They have a very opaque and subjective permanent residency program. So while they get all the benefits out of you as an immigrant, they may provide none in return.

I get the urge to be cynical all the time, but this isn't that time. "Once you grow", they have already grown and competing with the SoTA models and still giving it all back to the community.

I just wish this smear campaign against them stops sometime soon.

That's an amazing price given it's retailing for more than twice that. One option to expand storage is have an always-inserted, low-profile USB 3 flash drive like SanDisk Ultra Fit, providing read speeds upto 150 MB/s.

Note the sub-optimality of generatePermutations.

For the second but last level (which will be entered n! times) it is doing n iterations which gives us a (not so tight) lower bound of n * n! instead of the optimal n!.

The issue is the use of an array for visited instead of, say, a linked list where each level gets a list of only unvisited nodes.

sharmajai | 9 years ago | on: All Tesla Cars Being Produced Now Have Full Self-Driving Hardware

You provided no evidence for the hype claim but even then you are contradicting yourself:

Statement A: Tesla is just hyping autonomous driving since no technology can deliver fully autonomous driving right now.

Statement ~A: Low-cost LIDAR is available to any high-volume customer, of which Tesla is one, given Model 3 demand. And LIDAR can deliver fully autonomous driving.

The point simply being, I have a hard time believing that even with good-looking, cheap LIDAR being a possibility, as you claim, Tesla chose to go with an inferior sensor suite, for no apparent reason.

All I see is future promises. Tesla wants to do this now, that too at mass market costs, independent of whether those promises materialize or not.

It also depends on how much you trust their R&D team. If they thought this was a week sensor suite and something else was just around the corner, they won't risk fitting their cars with inferior technology which would be obsolete in a couple of years, making all the collected data worthless. Yes I am aware they did this to existing cars lacking the full autonomy hardware, but I find that OK, since, for them, they never promised full autonomy to begin with.
