    What I'd like is for the EV industry to make EVs just work like ICEs.

  2. Being new is not an excuse for being safe. If that was the case, Boeing wouldn't be in deep trouble right now. Why would they give the front two cameras if they're not going to understand the perception of depth that you get from stereoscopic vision? With basic depth perception they could easily tell the difference between lines on a wall and on the road.

    These seem like very basic necessities to driving. For a car that is supposed to have all the hardware for full auto driving, it has worse vision than a lot of people that lose their license for it. Doesn't matter that there is a human in the car, because humans lose attention and it is well known that Tesla's countermeasures don't work.

    You can say that until there are no longer ICE vehicles on the market. Already companies are starting to abandon ICE for EV. They're not likely to care if they alter our way of life.

    Yeah well, pretty sure a lot of people complain about it and yet it still is. Legally they can't make you pay, but they can tow your vehicle if you have outstanding tickets and park on their property anywhere. And they own 90% of the lots.

    The problem is, what happens when more automakers decide they only want to make EVs? Many people here like to go to their cabins 1-3 hours away and go with a big group. If there are 10 people up there for the weekend all with EVs in the cold, how will that ever work? How can it be a good thing that there are three ICEs left on the market? Already VW is doing only EVs and sales of ICE small vehicles are disappearing. I think this may be a big change of way of life for some people and it kind of feels like companies won't give a crap.

    They may be some day? They should be before the PUBLIC IS USING THEM!

  10. If it isn't a terribly difficult solution, how did it make it though the original design?? Seriously, they have these things in the hands of customers, every easy solution should be thought of by now. The answer is that it is not as easy as you might think; they now need to teach their AI the concept of perspective or someone else will just think of a new way to do the stickers that defeats the rules they have in place now and it will keep happening.

  11. My lord. Stop spouting this crap. A human does not get fooled into thinking stickers are lane markers.

    So the car steers into a concrete barrier and you think that's better, somehow? Sure it may save the people in the oncoming lane but driver sill dead. Also, I doubt even two Tesla S's coming at each other at highway speed would stop in time. That would be something I would have to see to believe.

    I've gone back all winter in oslo and have not found one time below -11C.

    Why is it when the conversation turns to EVs there are always different 'stories'. The internet says the average temp is -10 in Oslo. Where I live the average temp is -25, yet you are saying the whether there is like where I live.

    If this thread proved one thing, it's that no one really knows what the weather in Norway is. I'm going to go out on a limb and say more people have EVs where the weather rarely gets cold than where it gets very cold.
