I saw the Tesla Robotaxi:
- Drive into oncoming traffic, getting honked at in the process.
- Signal a turn and then go straight at a stop sign with turn signal on.
- Park in a fire lane to drop off the passenger.
And that was in a single 22 minute ride. Not great performance at all.
At least it’s not driving straight into a tree, I call that an improvement.
If we’re gonna let them on the road, I say that software should get points just like a driver, but when it gets suspended all the cars running that software get shut down.
Not great performance at all.
That’s better than I was expecting to be perfectly honest.
I’m pretty impressed with the technology, but clearly it’s not ready for field use.
You can tell it’s a Tesla because of the way it is.
lmfao
this would get a normal person’s car impounded and drivers license revoked. why can a company get away with it?
Elon has enough fuck-you money to pay off anyone who would’ve complained.
Systemic corruption.
Regulatory
capturedecapitationIt wouldn’t say corruption, I think it’s more that the law around the road was designed with a driver in mind, not with a company or even a robot. the consequences have been thought to hurt a person at fault because at the time only a person could drive
Its very convenient that corporations can both be people and not be people depending on whatever outcome is best for them.
And this is why DOGE gutted the Office for Vehicle Automation Safety at the NHTSA.
I thought that was to economize for expenses?!
So naturally they started with 5 employees in the smallest office of one of the smallest divisions of the NHTSA. Nooooo ulterior motive, nosiree
It is probably being remotely driven from India and they just lost wifi for a minute.
To quote AVCH, “His controller disconnected.”
…oh, that’s just the vietnam regional setting…
Yea, I am not surprised given that the regular lane keep is still ghost braking when going under bridges.
Still, I am surprised how well they are doing, using only cameras.
Imagine if they used other sensors than just cameras like the competent companies!
No no no, you don’t get it! Humans only have eyes, so cars that only have eyes should perform just as good as humans! Disregard that humans don’t perform well in fog or rain or generally anything that isn’t good weather and also disregard that to match our eyes’ resolution you’d need extremely high resolution cameras that produce way too much data for current computers and also disregard that most of the stuff isn’t happening in our eyes but in our brains and also disregard that the point that is usually being made to advocate for self driving cars is that they should be better than humans!
Humans only have eyes, so cars that only have eyes should perform just as good as humans!
Everybody knows that a good driver uses his ass.
Oof, these highlighted parts from only one video are already enough for me. This looks very stressful, I don’t think I could finish a whole ride with one of these.
Don’t worry. It’ll get into a collision before you finish a whole ride.
One of those American robot cars
I understood that reference
StudentRobo drivers, amirite?Sounds like a normal cab driver where I’m from. Need to turn off cabbie mode and turn on Sunday grandma mode.
I’d rather have a car that drives better than a typical cabby or uber driver.
Waymo has arguably been there for a while now. I’ll Uber outside of their coverage area, and take the autonomous car with in it. Every other Uber driver in my area is making late lane choices, tailgating, cutting people off, talking to me about how the world works, etc. The Waymos don’t do any of that shit.
Having experienced FSD, I can honestly say, Waymo’s LiDAR system is way better. It doesn’t do this terrifying shit.
The only difference being you can ask a human cabbie to slow down :,)
Depends. I had this perpetually angry cabby a few months back that when I asked him to slow (son has autism, partially verbal). Not only did he not slow down, he sped up and this was in a snowstorm on the highway. Nothing I could do, if I said anything he went faster. Had a Dr appt so I could do nothing once we were out of that cab. I complained later and best cab co would do is “not send that cab” again.
