Interesting article related to rev predictions.

Tesla Robotaxi Expansion And Global Sales Rebound Test Long Term Thesis https://share.google/U8vDs0QCZbuJAYkXy

Seems to have a free cash flow drop next year. Which isn't really clear why. But despite that predicts revenue growth.

Key callouts being robotaxi. Ties into previous discussions.

You didn't say cars though. You said "stuff" and specifically referred to "safety", which the FSD product ultimately falls under, right?

Here's a snippet of your post for reference.

Has Ireland fallen behind?

Yes, we are behind the countries in the EU that have already approved it and i'm not aware of any imminent announcement that it is to be approved soon.

That infers they've advanced.

Something which is not yet clear.

I think il email the minister for communications or finance not sure which. Id like Samsung wallet activated on my Samsung phone , but it doesn't operate in Ireland. We're well behind the curve of advanced nations with this feature.

Im bulling about this for last few years. Nightmare ! It'd be so handy for me .

Of course I may.

It was however tested in Netherlands,not in ireland entirely different location and side of road. So I think il stick with my reservations of your determination of advanced.

I'd expect you to call me a time wasting idiot tbh. And I'd expect you'd do just that if you weren't interested in fsd at all .

Why ? Because it's not their remit to be doing this. He's already said publicly who's looking into it, yet that for you and the other lad isn't good enough and you want to stick your oar in. That's mad stuff on any measure.

Most of the time, there is no answer from ministers or their staff to emails sent. If there is, it's generic trash.

Is protest also unnecessary interference? Sending an email is just communicating what a person wants, same as a protest and much less disruptive and time consuming.

Sure, once the politicians are elected, they can do as they please. Without feedback, how are they to know what the people want? In my experience, they really only open their ears when the ballots are around the corner.

Hold on there Lad! I haven't sent any emails, so don't be putting words in my mouth.

And the minister has powers to move things along, so why pretend that its out of his hands?

Buddy. I don't need to sit down and watch you do you your image processing to know that it doesn't take a lot for the vehicle to navigate left, or right side. I've driven here in Ireland and in mainland Europe with HW3 and the vehicle (M3 at the time) performed just as well on both sides of the road. You can leave the condescension out of your comments. It doesn't promote cordial conversation and this is usually when you start confusing who said what. Take a breath.

Not trying to be condescending. But you don't understand the dynamics of image processing at all.

I work in this space we operate between hardware manufacturers and end of line processing and delivery to user. We have scenarios specifically with US where the AI analysis of video footage fails because some of their vehicles (large commerical industrial machines) have the driver sitting dead in the center of the vehicle and camera the same. Not left or right like traditional equipment in the same industries.

The level of complexity in this space is above your current knowledge set. That's not being condescending I'm trying to explain in some context why. And I hope that example shows how.

We have to rewrite firmware and remodel the entire analysis on device and off it , to solve for that scenario.

Perhaps you're not trying, but you are being.

While I don't understand in any depth the nature of image processing and the complexities within, I can extrapolate from my own industry knowledge and say that not all systems are build equally and having multiple camera feeds to work from makes the problem of driving on the left, very similar to driving on the right. Perhaps relying on a single camera causes problems that a vehicle with multiple cameras can more easily overcome. I'm not saying autonomous driviving sytems (supervised or not) is easy. I know it's extraordinarily difficult. What I am saying is that if Tesla have come this far with self driving products, then its fair to say that they have solved for driving on both sides of the road.

In my own industry, there are machines that need to be manually taught everything. Every move, every position, every command to several points. There are other machines that use the exact same sensors and hardware, but the SW is different. You need only teach it to a single point, or two and it then knows the rest. The difference is SW that enables a robot for example to choose to interact with something on the left, or something on the right.

Actually this is condescending. Your entire last paragraph is condescending.

It simple reads as 'your experience is nonsense' 'ive made my mind up of how this works with no insight and this is how it works it's software sure'.

And I'm called arrogant! By posters on here. What levels of arrogance to assume something is this simple with zero real world experience.

@ghost if you want to read it do if you don't don't. This isn't meant to talk down to you . I went and grabbed my work laptop to grab links to papers we give grads and senior leadership related to the complexity involved in image processing

1. Grads are interested in it as it's cutting edge so want entry understand
2. Leadership because they consistently want to know what something can't be expanded quickly and done 'next week'.

Once again I'm not directing you to do anything just trying to be helpful with understanding complex architecture and workflows.
