This is part of Tesla's plan to transition to a vision-only system:

Right on, this might be a great move.

Though radar is a powerful technology. Two camera's with the right depth sensing software behind it could do a lot. What about light source though? Camera's with great light sources provide a super powerful technology, but what are you going to do in the dark/rain? Then again, camera's are cheaper and can do better in some conditions with (semi)reflective surfaces. It's all up in the air, but making sense of the world in a moving object with constantly changing scenery and multiple other vehicles/cyclists/foot traffic moving around.

I think the argument they make is quite interesting, with vision (our eyes) we do anything and everything in the car. Therefore, camera's are like eyes so they should give comparable performance. The fact is that the dynamic range of the eye is insane and no commercial camera can currently even come close to it. Once that technology is there, (which is physically impossible with the current sensor tech) I'd agree with them.


their decision to sell their auto kill software at all kills people. but they don’t care. as long as elon gets his pumps


This is correct. Tesla’s MO is implementing the “move fast and break things” methodology on real human beings in safety-critical situations. I don’t understand how anyone can support this. It should be illegal.

I own a Model 3 and it will be my last Tesla.


its a shame because its a solid car if they didnt focus on all the lies, bad business practices, killing people etc and instead just focused on making it cheaper and better.


Versus Ghost: Over time, I think Proseful will steadily set itself apart due to different ideas, opinions and target audience. Since I've kept it basic for the MVP, there's not much at the moment. Open-source Ghost is targeting a much different type of user, as is hosted Ghost with a price point starting at $29-36/month.


I didn't get around to RSS for the MVP, but it's definitely going in–I want it for my personal blog. Consider me old-fashioned too.


This is my first foray into SaaS. The price is purely based on what I'd personally be willing to pay; I'm actually paying for my personal blog. I'm hoping to add more value over time, and of course will experiment with price as I get more feedback and insight into what a fair price is.


Thanks! Individual blogs for now. I'd like to focus on making a great blogging/writing experience first.


I actually hope you don't go the route of Medium! Good luck, I'll show this to a few of my friends who have been looking for a new blogging platform.


Much appreciated!
