Can autopilot not tell a straight road from a curvy road? If it can, why does it apply throttle when it detects that it is driving in a type of road it cannot handle?
- snuxoll 10y agoA driver is still supposed to remain alert and have their hands on the wheel, this allows Tesla to collect telemetry on autopilot so it CAN work on improving the software to handle these conditions better. I think the flaw here is the hands-on requirement is much more lenient than it should be, if it allowed the driver to keep their hands off for two full minutes (it is supposed to slow down if a driver isn't keeping their hands on the wheel) then I'd say that's a very poor design choice.
- studentrob 10y agoI don't think the car tells the user whether it can handle the road or not. It just sends alerts when it needs help. Humans are the guinea pig for Tesla. They want this data of their system driving outside its normal bounds. Otherwise yes Tesla would disable autopilot on unapproved roads.
