So good to see a developer who actually cares about resources. Thank you!
I usually develop my apps on a 1300 MHz single-core Intel Atom mini PC from 10 years ago. When something like this goes wrong, the app becomes unusable and I immediately notice it.
A bit unrelated but I found this interesting: water is transparent only within a very narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum, so living organisms evolved sensitivity to that band, and that's what we now call "visible light".
This video is a reconstruction of Mark Rober's failed test that had a similar setup. However, Mark Rober only tested Autopilot which is just a lane keep assist from 7 years ago, and is a different software from FSD.
According to Tesla, FSD is the real deal, FSD is supposed to become unsupervised. Many Tesla owners were curious whether FSD would stop under the same simulated conditions, and this is why the setup is like this with the hose and everything.
