As we enter the age of autonomy, traffic fatalities in the United States have reached their lowest level since 2014, according to annual data released by NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System. NHTSA reported 36,096 fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2019, down 2 percent from 36,835 in 2018 even as travel rose 0.8 percent. […]
Absolutely. We will release FSD subscription early next year. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 20, 2020
This week Zoox, the autonomous vehicle company Amazon recently acquired, unveiled an autonomous electric vehicle that they supposedly plan to make available as part of a Robotaxi service. Conceptually, it’s fairly similar to the Cruise Origin, another AEV with a bidirectional design: There are a few things to like here. The idea of an autonomous-only […]
Sam Sheffer recently caught a ride in the first Tesla New York City yellow cab. Hopefully it’ll be the first of many. I wonder if the driver will use FSD once it’s released?

Remember that guy who co-founded Zoox and then got fired a year before they sold to Amazon? No? Well, he has a new self-driving startup that’s probably funded by that Bezos money he got out of Zoox’s exit. Early-stage HYPR, created by Zoox co-founder Tim Kentley Klay, says it’s using reinforcement learning, a branch of machine […]
Some new bug fixes for the FSD beta are rolling out now. Old version was 2020.44.15.3 so probably just some minor improvements. Just did a first drive on the latest #Tesla #FSDbeta version 2020.44.15.4 and the car took several turns it was not able to do before. Video soon! — Sofiaan Fraval (@Sofiaan) November 30, […]
Tesla released a new FSD Beta a few days ago, version 2020.44.15.3. I recorded a few videos using the new software. Each video has a sped up version with music (because watching a drive at 1x is kind of boring), but I also uploaded the raw footage for people who want to look at every […]
