San Francisco / Bay Area Robotaxi service launches! Service area dwarfs Waymo's

[CyberTrk]

Robotaxis will prioritize clean camera binnacles.
A film builds up on both the camera lenses and the glass behind the binnacle cover.
With clean cameras, FSD can drive directly into the sun better than I can.

Does this film is available? I would be interested testing it.

Note: I have a circular polarizing lens filter (CPL) for my Blackvue dashcam
to reduce reflection from other cars, but it doesn't block the intense sunset light.

If the lenses and glass are clean, the FSD cameras can see into direct sun better than a human driver.

Any way to force an invite???

The thing people think are limitations (driving into the sun, dark nights, heavy rain, etc), FSD can do better than people. Because the cameras have much more ISO brightness range. They can handle brighter light AND dimmer light. And in low contrast conditions, the software can boost contrast to better discern the scene compared to a human. But, just like drivers have to keep their glasses clean, robocabs do too.

If FSD can out-perform meat-robots shouldn't the message be "Pull Over" rather than "Take Over"?
