Very old video, but a classic. FSD prediction way off, but a lot of progress has been made since 2017, lately because of the new disruptor that has arisen: advanced ML (with the name inflated to AI). And that’s in the early part of the steep part of the S curve.

[@charliedoyle7824]

Tesla won't have Level 5 in a few years. It's not close now, and no evidence it's improving fast enough for such a high level of safety any time soon. You don't know that FSD is in the early phase of the steep S curve. It's quite possible that the cheap camera sensors and bad maps will put a low ceiling on how good FSD can be. A real Level 5 car in a large fleet would have to be able to safely drive around a big city for tens of millions of miles between any bad failures, and not have repeating similar bad failures, or it won't be allowed to go driverless in any state because of federal recalls, lawsuits, horrible press, and violating state driving laws, even in Texas and Florida.

[@michaelkeppler6593]

2017 presentation. While directionally correct, I think Tony was a little too optimistic by about 5 years (i.e., looks like most of his projections will occur by 2035, not 2030)

[@KevinRichard_CH]

KZbin recommended me this video (probably recorded in 2017). Very funny to see how many things this guy got wrong. That's the problem when you take a purely business model approach extracted from the tech/digital world to 1) predict general behaviours and adoptions in the social space; 2) talk about infrastructure evolutions in the physical space - the main assumption here is "business model → behaviour" is a constant. I'm not saying "mono-causal" but not so far from it. Whereas it might be true in a limited medium such as the digital world, in which the role of infrastructure is rendered invisible, it is not true in our physical and social spaces. To exclude specific regional, topographical, socio-cultural constraints (either positive or negative) as causes and limiters of evolution in socio-economic landscape is rather foolish -although expected from this type of profile. Now, to sell "Transport as a service" as disruptive innovation is frankly disingenuous. Numbers like "cars are parked 96% of the time" and "cars are the 2nd largest capital expense" should elicit the bare minimum critical thinking from the audience: it shows this model of transportation is inefficient, on top of being a societal burden (safety, health, cost) and ecologically bankrupt, so how this can be used in an argumentation in favour of even more of the same sh*t? And if you buy the sales pitch - "10x asset utilisation", "40% driving time"- this is not what you, personally, will get out of it. We talk about a few major private companies here. We talk about the full privatisation of an already hegemonic transportation modality -and a very inefficient one at this- with high potential for a lock-in effect.

[@platoscavealum902]

My golly, what do you mean, sir. I just watched the “Electric Viking” KZbin channel and he said that Tony Seba is an absolute prophet. 🔮

[@trainspotting_and_tech2023]

I'm saying the same thing. When Seba says that in the future everything will be (simply put): battery-powered, everything autonomous & on-demand and everything will be privately-owned fleets, he is also suggests that things like public transportation should be privatized. Well, *NOT* everything is meant to be a privatized cashcow & *NOT* everything needs a battery, damn it! 🤷‍♂️😒 Not to mention 2 things: *NO* mention of the best actual transportation mode *(railways)* and *there are* actually people that drive 500K miles their own car. 🙄

[@bmamba4777]

Am I wrong in thinking when Tony said there will be 80% less cars on the road, he actually means 80% less cars parked in either public or private lots... seems like more of a benefit to cities & providing companies than individuals owning their own autonomous electric vehicles, especially if they'll be so cheap.

Well he didn't predict the pandemic, but batteries have fallen in cost to buy (by major industrial buyer) 20% every year for the last 5 years. And there are robotaxis in limited numbers in China and San Francisco now. Tesla have announced a major reveal of their new "Cyber-cab" on 8th Aug 2024. Many of his laughed at and dismissed predictions have come true: 1. Falling rate of the cost of solar PV. 2. Falling rate in the cost of EVs - in China now the BYD Seagull cost US$15,000 and is a compact car with 300km plus range. Both these predictions have come true.

[@the_energycoach]

Hello Tony, I read your books and am a fan of your work. Your lectures do not forecast heavy constraints that might slow down disruption. In our country 'The Netherlands' to grid is certainly one of them and I suspect we are not the only ones. I must say we do not build enough storage capacity as your models predict, so that might be part of the answer. I also wonder why our government plans for so much hydrogen power for industries, while you seem to stick to electric only. Would appreciate comments on the role of the grid hampering progress.

