KRoP

Apple as in the fruit.

This is definitely news and I hope more people on HN see it. It hasn't been tested on roads yet, but it looks very promising.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qpHl0GbQNI - interview with Ionut after the award.

http://seewithtongue.info/ - Ionut worked on this sensor that allows blind people to "see" on the computer, using their tongue. This was released only a year ago, and also "allows processing and adjusting the images taken from a webcam in real time using Artificial Intelligence." Ionut said something similar about how the car "sees," so I'm guessing that the car vision came out of this.

Please share any other info you find.

Maybe I'm being dense, but it doesn't make sense to me: if Broder's only goal was to write a negative review, and he didn't know about data being collected from his car, why take the trip at all? And if he did know about Tesla collecting data from his car, why would he do the things Musk claims he did? He's not stupid.

That, and the fact that he has a fairly plausible explanation for each of Musk's claims, would put the burden of proof on Tesla. (I also get lost in parking lots; it doesn't prove he was trying to kill the car.)

Simple (BankSimple)[1] has a blog post describing this situation and some of the potential problems.[2] Worth reading.
