey @TeslaAUNZ - got a few kilometres under the FSD v14.3.3 belt over the last few days. FSD has been great, I even showed some people who had no real idea this was even a thing, and after a few minutes, they were becoming indifferent compared to what they were seeing outside the car! That's a real litmus test passed... super exciting to think of what's coming for so many Australian owners!

[Greg Wright @wrightg]

@ringsau @TeslaAUNZ Yeah, doesn't sound good. I just completed the last leg of our trip, and didn't have the blind spot concern thankfully.

Did continue to get navigation based issues. Broke my streak pf 145kms. Sigh.

[Greg Wright @wrightg]

@ringsau @TeslaAUNZ I had an issue with this at the motel, till i switched the parking mode. I'm certain you haven't got that problem from what you wrote, but i mention in case!!

[Greg Wright @wrightg]

@hyghner @DillonLoomis @nytimes Sure thing. Whatever you say.

[Greg Wright @wrightg]

@teslaxhusky Looks fake..! Beautifully fake!

[Greg Wright @wrightg]

@spacetime_btc @AusTeslaOwners Exactly

[Greg Wright @wrightg]

Agree with those issues existing, though you should be taking over to prevent the errors. The left blinker for non-existent freeway exits it benign, it self resolves, but taking over and reporting is better. On merging left, i prefer taking over prior, when the indicator is triggered. Only one i haven't experienced is the changing lanes with blind spot active. I haven't seen that. It will signal to switch lanes proactively, but it doesn't merge until safe to do so.

I myself can't agree with the claim of "unsafe". I recall only two safety critical scenarios so far. 1, car drove onto wrong side of road leaving New Italy supercharger in the side road 60 zone. No oncoming cars, but consider that safety critical obviously. And second, a B-Double suddenly crossed into our right lane as we were approaching. It started from across the left side line giving me lots of time to anticipate. I reacted quickly and took over control, resulting in hard braking with ABS involved. I logged that as a critical intervention as I think FSD should have predicted the risk and slowed down earlier. In that case myself and passengers were not alarmed, avoidance was timely and safe. Supervision and identification of failure modes is critically important to development.

As the car pulled over autonomously on direction from a police officer for a roadside breath test, i said to him "everybody needs this technology". I believed it then (last night) enough to discuss it randomly with the officer.

@bneauev I'm very enamoured with QLD, but reside in the great state of NSW. But i think we can agree, competitive forced demand we joust!

[Greg Wright @wrightg]

Words affect perceptions.

These words are used intentionally.

Of course you are right that the driver said these words. But that doesn't justify misleading people about the true causal factor.

People are sick of the misinformation.

That doesn't make them "dick riders", you juvenile child.
