Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Rollout with Quinn of @snazzy

When is linus coming? This was very enjoyable. Quinn is the man.

I think your safety score is actually more of the vehicle’s safety score. It’s based more on the environment around the car. Tesla wants to ensure that the car that has the FSD is in a relatively safe environment. That’s why people cutting you off dings “your” safety score as they don’t want to put FSD into that environment until it’s ready. Per Quinn’s example, putting FSD in Kansas is much better than putting it in New York.

I will admit I saw this on Reddit, but I definitely agree with it. The safety score is not all about judging you as a driver. It is about an analysis of you AND your driving environment. Yes, you may HAVE to brake quickly when people cut you off, and you may get FCW if another driver does something dumb. But that is a reflection on your driving conditions, which can increase your accident chance especially if the car is driving itself. And that is what Tesla cares about. They don't want FSD released in difficult conditions first; they would rather have people driving down straight farm roads in Kansas start, then trickle down to more and more complex situations where collision chances are higher. That way they get to add more and more information as time goes on.

"and then they'll all be on one floor together 😊" i lost it 😂

Instead of astro going into a compartment in your fridge to get a drink maybe Amazon or third parties could design a mini-fridge around astro that would allow it to get drinks without human intervention. That sounds like a more reasonable thing to me.

I really like watching these podcasts as i get to learn something new every week and it is fascinating that tech is so diverse.

That was an EXTREMELY fun video to watch. He was really cool! Gonna check out his channel. Liked this week much better than the space race video last week

It seems the Amazon folks started with the premise 'Lets make a robot on wheels that would be cool' and worked backwards from there. Hopefully it's usecase is more defined over time

love this show, but damn its nice to see Quinn in here! get more snazzy more often!

Safety score is not the judgment on the driver. It’s an assessment of car’s overall safety, driver is just one aspect of it. Your local area driving patterns, weather conditions, road conditions etc also contribute to how safe your car is. Tesla is concerned about the probability of accidents and safe driving is just one part of the equation.

Interesting! Nice video ✌️

I honestly LOVE my Roborock S4 robot vaccum. I got it 2 years ago for $350 and it is the most perfect little robot. They have newer ones (more pricey) ones that do a decent job mobbing in addition to vaccuming and also have a pricey dock thay makes managing it even easier. It's super smart and has lots of features like no-go zones for areas that get the robot stuck like high carpets or separations in the floor and won't throw itself down stairs, lol. If you could just add a camera to that and the same security features described for the astro like checking on a noise before heading back to its dock, then I'd already be set. Don't need it to do anything else :P

That intro is everything

Come on YouTube...why am I getting the notification 1 week later.... Great interview!

Three points: 1) The reason why you had to slam on the breaks or follow too close doesn’t matter. You were in a position that was higher risk. The goal is to use the lowest risk people first. Whether it is based on location or driving style it doesn’t matter. 2) It’s still beta and the fastest way to get past the beta to use the safest drivers first, not the loudest who paid first or the most. 3) The cost of FSD wasn’t $10k in 2015. It was cheaper with less features and increased as more features have become accessible.

This episode is about Andrew asking for a payrise "I really like the Rivian but I can't afford it" wink wink

The phenomenon of seeing something everywhere that Marquez was talking about in a minute 44 is when your reticular cortex is turned on toward that thing. Like seeing electric trucks everywhere

Astro, get me a beer. Amazon: you have been cut off...

The Safety Score is about both (A) how safe of a driver are you? and (B) how challenging is the environment in which you're driving? You can be a safe driver, but if you're navigating I-95 commute traffic into NYC each day, you'll never have a high safety score. If you live in a rural town with no intersections and straight roads with little traffic, it's super easy to have a high score. Tesla is covering their asses with this Safety Score, too.

30:00 Welcome to the world of supervised fleet driving. Every mile is monitored for speed, handling, braking regardless of the conditions that surround that moment. I added a dash cam in the event these metrics are applied negatively towards me or in the case of a collision. My regular driving score floats between 96-98/100. My negative hits are usually speed but anyone that’s driven I-95 knows the speed limit is uh, more like guidelines.
