Yeah right, and they are a big problem. I haven’t encountered a single V1 super charger in Europe after 4 years.

I have only ever seen one in the US and it was surrounded by V2 and V3.

You will not have that problem with Tesla though. All chargers are 150kW+.

Tesla super chargers are €0,36 per kWh

Just to add: they should not be chained, but they should run in parallel.

The car indeed has mobile data. A Tesla has a permanent 4g connection.

Huh?! If I look at the source of the article at Mozilla, Tesla is actually ranked as almost least creepy.

So I do not understand where this is coming from. Also the picture of the article only showing teslas is highly suggestive

Hmm you’re right about autopilot mainly being used on highways and those roads are a lot safer. I’ll edit my main comment

Although it’s far from perfect, autopilot gets into a lot less accidents per mile than drivers without autopilot.

They have some statistics here: https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport

EDIT: As pointed out by commenters in this thread, autopilot is mainly used on high ways, whereas the crash average is on all roads. Also Tesla only counts a crash if the airbag was deployed, but the numbers they compared against count every crash, including the ones without deployed airbags.

Just wow.

I bet you do not live in The Netherlands. We have a standardized process to complain against a fine.

If the picture doesn’t prove with certainty that you were holding a phone, complain to the address in the letter or just don’t pay the €359 fine and talk to a judge about it.

The fine contains a letter, a picture and payment information. If the person really wasn’t using their phone, they can file a complaint and the fine will be dismissed. Seems pretty simple to me.

However, I have not heard any complaints about it in the news and an embarrassing amount of fines has been given for this offense.

You’re totally right.

There is a manual door handle, which is not supposed to be used.

Most guests in my car naturally tend to go for the manual handle instead of the button, when not instructed.

So the people who claim to be locked are either looking for money or are total dumbfucks.

You’re right about that. The software is quite epic, compared to other EV manufacturers, like BMW.

The route planning for 1000+ km road trips is almost perfect.

The system works with AI signaling phone usage by driving.

Then a human will verify the photo.

AI is used to respect people’s privacy.

The combination of the AI detection+human review leads to a 5% false negative rate, and most probably 0% false positive.

This means that the AI missed at most 5% positives, but probably less because of the human reviewer not being 100% sure there was an offense.

Just to clarify the result: the article states that AI and human review leads to 95%.

Could also be that the human is flagging actual positives, found by the AI, as false positives.

I suspect they sent through a controlled set of cars where they tested all kinds of scenarios.

Other option would be to do a human review after installing it for a day.

The system we use in NL is called “monocam”. A few years ago it caught 95% of all offenders.

This means that AI had at most 5% false negatives.

I wonder if they have improved the system in the mean time.

We have a couple of these cameras in The Netherlands.

We found it quite intrusive to look into people’s cars. Therefore the computer will flag photos, of possible offenses, and a person verifies them.

Unfortunately the movable camera has a huge lens and it’s reported to a waze-like app before they are even finished setting it up.

Although the manufacturing process might simplify, negative impact on our planet will most definitely increase.

The main reason is to be on the users Home Screen, just one tap away from being on the app. Also, push notifications, pulling people back into the app.

Also there is a security benefit. Phones are protected quite well, so it is safer to keep a user signed on the device and maybe only a PIN or biometrics in front of the app to open it. The apps run in an isolated space, making it even safer.

Lastly there can be a performance benefit. Websites are written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript which is compiled on demand, while apps can be written in languages which are pre-compiled.

This may be true for the Reddit app, but it’s definitely not true for most other apps. Tracking and selling data does not get easier with apps.
