@Kirwan I guess being a non-nerd, unlike some on here, it is hard to really understand how adaptive the tech is and will be.

@taniwharugby don't worry, I'm sure the first time I step into an AV I'll be shitting myself
But I trust the guys writing the software are at least 1 million times better than me at this, so it should be sweet.Contrast this to my wife, who won't even use cruise control....

It's pretty amazing what they have achieved so far. I'll be nervous as hell driving in one of these, still though.
Another good video is the blind guy being taken through drive through. Think of the applications for the elderly and disabled alone. Going to be life changing.
Might even get rid of car parks, or car ownership for a large portion of society. Just get your app and say you need a car for x number of people at a location and time, and it turns up.

But you wont be driving
Was watching a new Tv Series last night and one of the characters had a Tesla, and when they got in I saw the navigation panel like in the clip above by @NTA

Or my wife who doesn't know what it is.
Her car has it, but it has oil as well and ...you get the point.As for self driving vehicles - fuck that. I've spent most of my life being transported by automation and it is seriously boring (interspersed with moments of sheer terror). I prefer the risk of the moron in front of you doing something idiotic and having to deal with it. We need some excitement in life.

There is a slower version of this here:
Tesla's Latest Autopilot Demo Shows Us What A Model S 'Sees' In Real Time - BGR
Tesla over the weekend released a pair of videos which demonstrate, in real time, what the company's Autopilot software 'sees' when it's driving without any…
That car seemed to stop.. alot.
Also.. they seemed to be really tidy with the roadside trimming of trees in that locality...

I do wonder how it allows for road works and the adjusted speed limits. Every now and then I will see works and they with have 30kph on one side of road and 50kph on the other in error.
I totally rammed up the back of if when it stopped for those runners on the footpath.

Software reads road signs.

Software reads road signs.
Also: use Google Maps to run a route and you'll see where it has roadworks noted. It is constantly feeding data about changed traffic conditions, which you get as part of the estimated time of travel.

None of those examples show the critical need to slow down slightly to get a better look at the hot chick out for a jog.
Put that in your AI and you have a winner.
The car is fucking loaded with cameras. So you can take that vision home.

Just reading about a Tesla Model X in the Netherlands which predicted a crash ahead of the vehicle nearly a second before it happened.
Article with the deets is here BUT it has some dodgy "YOU JUST WON!" links on it:
Tesla Autopilot's new radar technology predicts an accident caught on dashcam a second later
Just a few weeks ago, we published a report about how Tesla’s new radar technology for the Autopilot is already...
So if you don't want that stupid shit, here is the short version of the video recorded from the owner's TV playback of dashcam, by the looks:
Note the beeping just before impact. The new update to the Tesla software allows the radar to look beyond the vehicle in front. In this case probably saw the sudden deceleration of the black car before the purple car did, as he was looking to change lanes.

I thought that was really rubbish as not once did I look at gender or age or 'fitness' of victims, yet a lot of the results showed what I chose even though the thought process left Gender etc out
