Tesla sales volumes are still REALLY REALLY low compared to GM and Ford. It seems the point of the study isn’t developing self driving cars per se, it’s developing self driving cars for millions of people, to which Ford and GM are much closer.

And that is pretty much why Tesla is ranked as low as they are. Their strategy depends on old technology, using 8 cameras, but their execution is only using 2. Meanwhile, over in Dearborn & Warren, they’re using more advanced technology, and they’re using it more effectively.

They are not using LIDAR, therefore their tech will always be inferior.

It’s probably the fact that the Tesla stuff isn’t really ready for use on public roads, as Tesla themselves have started to admit, now that they recognize some potential legal liability.

So the riders didn’t get cited for crossing the double yellow? What was the rationale for that?

He cares now I bet.

I had a 2000 Mustang V6 - the car I bought in high school. I had it for 15 years and it had over 230,000 miles when I sold it. Not one major issue, only your typical repairs for a car of that age. The point is, in the case of many modern cars, it doesn’t really matter what you buy, if you take care of it like you…

So multiply what you’re seeing here by four, five, six or more and you start to get a grasp on what’s really going on. It’s nuts to think about.

I would say electrical failure will make things far worse than no speedo in a new Tesla.

Is there any other current-production vehicle that uses the center speedo arrangement other than mini?

I watched this show, wish they would do a second season

hey, darby!

Detroit 2016 looks just like your pic!

So they get offended by a VW impound lot impersonating pre-game parking, but never had problem with the Lions impersonating a football team?

I will say that we have met their car folks and even worked with them over the years, and that is extremely true. They are thorough, smart people who know their shit. CR just serves a different purpose than what we do, for example. But they’re far better—both ethically and operationally—than the vast majority of…

I’ll reserve judgement until it airs, but I don’t have high hopes.
