@RbdLabStudio Can you add Anisotropy and Anistropic direction in #matplus or isn't it possible?

@luisvoronov Really appreciate you spending time making tutorials for Matplus. I'll have to watch with subs on

@nickwakenc @EthanHe_42 FSD is the main reason to own a Tesla. If the price steadily rises, it is making the entire car almost a subscription with no way out of it unless you keep paying. Oh and if you do lose your car if fully paid, you'd have to fork out whatever the cost is at that point...

Stop. You sound retarded. $8000. Car wrecked? Lost it. Car traded in? Lost it. It doesn't transfer—so show loyalty by buying a new Tesla? Lost it. Even if it did transfer, 1/3 of people lose it because they don't get another Tesla. Oh, and Tesla removes permanent FSD from used inventory so they can get the next owner to subscribe. It's worth $0 resale. Average retention time: 4-5 years. That's $133-$166/mo. HTH are all you fanboys convincing yourself that in 2-4 years when EVERYBODY is level 4, FSD is somehow going to be worth MORE money? Why are you buying $50k-$110k vehicles with no guarantee that you're not going to be priced completely out of the one feature you really want? The CEO has flat-out told you that's EXACTLY what he intends to do. Put the glass down and step away from the Kool-Aid.

FSD one-time purchase is a good investment as subscription fee will rise.

@elonmusk Knew it. I just hope you continue to offer the bought solution in the UK as we haven't got anything of the sort yet

I should also mention that the $99/month for supervised FSD will rise as FSD’s capabilities improve. The massive value jump is when you can be on your phone or sleeping for the entire ride (unsupervised FSD).

@AIDRIVR Why though? Why not just increase the cost over time. For myself living in the UK, FSD is still £6k and isn't yet fully functional so purchasing it isn't much use yet would be in a couple years. I'd also opt for a Hardware 4 when prices drop too

called it - just 1.5 years early I still stand by my belief that outright FSD buyers should have a permanent transfer option some paid ~15 years worth of subscription on HW3 vehicles. they’re the ones who paved the way for what FSD is today

@0xChainsmoker @elonmusk Makes a good point lol

@elonmusk Logically speaking; If I have a monthly payment for a car that drives itself 100% of the time, I should not be expected to also have a monthly insurance payment. Any crash would be inherently the fault of the car's FSD / the other party involved; not me Just sayin

Tesla will stop selling FSD after Feb 14. FSD will only be available as a monthly subscription thereafter.

@pltanner @Tesla_NL_TR @ArthurFromX I think you misunderstood me. I've always been taught to create space. I wouldn't have been anywhere near the side of that truck. I'd have been behind it with space to spare. Glad it wasn't FSD as I'd like to see how it'd drive in that scenario too. Hopefully wouldn't get close

@iKage_01 @Tesla_NL_TR @ArthurFromX The Tesla wasn’t driving. Teaching tesla to avoid being near trucks would be stupid.

This idiot forced me off my lane today with my kids in the car. I have submitted an official complaint to his company. This kind of driving is not acceptable. $TSLA @ArthurFromX

@elonmusk This isn't a good idea at all. I was waiting for a hardware 4 car to become cheap enough to purchase in the UK and would have purchased FSD as part of the loan agreement. Especially since FSD isn't here yet. I wouldn't have opted for subscription

@johnalister_ @raines1220 Sloth will still drive to the max speed allowed. It just won't go over it. Any profile should slow down in hazardous conditions, regardless

@raines1220 This is a good reminder to set your speed profile to Chill or Sloth in adverse conditions like this, just to be extra safe. Tesla's software might still react and drive well, but setting it to a lower speed profile can only help in situations like this, not hurt

Around 00:11–00:12, the car started to lose traction. At 00:13, FSD made the first counter-steering attempt, and the speed increased from 64 to 65 mph, which was very likely caused by wheel spin under hydroplaning. Between 00:13–00:14, FSD made a second counter-steering attempt, but the steering angle was not large enough. As a result, the vehicle’s heading deviated significantly and recovery became essentially impossible. Around 00:14–00:15, the human driver took over (already too late) and braked hard, which caused the vehicle to spin and crash. First, I assume that for a 2025 Model 3, it was most likely running FSD v14. This means the issue is observed on the recent version of FSD and therefore cannot be dismissed as merely a problem of outdated software. Second, in my opinion, FSD was very likely at fault. The most important contributing factor was that the speed was probably too high, around 64 mph. The recommended safe speed in such conditions is usually around 45 mph, and even 50–55 mph might have led to a very different outcome. FSD v14 should have had enough visual information to detect standing water, so this is very likely a training issue. The system likely needs more targeted training to learn that it must slow down significantly in these situations (in advance). It also should not imitate human driving behavior here, because most human drivers do not slow down enough in such conditions, and this habit is not worth learning. As a safety redundancy, even after hydroplaning had already occurred, FSD should still have been able to attempt recovery through proper counter-steering. However, based on the video, the second counter-steering input was very likely too small, which led to an unrecoverable state, after which the human driver no longer had a realistic chance to save the vehicle.

