To be fair... it used to literally say START on it. Now there's no indication whatsoever of that.

I find that 1.5 number amazingly hard to believe unless those engineers are never actually watching the vehicles while in use, in which case the number means absolutely nothing. The number of engineers per vehicle on staff means absolutely nothing if they aren't the ones monitoring them for issues while in use. You might as well say you have 50 employees per vehicle, including all office workers, executives, janitorial staff, etc. because it means nothing.

Given videos like this where there are dozens of them in complete chaos. Human intervention would easily clear that in a couple minutes, instead they just kept stacking up.

To be fair, like many cases, this again seems to be AFTER getting outside funding. And those external investors requiring a return that the company can't really achieve without going to these efforts.

Eh, there's more involved with a full storefront and content delivery compared to just a card transaction. But it's definitely not 30% worth of additional value.

No idea, and I doubt they'll ever publicly say.

Direct human intervention is definitely something other companies could be doing more of. Waymo especially given all the videos of them getting stuck, sometimes en masse.

Good. That's what every creator should expect. If anything, that was optimistic.

Even then, Kickstarter success does not mean overall success. You still have to deliver a good product in the end.

Remote human intervention when automated systems fail should be expected and required to be honest with current technology. There are simply too many edge cases in the real world, even with the trillions of miles Tesla has trained their system on.

Hey, there are those of us that work in IT Support and know EXACTLY where the average user ends. It's just about the capabilities and reading comprehension of a 5th grader.

Nah see they've got one of those fancy dual air dryers in the picture. One side is clearly for food and the other for beverages.

Your friendly reminder that the Mars rover main cameras are only 2MP. They probably have better quality sensors though.

I miss when unqualified individuals were only given these Amabassadorial positions, not things like Attorney General and Head of the FBI.
