Really Bad on Mark, used to like him but that's shady not activating autopilot but creating a full video about it.I didn't realise that Tesla deactivated radars already installed on existing vehicles. This is a interesting test showing camera based only autopilots shortcomings.

Didn't he use autopilot on the tests? The first one he did it with the one where the driver has to act and it hit the kid, but then he did it again with the autopilot and it stopped. He said he would use the autopilot on all the rest of the tests.
Yeah after the first test he switched to using Autopilot on everything because its far more conservative.
He posted an unedited version of that impact on his twitter, and it looks like he accidentally grabs the steering wheel right before the impact with the "wall" so technically speaking he disengaged autopilot. However, even if Autopilot was working AND detected the "Wall" it would not have been able to stop before making contact with the wall.
Hopefully it pushes Tesla to update the USA supercharger faster than v4. I also wonder if Scout will create a charging station of some-sort, but i don’t know if its allowed since they are using NACS.
Yeah, and the LiDAR was better. My 3 had it…it could see through horrendous rainstorms where I visually couldn’t see road markings, etc… the camera update was a rude change. Even now the cameras don’t do everything promised. One of the advertised perks were that it’d see speed signs, even temporary construction ones. Hwy 13 up here is 65 mph, pretty regular postings, yet autopilot will max at 50 and I have to depress the accelerator to override. Usually cameras do okay but def not as good as LiDAR was.I didn't realise that Tesla deactivated radars already installed on existing vehicles.

According to this article, teslas have a habit of disengaging autopilot right before an unavoidable accident

No such thing.
Trump Slaps 25% Tariffs on Canada and Mexico, with Major Automotive Implications
The new tariffs include no exceptions for parts or vehicles — and complex supply chains mean it affects more cars than you might think.www.roadandtrack.com
Good Day to be a true fully American made Auto Manufacturer.
Note the words “temporarily” and “delay” here. Soooo… haul ass and buy something now while the gettin’s good?
Honestly, I fully support the Tariffs. Being able to manufacture a car cheap in Mexico and Canada and then charging the crap out of the American Consumer is moronic. I think making it America and charging a fair amount is way better than having to know the rip off that's happening. I can't wait for them to go back in place, and for the pause to be undone.
Exactly, make them here, and the consumer will buy them for slightly higher prices. And less transportation has to happen with the vehicles.
I am positive that they will.
I wonder how long it would take to ramp up that much production. I am referring to not only the factories, but the employees too. And how long for vendors to relocate or change logistics. My quick guess is 3-5 years. I would also assume we are about to see used vehicle prices go up as well as I assume demand for them will go up as new vehicles will be more expensive and harder to get. That sounds familiar.
