Guy whose cars run into stopped fire trucks thinks he’s an expert on computer vision.
Someone died because one of those cars thought the broadside of a white semi trailer was the sky and drove under it
They also sometimes lock people inside and burn them to death.

It is especially important to understand that Tesla’s struggles with navigation are entirely a result of Elon refusing to equip them with LiDAR. This isn’t some “The tech is really new and really complicated and we’re still figuring it out” problem. There is a very good solution to most collision avoidance scenarios, but Elon refuses to let them use it because he’s an idiot.
But was it a “stealthy” fire truck??
Yes, but the car only had enough low-light cameras but not enough rudimentary AI
Speaking of fire trucks has anyone here ever read the emergency response procedures for teslas in severe accidents? When I was a volunteer we gave it a look over.
If I remember right, Depending on the model they recommend up to 8,000 gallons (~30k liters) to keep an overheating battery’s temp stable in case of fire or exposure to high heat. I’ll link the resource page here.
Our engine holds 700 gallons (5.2k liters) and the typical tanker in our area holds 2,000 (7.5k liters)
That’s a house fire level response for a single electric vehicle. Just getting that much water moved to a scene would be challenging. We have tankers, but how many city departments can move that much water? You don’t see hydrants on highways. And foam is not effective like it is for normal car fires. The future will be interesting for firefighters.
30,000 liters is 30m^3, which is a back yard swimming pool full of water.
Now imagine a house on fire with a tesla in the garage or multiple vehicle accidents. Now you need that much more
Now imagine having to use 30,000 litres of water for every Tesla/EV on fire while facing extreme drought conditions caused by global warming.
lookin at you Cali
For those doing the maths at home:
An F35 who obligingly flies top-towards-you (not exactly something you can do, but hey, maybe they’re turning) is all of 10m tall.
An AIM-120C can very comfortably hit a target at 100km.
At that range, the F-35 takes up 26 arcseconds, or 0.007 degrees. That’s roughly about the size of this period, at a distance of 3 meters away.
[ . ]
Good luck spotting that in a sky of roughly the same colour, full of other objects.
You can place cameras anywhere, they don’t need to be right next to what is being targeted. Nearer ranges will allow AI to misidentify at much higher rates than max standoff ranges of an AIM-120C.
I don’t think you were getting enough credit for ‘misidentify’.
Sir, our air defence is down!
Is it hackers?
No sir, it’s cloudy.
Looks like being rich and surrounding yourself with yes-people is the #1 cause of sitting confidently at the top of the Dunning-Krueger curve.
He’s riding that curve like one of those surfing dogs.
He isn’t smart. He’s just a narcissist that lives deep in the warm embrace of Dunning-Kuger
Says the guy that produces AND designed the cyber truck
Dude’s brain is shit design and fucking sucks, actually
FTFY
In the long term maybe he has a point. In the short term the other guys are often using a radar built in 1985 and displaying to a ray tube.
But also, how far can low light sensitive cameras see into the sky? Maybe a couple miles with some sort of telescopic optics? The F35 can attack from beyond visual range using its 100 mile range radar system.
If a fighter jet is within visual range of a camera, it’s already too late. And that’s if there aren’t any clouds.
your not thinking like a musk, not if the government pays the subscription and contract for his early warning camera drone balloon swarm thing or something something they could run on ketamine or something.
imagine it Smithers my electrical spy drones running all day long! and on the government dime!
Jesus christ … this dude is a fucking moron… if it WAS easy defense companies would be doing it already… and guess what, they aren’t. Between this dickhead and Captain Brainworm the next four years are gonna SUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!
I mean, in comparison to some of the F-22 variants, the F-35 is a pretty big piece of shit.
That VERY much depends on mission requirements. The F35 has issues, but calling it a big piece of shit shows that you’re an internet troll who has no idea what it’s talking about
No, the designers will tell you the same. It’s a compromise, it’s not perfect at anything but it’s very good at most of it’s intended purposes. It’s that old addage don’t let perfect be the enemy of great.
Don’t get me wrong I still think it’s smiling idiot twin is the cooler plane.
