> The parking sensors on the Tesla are really good and very useful. They show a rough outline of what is around you and are displayed very nicely compared to some other cars. It is a real shame to remove this,

Perhaps the occupancy network is a good replacement? You're characterizing this as if Tesla Vision won't ever be able to replace it: "impossible to detect obstructions occluded from view by the hood".

What if the neural net persists where everything in the world is, and can extrapolate where objects are as the car moves? Then it's better than cameras, blind spots would actually be reduced.

I agree it's a dick move to remove it on cars that were already ordered though. Very Tesla.



I mean how do we know they’re not going to just staple human eyes and brains to the car and then it’ll be way better than what’s on the market today?

Why dream up hypotheticals of how this is good when it’s actually just… bad?


What happens when a small object rolls into that blindspot? What happens when the car goes into deep sleep and the AP computer state is lost? Reloading all those nets takes like 40 seconds on startup from deep sleep.
