Replying to @Tesla
@Tesla and @Elon Musk just admitted they were never able to build a driverless system-I said this 8 years ago and explained exactly why - linkedin.com/posts/activity-…

Tesla FSD can never work being camera only and using a fatally flawed development approach. Been saying this for 9 years. Details here linkedin.com/posts/activity-…

Penguins are going to lose the final game of Stanley Cup final in a shootout.

Watching Lakers-Celtics. It’s slop. Herky jerky, too many threes, no flow. Not enjoyable to watch. It’s like hockey with too many outside shots.

Canada lost the game. Very, very sore losers.

Is this superbowl a high school football game? Maybe JV?

Seems like the football HOF should do a one time mass induction to catch up in time. People should get the award while they are alive to enjoy it. Any chance they slow roll because the building is too small?

Very telling how many people in the industry are so up in arms about Belichick not being first ballot HoF can’t understand why AND don’t mention the cheating and worse, intent to cheat. Two things are true. He deserves that message and to eventually get in.

Unfortunate how many inside football folks are so tone deaf regarding Belichick not making the HOF first ballot. HE CHEATED. What’s the bigger sin than that? He deserves the message being sent. And you folks complaining are exposing yourselves as needing the same message.

Steelers game wasn’t as close as the score says. But hey, bring Tomlin back. I like perpetual mediocrity and let downs.

Troy just nailed it. It’s why Tomlin needs to go.

Please do the basic engineering homework through the ODD especially conditions that degrade each sensor. You must have cameras, imaging radar and LiDAR each classify, localize and track to have full singular coverage in combination. Pull one sensor type or mode and no L4.
The fact that the Nvidia autonomous systems use vision AND radar to create safety redundancy is the correct hardware setup. At some point tesla will adapt or continue to fall further behind. On the other hand if tesla fixed the hardware and mapping issues, the software is way better and they could take the lead again... $tsla

What was Rex Ryan’s HC record? Mediocre. His defense of the mediocre Tomlin is a futile effort to gaslight us into believing their records were either better or mediocre is a good thing.

Cheney devastated families and wasted military lives, equipment and taxpayer money in the trillions on the wrong enemy and lied to the American people to do it. President Bush, Powell, Rumsfeld and a weak and lazy congress enabled this. Deplorable.
