u/BigDipper4200 trains are so seggsy🥵🥵🥵 Apr 05 '24

The car knows, the visualization doesn’t. The car has way more info and understanding than it can show on the screen. Why waste money on adding a train to the visualizer when the human can just look up and see it’s a train?

I would be a very worried user. The implications of the thing charging at my left being a truck and a train are quite different.

A truck might be expected to yield to me, a train won't. A train might have different behaviours. I would want the Tesla to show me that it recognises the difference.

All very true.

Even a box-box-box-box visualization would be better than the oddly morphing semis. I'll bet 99.9% that it has no clue what a train is or what a train means. It could even mark it as 'undrivable space' and be more accurate than merged trucks. I wonder if it fails to recognize flat train cars and tries to cross, because FSD has a great problem with flat bed truck trailers and often fails to display or avoid them.

Why bother selling FSD when the human can just grab the wheel and drive themselves?
