    Perplexitys methods are bad but the concept of a natural language web browser is a completely unique thing and thats interesting to me. Its like when google enabled people to search “how to change a tire” instead of before where people searched with keywords.

    Idk how you can say self driving tech is not cool. Even the worst self driving which is Tesla’s is still very impressive. Telsa can drive autonomously through the street using only cameras. Is it perfect no but its still very good and its only a joke because of how good the competition is. That gives me a lot of hope for self driving cars.

    As for that Chinese robot dog yeah I see the video that got put out, I dont think it blows away Boston dynamics version in anything but manufacturing costs. All the falling and all terrain movement the Chinese dog can do has been done by Boston dynamics for almost 5 years at this point.

      Self driving tech is cool. Tesla’s take on Self Driving is not cool because it’s not effective.

      Telsa can drive autonomously through the street using only cameras.

      Sorta… a bit… in a way that will lead to an accident sooner or later. If they put LIDAR on their cars it would be far more effective, but Musk wants to be different. He insists on only using cameras even though you can’t safely do self-driving with only cameras. Typical Musk, cutting corners and lying.

        Yeah its dumb to not use lidar and elon musk sucks but the cars can self drive without a doubt. That self driving is impressive even if waymo is already doing taxi services with near perfect driving for the past few years.

          the cars can self drive without a doubt

          So can my sister’s car for a few seconds if you put the cruise control on. But it can’t self-drive safely, and neither can Teslas. But, my sister’s car doesn’t advertise the ability to self-drive. But, Musk pretends that Telsas can, which is extremely dangerous. He’s killing people by muddying the waters and pretending his cars can self-drive safely.
