  1. Reuters: Why Tesla’s AI trainers don’t trust its self-driving tech – or its safety stats. “Tesla says its Full Self-Driving software is up to 10 times safer than human drivers. But the figures the company uses to support its claims don’t withstand scrutiny – and staffers who trained the technology say it isn’t close to safely delivering autonomous vehicles at scale.”

  3. Fizyka
    #PL #EN

    Jak codzień jadę sobie do roboty swoim wiernym wozem bojowym*.

    Mam w nim wizjer wielkość znaczka pocztowego, ograniczone pole widzenia, koła wielkości Spodka w Katowicach i masę wagonu Pudzianów.

    Nie pchaj się więc bez patrzenia na pasy tylko dlatego, że masz pierwszeństwo*.

    Fizyka najprawdopodobniej o tym nie wie, i tak jak ja nie chcę pójść siedzieć, tak ty nie chcesz być oglądany w mało twarzowym czarnym worku.

    *chociaż zdjęcie zrobiłem osobiście, to spokojnie tam, wszelkie szpicle, szpiegi, szumowiny i spytrole - wrażliwe metadane zdjęcia zmieniono lub usunięto.

    *tyczy się też czołgów, autobusów i riksz.

    Physics

    Every day I roll to work in my faithful armored battle wagon*.

    It’s got a viewport the size of a postage stamp, visibility measured in compromises, wheels the size of the Spodek arena in Katowice, and the mass of an entire freight car full of Pudzianowskis.

    So don’t just step onto a crosswalk without looking only because technically you’ve got the right of way*.

    Physics most likely hasn’t heard about that, and just like I don’t want to end up in prison, you probably don’t want to be seen in a rather unflattering black body bag.

    *Even though I personally took the photo, relax there, all you snoops, spies, scumbags and assorted busybodies — the image’s sensitive metadata has been altered or removed.

    *Also applies to tanks, buses, and rickshaws.

  4. Wanted to get out of house but not deal with heat/crowds so did a bit more #valeting

    Cleaned up #engine bay and tested against #WaterIngress - mechanic must have refreshed / checked seals on brake cylinder bulkhead (where water gets in) / or unblocked the drains (leaves and other muck stops them up) as I poured in 6 litres of water where rain would go and none of it got inside the #car

    Everyone will be happy to see this back on the road, there's more demand for #automatic #cars than manual ones from our current staff (many of them are from Commonwealth countries where #driving with #AutomaticGearboxes is more popular)

    Not the most refined but better than the other #Easytronic 'box in the other Corsa we had..
