Automotive Industry@discuss.tchncs.de•Toyota Owner Didn’t Know His Car Was Talking To Insurers Until He Saw His RatesEnglish
1·2 months agoI would assume it is not about the braking itself. However, if there is a crash, then it might interesting if there was a hard braking right before or not.

Automotive Industry@discuss.tchncs.de•Mercedes pauses Level 3 driving assistance – for nowEnglish
2·2 months agoSince Level 2 systems do not require expensive laser-based lidar sensors, unlike Level 3, the service can be offered at a considerably lower price.
That was always the tricky part: Level 3 feels nearly the same as top level 2 but is considerably more expensive. The difference between level 2 and 3 for the driver is essentially a legal one, not technical.
And it works just as well, if we reverse the roles:
🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨
🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨
🪨Human: There are 11 rocks.
Alien: Oh, you must be using base A. See, I use base 10.
Human: No, I use base 10. What is base A?
I use “m”. Here is how to set the default btw:
git config set --global init.defaultBranch m

Automotive Industry@discuss.tchncs.de•BMW CEO calls EU's 2035 combustion engine ban a ‘big mistake’, sees strong 2025 salesEnglish
1·6 months agoSo we transition to Ethanol or what? What climate-friendly fuels is he thinking about?

Automotive Industry@discuss.tchncs.de•Mercedes CEO calls for ‘reality check’, slamming EU combustion engine banEnglish
1·7 months agoI guess what they want is a smooth transition where they can devise a reliable plan until 2035 when to sell how many cars of what variant.
Worst case would be that they customers buy only ICE cars until 2035 and then nothing because of a ban. Then it makes no sense to build EVs until its too late.

7·7 months agoTesla is not self-driving, just SAE level 2. Mercedes is actually level 3.
Tesla wants to do it without LiDAR which seems hopeless to me.
Not sure about the “50 times safer” claim but a common mistake: Sober humans are much better drivers than humans in general (including drugged ones). Something like 100 times if I remember it correctly.
