That's a relief.

The systems where it beeped to let them know that someone was intruding on their lane, yeah, my car has that. Does the same thing if I'm closing on someone fast and am not applying the brakes. I just don't get that excited by that video.

The videos where autopilot is engaged and the Tesla is skipping off a jersey barrier when the lane is diverted, skipping off a steel barrier along the road, side-swiping vehicles pulled over to the side of a lane...now those are funny. Static object identification and avoidance seems to me to be a pretty basic requirement before making the technology available to the public...unless you like to pay a lot of money and risk your life (and others) as a beta tester.

Yeah, I think we're done here.

You can only decide when <you're> done. That being said, I mean no disrespect but it seems painfully apparent to me that you do.
I don't know what you hope to accomplish with your tirades of Tesla worship, but I was never under any delusion I would convince you I'm correct... I entered into this thread from the very beginning with the belief that someone would personally attack me for pointing out that their belief system at least partially based on a person and/or corporation.
Part of what I was doing was going farther to the extreme just because you were. (yep, I'm a troll.. Justin- Props for calling me out)

If you're to learn anything from your elders, it's that your tactics did nothing to convince me, but further steeled my resolve.
I'm going to leave a message for my broker to ensure that no Tesla assets are in my portfolio by the end of market tomorrow. [hahhah-no]
This is in no way a mandate that you have to learn from me- find your own way.... I'm just telling you that you'll never convince someone of my clearly advanced age using the tactics you did in this thread.

I at least hoped to reveal your Tesla cognitive dissonance for what it is to others... and at best I hoped you would recognize that you've got an unhealthy fixation with the subject... but alas, I believe you are convinced beyond my ability to convince you otherwise. Oh well, that's your problem.

And I'm not going to lose a second of sleep over accusations of improper English from someone who commits the most common of errors... really, how hard is it? spend an hour studying English on this particular subject (you vs your vs you're) and you can master it... sincerely, I believe your'e smart enough- but you likely just haven't paid enough attention. But I am also never offended by someone pointing out grammatical errors in my posts, perhaps my overuse of ellipsis? After all, <dammit, Jim> I'm an Engineer, not an English professor. (paraphrasing) Forums tend to have a little informal English anyway... but there are memes based on your vs you're.

But anyway, I've enjoyed sparring in print on the subject- even if you did not.

P.S. (My sentence about dumping TSLA should in no way be taken as financial advice... I am not a financial adviser, even if I build networks for them)

Sorry if my response above re-sparks something... I didn't see your response until after I posted it...

When a company stops looking at the errors the system makes, they will cease to make any improvements.
With any system, The more rules you put in, the longer the system will take to make a decision (within the bounds of the same hardware).

I can write some code real fast that will NEVER lead to a collision- but alas, you'll never get anywhere in that vehicle.

So there will be a constant battle between code to recognize threats, the time to react to them, and the public perception that it's "too sensitive" and slowing their commute.

I'd shake his hand if I met him in person, I'm serious about no hard feelings.

I am forced to work with people I disagree with.... and while I disrespected the hell out of Tesla, I only tried to call out truth with members of this forum... I'm open to criticism of where I did otherwise. Sometimes the truth hurts.