@ArthurFromX @treyeshua @TesCamStudio You would think that if it was going into a spin, a self driving autonomous car with super reflexes should be able to easily counteract it, or am I wrong?

A serious incident shared by @treyeshua: his 2025 Model 3 loses control in wet freeway conditions, spins, and impacts the center median. The vehicle was totaled. He kindly allowed me to analyze the footage in @TesCamStudio, which confirms FSD was active. Glad he walked away from this. It’s a reminder that traction and conditions remain critical variables.

@Teslaconomics I mean, in Waymos defence, it isn't about the use of Lidar, it is in the training data. A Waymo seems to see an off light and presume they can't go? No idea. Still think Lidar is a false errand though for future driving

I realize more and more that there is such a thing as dumb person in life. “Turn off the lights and vision fails, LiDAR keeps working” may sound logical in theory, but the Waymo SF power outage really just disproved it. During the recent San Francisco power outage, Waymo’s entire LiDAR-heavy robotaxi fleet went offline. Literally the entire fleet just stopped operating. Meanwhile, all Tesla Robotaxis kept running! Tesla’s vision-based system is trained on billions of miles, neural nets, and, most importantly, doesn’t require a city to be perfectly powered to function. An alien UFO could land in the middle of nowhere with the entire city blacked out and it will still work. Humans don’t drive with lasers. We drive with our eyes, we process what we see with our brain, and then we react with our body. Tesla does the same thing, except the brain is AI, trained on billions of real-world miles. Tesla’s Vision system learns the world as it is, adapts in real time, and improves continuously and is NOT dependent on special maps, perfect lighting, or city-by-city infrastructure like LiDAR. That’s why it scales. With a simple software update, Tesla’s Vision AI can operate anywhere instead of just where the environment was pre-approved or carefully controlled like LiDAR. This is how generalized real-world autonomy gets solved. I believe this will be obvious in hindsight.

@JordanEVGuy I don't mind the front end; It's the back end I don't like the look of

Nobody could have predicted the Nissan Leaf being one of the best looking cars on the road.

@SawyerMerritt Lidar has never been the answer

NEWS: U.S. based Lidar-maker Luminar has just filed for bankruptcy. Luminar Technologies was a maker of lidar sensors for self-driving cars. Last month, Volvo decided to remove the Luminar lidar sensors from its EX90 and ES90 cars and discontinue its relationship after Luminar’s failure to meet its contractual obligations.

@gleb_alexandrov Amazing! Only time I've ever seen it is with Octanes texture displacement which may work the same way. Didn't know you could implement the same in Eevee.

@iKage_01 no, this plane has 1 poly

Parallax occlusion mapping is another really interesting EEVEE thing. We haven't managed to fit it in the 1st version of the course - yet each time I see it, it gets me thinking. There's a lot of potential in it (it also runs *extremely* fast)😶‍🌫️ #b3d

@hamids *hands up*. Isn't needed. Tesla has proven that. Your conclusion in 3 basically says it all. Additional sensors are not needed (i.e Lidar)

Why are $TSLA people so anti LiDar!? I’ve never met a more closed-minded group of people in my life! Here are the facts: 1) Waymo has the best self driving record on the planet. And they use lidar. 2) Elon made the decision to eliminate Tesla’s radar and rely solely on vision about 5 or 6 years ago, prior to the new AI neural net approach to the system. Back then, the concern of “what do you do if the sensors tell you to do different things?” was a legit concern. Today, “sensor fusion” is how the input is translated by AI systems, eliminating that concern. The analogy is that additional sensors, like your ears, augment your brains ability to drive even better. They don’t make it worse. Nobody asks “what if your ears tell you to go and eyes tell you to stop” 3) if you’re waiting for Elon to admit additional sensors COULD be helpful, that might never happen because there are millions of Teslas on the road without additional sensors and he’s been selling FSD based on vision-only for a long time. His only option is to double down and make it work with vision only. And I believe he’ll be able to. But that doesn’t mean additional sensors are bad.
