From watching youtube videos I got the impression that the Ford 'Blue Cruise' does not require the hands to be on the wheel.
I haven't used the Ford system but I have used the Tesla system and it requires you to move the wheel at a pretty annoyingly and regular frequency to remain in autopilot mode. I believe the cabin camera can also detect when you are on your phone or looking away - but i'm not sure if this is rolled out to non-FSD cars.
I think the frequency that you have to prove you are paying attention is about every 30 seconds
I think all the crashes involved in this investigation would have been radar. The vision only is really 2022+ year model cars (and possibly some late 2021).
Here are some quotes from the article for you. The concern is not that she cares about safety, but that she is very strongly biased against Tesla and has a financial interest in promoting other companies.
"The same goes for her stance regarding CEO Elon Musk. In March 2020, for example, Dr. Cummings seemingly joked about needing someone to stop her from punching Elon Musk in the face. "
"It should be noted that Dr. Cummings’ seat at Veoneer was not disclosed when she published a paper (which was later updated to remove inaccurate details about a fatal Tesla crash) criticizing systems such as Autopilot for their possible dangers. And so far, the incoming NHTSA senior safety adviser has not shared if she would be leaving her post at the Swedish LIDAR company, especially since she would soon be advising a US safety agency on driver-assist systems that adopt both LIDAR and non-LIDAR solutions. "
"Missy Cummings receives around $400,000 worth of stock in Swedish LIDAR company Veoneer per year as compensation for her role as a non-employee member of the board."
If I go looking about articles related to the Biden administration and Tesla, I mostly see articles about Musk complaining the Biden administration was ignoring them. That's not what I'd expect if they were "bitterly anti Tesla".
I've always been bad at math but isn't 4TB for $400 approximately $0.10/GB ?
As another commenter mentioned EBS is quite a bit better than just a SSD in a number of ways. You can resize it, it has published resiliency numbers, quick and easy snapshots, etc etc
Also worth noting that the newest generation (GP3) is 0.08/GB/Month although like all things Amazon there are other charges to take into account.
> I’ve always been bad at math but isn't 4TB for $400 approximately $0.10/GB?
Yes, I was trying to say that amazon and google charge $400 for 4TB (a lot!). And yes, EBS is better but what about when all you need is actually just an SSD?
There's a second dead comment with some objectionable language. And the comment on this thread that makes unsubstantiated claims about the implication of this case. And my concern about this posting isn't that we should or shouldn't be interested in this case of fraud, but rather that it's a local news story that is completely off-topic for HN. It's not academic, or technical, or related to entrepreneurship or any of the other topics of interest. It is suspicious that a 1 hour old account posts something that would normally get zero traction on this site suddenly shoots to the top. And the timing this close to the first public hearings on the Jan 6 committee is ever more suspicious.
The objectionable language seems to be quoting someone else. Although the person they're quoting self-censored in the original tweets so they probably should have done the same.
That would probably be Tesla? I suppose it depends on your definition of repair-ability. Telsa has a high degree of parts compatibility and seems able to keep even the older 2012 era Model S repaired.
There are a lot of high mileage Teslas out there. Most of Tesla's negative reputation seems to be people complaining about fit and finish (paint, panel gaps). The actual mechanical reliability seems to be quite higher than a normal ICE car. However EVs are still pretty new so long term data is still being collected.
Teslas seem to have a reputation of being locked down and requiring first party repairs. As an example, Tesla charges extremely high fees for its repair documentation to shops.
Considering how many Teslas have been shipped, a postmarket community forming around the vehicles seems likely. I just don't know how successful it will be when the manufacturer is so hostile toward third party repairs and tinkering overall.
I don't doubt they are reliable cars, though. So are Apple computers and phones.
No, the data shows that Tesla vehicles generally have terrible reliability. A Toyota Prius hybrid is far more mechanically complex than any Tesla EV, yet the Prius is far more reliable on average.
I'm having a hard time navigating that site and getting any data out of it. Is it considered a reliable source of information? It seems to only have data for the first generation Model 3 from 2018. They also seems to count stuff like replacement of the 12v battery.
The writeups of high mileage Tesla's that I have read have not mentioned very many repairs - and that seems to be the general consensus on the owner's forums.
Note that software updates are also considered 'recalls' on Teslas now.
Consumer Reports has more recent data. Tesla is next to last. The potential for EV reliability is there, but Tesla has missed it with incompetent engineering and sloppy assembly.
yeah gotta agree. I suspect it is software version dependent - the most negative comments here always seem to be from folks who don't own teslas - whereas people who do seem to be mostly saying that the issue is getting better not worse.
Tesla topics seem worse than political topics on HN for triggering blind rage
Neat idea however air filter changes would be extremely expensive as its about 5x the air filters of a conventional purifier - which already seem to cost around 50-100 dollars to replace.
The filters are MERV-14, not HEPA, so they're much cheaper ("materials for one fan are nine MERV-14 filters for $110"). See https://www.jefftk.com/p/merv-filters-for-covid for why MERV-14.
As a security engineer, I always cringe when anything involving containers is referred to as "serverless".
I always thought that one of the advantages of going serverless was that you didn't have to worry about keeping the underlying operating system up-to-date. No needing to do a monthly "sudo apt update && apt upgrade" or whatever. But containers throw that all away when container images enter the world.
Instead of updating your operating system, you're updating your images...and it's basically the same thing.
Is anyone's goal of 'serverless' that they no longer have to deal with updating the OS?
Most would say even a server-ful system (k8s, or whatever) should be considered 'cattle not pets' with immutable nodes replaced as needed anyway. No update, just replace. Just like building a new image and having new pods (or serverless whatevers) pull it.
The cattle not pets abstraction always struck me as wildly bizarre. Whoever came up with that phrase, did they grow up on a farm?
I’ve never cordoned off an individual head of cattle and lobotomized it, which is kinda what we do when debugging issues. We take the pod out of rotation, flip a bunch of configs, then give it some traffic to see the new debugging statements.
From a purely security standpoint, "updating your OS" and "updating your image" are equivalent. What matters to the security people are that you're running the latest OpenSSL that isn't vulnerable to the newest branded vulnerability.
If you're truly "serverless" by my interpretation of it, then you wouldn't care. Your cloud provider will have updated their infrastructure, and that's all that matters.
Yeah I see what you're saying, that's a fair enough interpretation of it I just don't think it's the only one.
In fact almost nothing is serverless (well, the truth comes out! ;)) by that definition, since even Lambda has runtime versions to choose/upgrade, Managed-Acme has Acme versions, etc.
SES, SNS, SQS, etc. sure, but I suppose no compute, since you need libraries, and libraries have versions, and you can't have them (significantly/major versions) changing under your feet. (Or if they don't have versions they're of course destined to have known security holes.)
(Or it's not even about libraries if you want to say no you don't need libraries - it's just about having to interface with anything.)
