Tesla’s recall of 2 million cars relies on a fix that may not even work::Tesla agreed to the recall last week after a federal investigation the system to monitor drivers was defective and required a fix.
Tesla’s website says that Autopilot and more sophisticated “Full Self Driving” software cannot drive themselves
Full self driving
Cannot drive themselves
Christ I can smell the bullshit all the way from Canada.
The “we can do it by end of this year” he’s been toting since 2016 wasn’t a giveaway?
Dude, sit tight. Full self driving is coming at the end of 2017!
So they are pretty much trying to figure out how to make sure the driver is paying attention to the road? IDK, maybe make the car respond to the steering wheel so that the driver has to move it or the car will not turn? That would ensure the driver is actually looking at the road.
Alternatively ask them questions about the surroundings. “Driver, what state is the car in front of you from? You have 3 second to answer or FSD will be disabled”.
A better solution, experts say, would be to require Tesla to use cameras to monitor drivers’ eyes to make sure they’re watching the road. Some Teslas do have interior-facing cameras. But they don’t see well at night, unlike those in General Motors or Ford driver monitoring systems, said Philip Koopman, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who studies vehicle automation safety.
In case you were wondering who wrote the article
This is so fucking stupid it actually makes me mad. A tiny percentage of people died misusing the feature and now Tesla is forced to upgrade people to a technology that doesnt exist yet??? For free??? Holy shit this is dumb. Tesla should just relabel it to auto assist or something
Buyer’s remorse is rough I take it.
