There is a certain subset of Tesla owners who have this belief that features in certain Tesla vehicles are completely novel to Teslas and other auto manufacturers haven't even considered them. They can often be identified by how they refer to them as "dinosaurs".
Adjustable ride height? Miraculous. Meanwhile my car is mapping the road surface, actively leaning into corners and following road camber, actively avoiding potholes, and adjusting the suspension, including ride height, constantly.
Traffic Sign Recognition, including recognizing school zones, and recognizing active school zones.
Adaptive blind spot - so nice. Speed differential low, or you're going faster? Will not activate, or only activate last moment. But if someone is blowing by you in the HOV lane, it will warn of them when they're still several hundred feet back.
Laser headlights. Matrix headlights. Night vision with thermal imaging.
Predictive active suspension - The car actively scans the road ahead with sensors and it will adjust suspension for poorer road conditions.
The car can not just stop, but will actively swerve, if safe, around obstructions to avoid a collision, or even a parked car opening a door into traffic.
In my opinion it isn't useful at all because if the only thing you can get into a spot is a vehicle with 4-wheel steering, you have already fucked up your site planning. You aren't going to be delivering materials with that thing, bulk materials are too heavy and light materials are too large. Maybe tools, but it isn't that large to be a tool truck and too expensive for small handyman type work.
Thanks for posting that, I watched a couple minutes of it and it suggests that the cybertruck has a really good turning radius, and it was able to drive on a go-kart track.
The audiobook Spark by Dr. John Ratey, psychiatrist is a great listen with a bunch more evidence based arguments to support that exercise is better then drugs for depression.
I highly recommend the audiobook as it is read by him and he is very enthusiastic about his research.
The one quote I remember from the book is that he stopped prescribing Prozac and started prescribing treadmills...
It's in my top 15 books that changed my worldview.
Some key highlights:
1. In 2001 fit kids scored twice as well on academic tests as their unfit peers.
2. German researchers found that people learn vocabulary words 20 percent faster following exercise than they did before exercise, and that the rate of learning correlated directly with levels of BDNF.
3.Specifically, every fifty minutes of weekly exercise correlated to a 50 percent drop in the odds of being depressed.
For those starting out, I recommend going into settings and only choosing the key of C major, which is all the white keys. Then advance onto more keys after that.
One improvement that would help me a lot is to control the playback speed. My brain needs to start a bit slower as some of the sequences are fairly fast for my brain right now.
I'm confident I can do anything with enough time. But I only have so much.
AI is going to enable so many more ideas to come to fruition and a better world because of it!
