  Not any tangible difference in this scenario. Both use vision only. And both use the same computers.

    But do they use a different software? Maybe FSD is more advanced than autopilot and could have reacted better?

    Just playing devil’s advocate here.

      The software may change but these tests show it’s the hardware that’s limiting them. If the Tesla can’t see a kid through fog, it doesn’t matter what software you pick, that kid gunna die.

      Yes, completely different software, but both are limited by machine vision.

    Human drivers use vision only

      Fortunately humans have much better hardware and software to accompany that vision.

        And still we cause so many deaths because we are tired, distracted or emotional when driving.

      Human drivers generally use sound as well.

  The other car only used emergency breaking, so there’s that.

  He was helping out Tesla by doing that. He was helping them get the wins they got instead of just Tesla massacring the kid every time. Note to self: As a pedestrian and you see a tesla, don’t cross the street.

    I like to help a Tesla out by throwing it batteries, Philly style.

  All the other cars he tested stopped just fine. Who cares about fiddling with modes and shit.

  “Full shelf driving” still needs to be in quotes. It’s a feature’s brand name for a product that doesn’t actually have full self driving capabilities.

  Try not to carry water for their attempted, repeated lie.

  Philip DeFranco had him on Yesterday and he said the reason he didn’t use FSD was that it required you to input an address, but that there isn’t any difference in terms of the sensors being used.

  Given that the other car didn’t appear to have a version of FSD either, I’m unclear as to why Autopilot wasn’t the correct move for the most accurate comparison.
