Always the same, push to the outside and force the other driver to crash or bail. Usually with a net “advantage” gained, over and over the same unsportsmanlike tactic. It’s really a pity that one of the fastest drivers is unable to compete fairly and is just not fun to watch.
And the Verstappen Move strikes again 🕺
You mean the iPad standalone and purely touch interface or with attached keyboard and mouse? Pretty sure that - with physical keyboard - Cmd+T opens a tab with focus on address bar, but I don’t have my iPad with me right now to test this
Perez is so slow, slowing down on an outlap is not enough to let him through

That was a PHEV
Western companies joined the slave labor train. Apart from niche and boutique manufacturers, almost any product has a lot of parts produced in China.
No I think the level 3 is only available in selected countries, roads and speeds. It’s called Drive Pilot and it’s not the one they are using in the video.
You got me here, wasn’t even aware that the Mercedes system is officially a level 2 with Steer Control that is supposed to do much better than seen in the video. I still think they should have compared with the more basic Autopilot, though, as this is what consumer report evaluated and the safety problems of Tesla’s lack of driver monitoring are there.
I edit my first comment according to what I learned through the discussion :)
I just care about proper and honest reporting. I’d have a Tesla any day over a Mercedes, for many reasons, but bashing systems based on the wrong assumptions is wrong. They are showing a line keeping assistant that requires steer control at all times (Merc) and a system that aims to be unsupervised - only that it should supervise and doesn’t do it properly, hence the lower score in many tests and the federal investigations in the USA.
MB Driver Assist could be compared with Tesla Autopilot. FSD does obviously much more in that is a “Level 3 beta”, albeit always level 2 because of its development stage. The yet to be released Drive Pilot from Mercedes - the Level 3 automated driving system - could be compared with Tesla FSD, that is a comparison I would gladly see!
Btw, the start of the video on the consumer report evaluation is about Driver Assist and Autopilot. The car in the video then runs FSD.
This comparison doesn’t make any sense, why bother?
EDIT: actually quite interesting in how bad the Mercedes lane keeping is even though with a Level 2 automation should do better. Misleading title and video beginning, because Consumer Reports evaluated Autopilot and not FSD.
That must be it, I wasn’t smart enough to link the actual image URL, I linked the post as you wrote 😆
Interesting tip on linking the url, I will try it. Tested it in the past but I think I did something different and didn’t work as I hoped
You are right, I don’t know if he didn’t have a choice. But if a hospital is just 20km away, I wonder if just calling an ambulance would have been the easier and smarter thing to do. The fact that he could get health care and arrived safely is awesome - and I personally cheer any advancement in the automotive driving field - but this story shows more of the problems of Teslas marketing approach and fail to implement driver attention assessment systems. There are more advanced and safe ways to approach automated driving, see Mercedes.
The problem is: he drove himself. The fact that the car couldn’t recognize that the driver couldn’t be in control of the vehicle is appalling and brought risk for everyone who shared the road with that man. What’s wrong with calling an ambulance? It’s not that he didn’t have any other choice.
It’s marketable, remarkable or not is secondary, point is faster than anything else :) Everyone knows that sub-something 0-to-something-else straight line acceleration spec for an ev is exactly what our planet needs right now! Jokes aside, all these “super” vehicles are either to make huge profits with margins a-la-Ferrari or to push the brand aka pure advertising. And honestly, this is one of the most entertaining advertising around!
Does it mean the end of no subscription professional editing suite or is it a good thing?

Talking of surprise: I was ready to return our not-yet-dispatched MacBook Air (orderer on 20th October) as it only had 8GB and… they updated the product to 16GB! That’s neat, now I get why the delivery time was longer than expected.
