minor nitpick but this video is from May, this didn't happen yesterday, did you mean to link another video?
- Animats 10y agoYou're right; that's from a few weeks ago. It got some publicity yesterday as if it were newer.
- tuna-piano 10y agoThe Tesla owner says in the description "Yes, I could have reacted sooner, but when the car slows down correctly 1,000 times, you trust it to do it the next time to. My bad.." And this is the same problem mentioned elsewhere in this thread. The adaptive cruise being 99.99% effective at stopping trains the driver that it will always work. Especially because Tesla doesn't force the driver to touch the steering wheel, they seem especially susceptible to this issue - and drivers do things like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fDbfy0409U&t=0s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fDbfy0409U&t=0s This is not an issue until it is.
- caf 10y agoIt seems like the solution is to have the software train the driver to take control in unusual situations. One way to do that might be that if the car successfully avoids an obstacle on its own without the driver reacting at all, after the obstacle is passed the car pulls over and stops.
