Props to Benn Jordan for doing this a year ago on a slightly lower budget.

Bonus deep dive about using LiDAR to map out space mountain

[–] harryprayiv@infosec.pub 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn’t exactly call that a deep dive.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 21 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The channel is for 5-year-olds, they would drown in a real deep dive

[–] brrt@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Easy: „If you want to learn more check out our second channel where we explain in depth how we approached this topic, the technology used and what we learned.“

Im shocked Disney isnt thowing a fit over that. Their legal team must be busy this week.

[–] chetradley@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Getting into a legal battle with an immensely popular YouTuber would probably cost them a lot more in bad publicity than they would reasonably make from a lawsuit. I guarantee someone at Disney is doing or already has done the calculations.

Coming here because I saw how downvoted this post was on Reddit lol. I love that it's triggering the Elon fanboys.

[–] imvii@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Maybe it was downvoted because of Mormon weirdo Mark Rober and not the content itself?

[–] Jollyllama@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Based on comments it's the Tesla stans.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Is he a weirdo for being Mormon, or something else?

[–] Lukeazade@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah don't get me wrong I'm not a Mark Rober fan and I don't think he's making this video because he's anti Elon even, he's just making it because it's popular to hate Elon and Tesla at the moment. It happens to be a good thing, but unfortunately, I think Mark isn't doing it out of virtue.

[–] toolverine@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Who cares about virtue? I just want to be entertained by Tesla cheaping out and then telling drivers it's a premium car brand that will pay for itself with robo taxi services.

[–] imvii@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't think anything Rober does is out of virtue.

Insane that the telsa drives into spaces its unsure of. So dangerous

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

What makes you think it’s unsure?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

True its not unsure but it should be. If it doesn't have good viability it should have slowed down or disengaged auto pilot.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

In fog it doesn't know it doesn't have good visibility.

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

If it had lidar then it would

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Then it shouldnt work in fog and force the driver to drive.

Sure, but their sensors will detect if you aren’t paying enough attention and report back to Tesla headquarters to get the lawyers ready before you can even get out of your car.

[–] harryprayiv@infosec.pub 26 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

I’ve been shit-talking Elon’s (absolutely boneheaded) decision to intentionally eschew system-redundancy in systems that are critically responsible for human life for years now. Since he never missed an opportunity to show off his swastikar in MANY of his previous videos, I had assumed Mark Rober was a sponsored member of the alt-right intellectual dark web. But I’m pleasantly surprised to see that this video is a solid (WELL-justified) smear. 👌

Thank god it doesn’t have LIDAR sensors, much cheaper to repair the front this way

Tap for spoiler/s

[–] Sceptique@leminal.space 11 points 3 months ago

Ahah Tesla is like a 2000s knock-off of good existing technology

[–] sir_pronoun@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (6 children)

What about the claims that he only used Autopilot, and not Tesla's Full Self Driving?

(Context: I hate Tesla, just curious for the sake of an honest argument)

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 17 points 3 months ago (10 children)

Not any tangible difference in this scenario. Both use vision only. And both use the same computers.

The other car only used emergency breaking, so there's that.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He was helping out Tesla by doing that. He was helping them get the wins they got instead of just Tesla massacring the kid every time. Note to self: As a pedestrian and you see a tesla, don't cross the street.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I like to help a Tesla out by throwing it batteries, Philly style.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

"Full shelf driving" still needs to be in quotes. It's a feature's brand name for a product that doesn't actually have full self driving capabilities.

Try not to carry water for their attempted, repeated lie.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

All the other cars he tested stopped just fine. Who cares about fiddling with modes and shit.
