  • Tesla releases some misleading stats that compare accidents vs other cars vs teslas that have their driving assistance systems on, and while the comparison to other cars isn’t great since it’s kind if apples to oranges, it’s pretty clear that there are less accidents with their systems turned on than off on their own cars.

    Edit: major accidents anyway. It doesn’t track fender bender type things. I think the air bag needs to have deployed.

    Edit: just to add another thought. The people that abuse the automated systems are probably the same people who would be breaking rules of the road anyway. So those people are causing accidents with the automated systems turned on, but maybe they would have been anyway. At the extreme end you have those people using it while drunk. I’m pretty sure they would have driven drunk anyway, or have driven drunk before.







  • So bear with me on this…

    Tesla has their inference chip in the cars, and the AI hardware is going to continue improving.

    A couple interations from now, it’s actually going to be pretty powerful, and it has it’s own cooling hardware and power supply.

    It actually might make sense in the future to use this distrubuted power and cooling and do distrubuted inference. Pay the owner for time used.

    Maybe it’ll work, maybe it won’t.

    Now… the insane part is, Elon once referred to it as (paraphrased) well, the car is going to have all this compute, and it’s just sitting there doing nothing at home. It’s going to get bored, and we don’t want that, we need to keep it engaged.

    As it it was actually fucking sentient. Like fuck the right off.
