This happened to me "IRL". Some programmers at a lunch wondered, "If everyone only had one child, how long would it take for humanity to just be one person left?" I instinctively said "about 33 generations, depending on how you count it". They had no idea how I did that :(

Replacement rate is 2.1, so roughly 31 generations, but let’s try to avoid this!

That sounds so similar to me being given that same question, with my answer being, "The inevitable heat death of the universe."

Hey @ConsumerReports, over 40 million Americans admit to falling asleep behind the wheel at least once a year.
When are you going to test which cars handle such emergencies safely?
Or do your corporate sponsors, such as the Ford Foundation, "discourage" such safety tests? 🤔

Reason we hustled so much to get Autopilot V1 out was that someone driving non-Autopilot Tesla fell asleep, crashed & killed cyclist (Tesla driver was uninjured).
Driver nonetheless sued us saying new car smell made him fall asleep (sigh). Judge didn’t agree.

Indeed. Grid fin designs clearly work, but do they maximize payload? Good chance that they do not.
Something with much more drag to reduce terminal velocity & so reduce landing propellant might have better performance. Not sure.
Potential future optimization.

There is always a lot of cleanup after a major code release. Beta 9.2 will be tight.
Still some fundamentals to solve for Beta 10, but now that we’re pure vision, progress is much faster. Radar was holding us back.

The Tesla AI predictions are swiftly becoming superhuman – its guesses for what it can’t see well feel like ESP. It has a vastly larger training set than any human & thinks only about driving.

the amount of issues that have been fixed between fsd beta 1 and fsd beta 9.1 is just mind blowing
Hope the team is very proud of themselves. Just doing my usual drives and thinking back on all the previous issues that are now completely eliminated $TSLA @elonmusk

Is there a render of how the catch of the booster will work?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jul 31, 2021
Will post once we have a decent simulation. Our first design will probably be far from the bullseye.

Stage Zero, which is everything needed to launch & catch the rocket, is at least as hard as the booster or ship

What sort of computer do you use by the way? Always wondered if you had a massive custom-built machine or preferred a more contemporary sleek workstation.

The path planning line seems less jumpy in this build. Still not crazy about how slowly it pulls out onto 50mph roads. It needs to commit and then get on the throttle!

Looks like non-folding Grid Fins on BN4, guessing this is a case of Best part is no part. Is this accurate @elonmusk ?