[@Fireinthesky67]

Hydrogen could be used to store energy. I mean extra electricity that is not consumed. What Seba calls superpower. You can either store it in caverns as we do for methane or use it in heavy trucks, etc And why not even just burn it to provide electricity during the short periods of time there's not enough electricity produced; avoiding fossile fuels use.

[@platoscavealum902]

If you’re as big of a fan of Tony Seba as you say you are - you would know that this is not his KZbin channel. His actual KZbin channel is called “Tony Seba.” This video is just some knucklehead uploading Tony’s video from 2017 and pretending it is new. Don’t worry, everything is up-to-date though, nothing that has to do with autonomy has changed since 2017 - fully autonomous Tesla are definitely coming “next year.”

[@Albertkallal]

This from 2017 to now 2024 did NOT age well. The FSD system is no where CLOSE to be self driving. Robo-taxi with a geo fenced (limited location) can work, but we not even close to Tesla FSD driving around without driver. The latest 12.x.x update is REALLY impressive, but not ready for prime time. The sales of EV's are stalling right now (2024), and unless the USA allows imports of low cost China EV's, then the s-curve adopting is clearly not occurring at rates predicted here. They WERE chugging along at what what looked like a s-curve for EV's, but now we in a pause mode, and further price drops (below $30,000) does not look to be just around the corner anytime soon. And while the rate of required repairs for a EV is less, the cost of each repair is MUCH higher. And repairs for accidents (which are not included in the repair cost rates say over 5 years) are NOT included in those figures. So, less repairs are offset by higher tire costs and higher insurance rates and MUCH higher repair costs when accidents are included. I think watching the next 2 or 3 quarters of sales in the USA will tell a huge story, and if sales of EV's stalling lasts for more then a few quarters, then the s-curve adopting rates clearly are not occurring here.

Do people highly educated in thermodynamic physics know of a higher consideration of nature that overrides accepting that diodes can rectify Johnson - Nyquest thermal noise power and, given the orderliness of consistent orientation in parallel, aggregate a DC residue from each diode into electrical power at any scale coproduced with refrigeration of equivalent thermal energy absorbtion?

[@luke-is3hz]

The idea of using diodes to rectify Johnson-Nyquist thermal noise to produce electrical power is related to the concept of stochastic resonance and energy harvesting. Stochastic resonance refers to the phenomenon where a system's response to a weak input signal is enhanced by random noise. In the context of thermodynamic physics, this can involve harnessing thermal fluctuations (thermal noise) to produce useful work, such as generating electrical power. The concept of using rectifying diodes to convert thermal noise into electrical power is a well-known idea in the field of energy harvesting. By arranging diodes in parallel and taking advantage of their rectification properties, it's possible to aggregate the rectified DC voltage from each diode, thereby producing electrical power from thermal fluctuations. Additionally, the mention of refrigeration and thermal energy absorption suggests a consideration of the Carnot cycle or thermodynamic cycles related to refrigeration and heat engines. The Carnot cycle sets theoretical limits on the efficiency of heat engines and refrigerators based on temperature differentials, which is fundamental knowledge in thermodynamic physics.

[@meamzcs]

[@stephenbrickwood1602]

Framework to understanding technology disruption. Bottom line 15% of all energy used is electricity. 100% electricity is X7 more electricity. If grid electricity, X7 more national grid capacity. National grid built over 100years. National grid is fragile. Blackouts. National grid is extremely expensive. National grid $1million per km for construction costs. National grid is millions and millions of km. NATIONAL GRID is $TRILLIONs, so X7 is bigger than the GDP. Plus grid generation $. National grid is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. Rooftop solar PV does not need more grid. EVs will be parked 23hrs every day. Vehicles drive building to building. Home battery 10kWh, $15,000 EVs big battery 100kWh, FREE with vehicles. EV battery liquid temperature management is extending battery life cycles by decades. Petrochemical industry will need fossil fuels and so a little fossil fuels in emergency will be nothing. The UTILITY FACTOR for EVs will be unbeatable.
