Nice little QoL feature right there!

Ngl, a touchscreen iMac would be something ;)

They did :) Even with the preorder complication and the choice of emitter by email, got everything right and fast.

I would place this breakthrough for humanity higher than moon landing but lower than vaccines. How could we live without this before?!

No I think the level 3 is only available in selected countries, roads and speeds. It’s called Drive Pilot and it’s not the one they are using in the video.

You got me here, wasn’t even aware that the Mercedes system is officially a level 2 with Steer Control that is supposed to do much better than seen in the video. I still think they should have compared with the more basic Autopilot, though, as this is what consumer report evaluated and the safety problems of Tesla’s lack of driver monitoring are there.

I edit my first comment according to what I learned through the discussion :)

I just care about proper and honest reporting. I’d have a Tesla any day over a Mercedes, for many reasons, but bashing systems based on the wrong assumptions is wrong. They are showing a line keeping assistant that requires steer control at all times (Merc) and a system that aims to be unsupervised - only that it should supervise and doesn’t do it properly, hence the lower score in many tests and the federal investigations in the USA.

MB Driver Assist could be compared with Tesla Autopilot. FSD does obviously much more in that is a “Level 3 beta”, albeit always level 2 because of its development stage. The yet to be released Drive Pilot from Mercedes - the Level 3 automated driving system - could be compared with Tesla FSD, that is a comparison I would gladly see!

Btw, the start of the video on the consumer report evaluation is about Driver Assist and Autopilot. The car in the video then runs FSD.

This comparison doesn’t make any sense, why bother?

EDIT: actually quite interesting in how bad the Mercedes lane keeping is even though with a Level 2 automation should do better. Misleading title and video beginning, because Consumer Reports evaluated Autopilot and not FSD.

The switch is out of metal, with LED indicator in the middle (blue as the idle color, red or green while charging I think)

You’re right! I suspected that during the video, but wasn’t sure and thought I was mistaken as I don’t have my iPad with me. This reminds me about how much I use those cameras! :D

NOT compatible with current iPad lineup, just with the 4 new iPads shown today.

I agree, the current ones were never too thick. And adding graphite and copper in the chassis to disperse heat doesn’t probably bring much, as it will most of the time be covered by a case.

That must be it, I wasn’t smart enough to link the actual image URL, I linked the post as you wrote 😆

Interesting tip on linking the url, I will try it. Tested it in the past but I think I did something different and didn’t work as I hoped

It’s marketable, remarkable or not is secondary, point is faster than anything else :) Everyone knows that sub-something 0-to-something-else straight line acceleration spec for an ev is exactly what our planet needs right now! Jokes aside, all these “super” vehicles are either to make huge profits with margins a-la-Ferrari or to push the brand aka pure advertising. And honestly, this is one of the most entertaining advertising around!

Doesn’t surprise me! There are so many “hidden” features that I - and many others - only discover after years. Especially things that can be used with an alternative goal outside of the original scope.

That’s neat! I hope it works on the iPad, too: would be perfect for my nighttime reading, I always wanted to dim the screen a little bit more.

It’s not present on European app stores. In Europe they offer the app through their newly launched 3rd party app store AltStore PAL.

Does it mean the end of no subscription professional editing suite or is it a good thing?
