Sorry but you are clueless. The reputations that B2B companies seek is different than the reputations B2C companies seek. A B2C company is more sensitive to day to day reputation because it can impact their sales. A B2B company does not care as much about that sort of reputation and is more interested in long term…

Judging that Tesla hired Jim Keller back in January, month prior to this crash. It is pretty obvious Tesla was planning to move away from Mobile Eye for quite some time. Even in previous statements dating to a year ago, Tesla hinted plans to move away from Mobile Eye.

That is nonsense. Mobile Eye largest sales is to companies, not consumers. How their tech is used is irrelevant to them.

Tesla autopilot clearly says its not for use in cross traffic either. While Tesla autopilot does use custom firmware and supports many features MobileEye does not.

The answer is pretty simple. At first Tesla started out with using their hardware and custom software/firmware. But there comes a point where hardware becomes a limiting factor, so Tesla wants better hardware, hence they are building their own in-house.

Again, there is a difference between programming in which is simple. And actually enforcing that programming via autopilot system as it introduces risks. (Like a single street error can be the difference between going 60 in a 25 mile zone)

There is a difference between using an app like waze for suggestions and actually having the car abide by that. The issue here is not capability but reliability.

Sorry, I thought you were responding to a different comment of mine.

It does to an extent, it reads road signs and adjusts. But if say a truck blocks the road sign and it does not see it, it won’t adjust. The owner can also disable that and just set his own.

Tesla is the only major electric car manufacturer who only sells electric cars. Ford, Toyota, Chevy and etc could care less if you opt for their ICE cars instead of their electric cars, they would probably prefer it. Tesla though is in a different boat.

So you are from Texas, figures. A state that opted out of Obamacare, hence you have high cost (You pretty much got all the consequences without 95% of the benefits by your state opting out). Blame your governor who cares more about falling in line with his political party rather than help his citizens.

In the case of Utah, even more so. Because Utah constitution Article XII section 20 says:

You don’t get it do you. It isn’t about can or can’t. Franchised dealerships are 3rd parties with different agendas they look at things as $ earned / time spent. Historically speaking it takes more time to explain an electric car to a consumer than a gasoline car. So if you go into a dealership, they will try to…

That is complete nonsense. First of all, there is nothing wrong with having a monopoly on selling your own product. It is called a vericle monopoly and is a-ok. The Monopolies that are a problem are horizontal monopolies and government granted monopolies (what dealerships are in the US).

Based on NHTSA delegations, autopilot is not considered a driver but an assist feature. So responsibility is on the driver. The feature is disabled by default, the user enables it and agrees to the terms.

Both Tesla and the driver are a 1st party. Tesla is a first party because the sensor data is theirs. Which means they have access to the data and context of said data.

Because you are talking about 2 completely different investigation procedures. When government investigates, they are a 3rd party, so the investigation has to look at all side and find inconsistencies and piece things together. When you have your own data, there is no need to do that, you just go off based on what…

They have multiple sensors, it is impossible for the sensors to be wrong. It is possible for the sensors to give incorrect data, sure. But that would be more of a glitch and you would quickly see inconsistencies.

People are not very good at driving their cars either. We are just at the early stage where people don’t realize blackboxes come in 98% of new cars. And insurance companies are going to be soon requiring access to the blackboxes to process insurance requests.

Let me recap for you the conversation:
