    Discuss: Teslas Using Autopilot Are 10x Safer According to Latest Vehicle Safety Report

    Yeah, but there are only about twice as many accidents on local roads per mile driven vs highways. So, even if ALL AP miles were highway and ALL non-AP miles were non-highway (an extremely unrealistic assumption that would help your theory for explaining the difference), this wouldn't come close...

    Discuss: Teslas Using Autopilot Are 10x Safer According to Latest Vehicle Safety Report

    You know what they don't mention in that article... If all the cars behind that Tesla were driving on autopilot, they would have been following at an appropriate distance and they would have actually braked in time. There would have been no pileup at all. But, because some people are willing to...

    Discuss: Teslas Using Autopilot Are 10x Safer According to Latest Vehicle Safety Report

    I think, in the other story, its not even confirmed that FSD/AP was activated. The driver blamed it, of course. I've done this too when pulled over for speeding. "No officer, I wasn't driving, the car was and I guess it didn't see the change in speed limit." Got off without even an official...

    Tesla is removing ultrasonic sensors from all of its vehicles

    No, there is a whole list of features that are not available to cars that are currently rolling out due to the lack of ultrasonic sensors. Autopark was definitely on that list. Regular summon and smart summon were also on there.

    Camera upgrades

    I mean...obviously the current system is not going to work as well as it would with better cameras and a better processor. Tesla wouldn't spend the money on better cameras and a better processor if there wasn't going to be an improvement. With 4x the pixels on the new cameras, they should be...

    Rear Fog Lights on US vehicles

    Nope, never noticed that. If they're red and are manually turned on in the fog, seems like a good option!

    Tesla will now send push notifications when 12V batteries needs to be replaced

    I just went through my second battery replacement in 4 years. Luckily the last failure was just weeks before my warranty ran out, so Tesla replaced it for free. Since it was free, I didn't bother asking about an upgrade to Li-Ion, because I figured they'd want to charge me for that. It sure...

    Rear Fog Lights on US vehicles

    White rear lights while moving forward? What's the point? Might make someone think that a car is coming toward them, no? Usually you see white when a car is coming at you and red when a car is driving away. Seems like fog lights on the back would cause confusion and/or desensitize people to the...

    Tesla is removing ultrasonic sensors from all of its vehicles

    OK, so reading these comments, I think it'll probably be less-bad than everyone is assuming. Except when the car is first manufactured, things that are close to it have to get there somehow. So lets say you pull up to a tall curb. The Tesla can see the curb as you approach, but then it falls out...

    Tesla FSD hardware 4.0 cameras are now being shipped according to supplier

    Sooo....Back in 2018 when I bought my car, FSD included all future hardware upgrades needed to reach "full self driving." Elon has since sort of changed the definition of "Full Self Driving" to mean "Not Fully Self Driving" but at the time he was talking about robotaxis and the car dropping...
