  • That’s fascinating. Especially the rain part, because our Tesla’s driving assistant just does not work in bad weather. I cannot imagine how it is technical possible to get a camera-based system to work reliably in bad weather without some mechanism to keep the cameras clean. Our rear camera is basically unusable during winter unless we get out of the car and clean it every single time we need it.

    Thank you for your advise!



  • That’s possible, I’m comparing what I know.

    By the way, VW hasn’t just a lane keeping tech, the car is able to drive autonomous in standard situations. Our VW (build 2022) was far better than our Tesla (build 2023) in lane detecting, lane keeping, reading traffic signs (dven in the Netherlands), navigation, detecting city and village boundaries, detecting crossroads, keeping distance and following lanes in curves – the tesla tends to ignore the law of physics and to go to fast. Tesla is far better at detecting waste bins though. It detects every single wastebin there is anywhere within 3 m of the road. VW lacks autonomous overtaking, and it slows for traffic lights but does not stop for them when they are red, that’s two points for the Tesla. Though Tesla slows for traffic lights even when they are green.

    The VW was able to drive home from work almost autonomous – there were two crossings, one traffic light and one roundabout it needed my assistance. The Tesla would crash multiple times.

    The most annoying thing with the Tesla is that it does not cooperate with the driver. VW has a genuine assistant – the car drives, and when I correct it, the VW just smoothly accepts the correction and carries on. The Tesla just stops working anytime the driver intervenes.




  • We’ve got an Tesla and an Volkswagen ID3. Tesla’s charging planning is pretty good. Volkswagen’s driving assistants are vastly superior to Tesla’s (despite not being oversold as “autonomous driving”).

    IIRC, the first robotaxis are operated by companies owned by Google and General Motors, and the only car that has a licence for fully autonomous driving in Germany (up to 60 km/h, only on Autobahn) is a Mercedes.

    No, Tesla’s autonomous driving is not cutting edge.









  • legere (lat) to read => lectura (lat) the reading event => lecture (en) => lecturer (en) a person giving/hosting a reading event.

    A lecturer is supposed to read the text of a book to students so that they are able to write it down and obtain a copy of it for themselves.

    Books written by professional scribes are incredible expensive, and this new thing they established in Bologna in 1088 – the so called “universities” offering lectures will be a major breakthrough in the history of mankind to distribute knowledge!

    Good to know some professors still honour the only true way of teaching.
