  I'm not affiliated with Tesla and happy to answer any questions you have about this project.

  The most surprising thing to me was how much I had to be involved to correct Opus's work. I thought it would be just a sprint and did not expect a marathon vibe coding session :D

  I was watching the spaceX documentary, and its special how they use to stop the thrust right at the first contact, else the car can never land safely and bounce after contact

    Do you have a link to it? I could not see the landing well in any of the videos since there was a lot of white cloud when it landed.

    I'd need to see a real video of such a thing first :-)
