Tesla FSD 11.4: It's time for those who doubted the Tesla AI team to apologize and admit they were wrong

We are talking about full street driving not just highway lane changing.



Are you sure Dongfeng’s self-driving cars are the above one and not one of these:

Those you selected are not for commercial passenger use.

China has had buses and many other forms of road vehicles that are completely autonomous operating, being used since 2018. Most of those bus types were relegated to special areas and roads sure but now there are robot taxis operating in usual city roads. However those do use LIDAR rather than machine vision like Tesla.

As for autonomous vehicles that are commercial passenger cars:

Nio has been doing it for years and been available for purchase and use since 2018. Some examples of test runs by others shared on youtube:






Nio's old system shown there above. More basic that the later LIDAR based ones currently in use and on sale.

Huawei has their own OS and FSD ecosystem that they cooperate with some carmakers. For example this one with AVATR 11.


Xpeng, Nio, Huawei, FAW (Hongqi), Zeekr, Voyah, Li Auto, Leap Motor, AITO, Seres, Geely, Changan, GAC, and a dozen more I'm not familiar with and can't remember off the top of my head, all use some form of FSD capability from L2 to L4, most of them are L3. A few of those use nVidia chips.

All of them as far as I'm aware do not apply machine vision which Tesla uses. The machine vision is certainly more difficult and impressive but Tesla is still developing it in testing. Yes LIDAR method is faster solution and less technically impressive (but still amazing) but so far only US and China are in this race. Others are simply buying componentry or entire ecosystem from various developers and suppliers.

Yes there are other threads about commercial autonomous vehicles like Waymo which have been open to the public since 2018.



But this thread is about non-commercial regular consumer vehicles

Full-self driving available to NIO owners since 2018?

You sure about that? This talks about in 2020 only a system that can handle highways


Maybe you should dbl-check.

I think the only Chinese company that has released any street self-driving to customers is XPeng and that was like a month ago.


Tesla’s FSD beta has been available to all Tesla owners in North America since November 2022 (~400,000 possible users). Before that only selected people could use it since October 2020.

Kashmiri-American Omar Qazi takes FSD for a spin

Remember this car is driving using only computer vision, AI, and Garmin quality maps. No pre-calculated road maps...all dynamically interpreted.

No hands needed on steering wheel. Camera inside car watches the eyes of the driver to make sure they are alert.
It's great on a road with light traffic. What would it do if the traffic light fails, a large sheet of newspaper flys across it, or a bright light glares at the camera, heavy snow, heavy rain, pot hole in the road, can it make judgement calls beyond it's programming etc. It would be good as a driving assistant, wouldn't give it full control.

It warns the user to take over if conditions are getting bad. If no user interaction it does what people do in situations like a white out and pulls over and stops.

It eventually should be able to do as much as a person can do with only eyesight.
 
One man in Pakistan got an excellent deal for Tesla Model S P75D through PakWheels. His video reveals how advanced Tesla is. He pointed out that German cars have top notch finishing but Tesla is most advanced and capable. This car impressed even his grand mother and she is not easily impressed.

Tesla is revolution.

will it be able to spot an oil slick on the road
 
If your eyes can identify an oil slick in the road the Tesla’s eyes should too eventually. This is why LIDAR isn’t going to solve the last 5% of the problems.
There are lots of things eyes can't solve hence a lot of fatal accidents :(
