DARPA gave you bad data and told you you had to use it? Why would your system insist on staying within DARPA's boundaries in the first place -- did they make "out of bounds" too narrow in a misguided attempt to be helpful?
- IncRnd 10y agoDo you think that self-driving cars get clean correct data as input?
- rs999gti 10y agoDon't Tesla's? They require a well defined road line otherwise they get confused. My friend owns a Model S and on the way to lunch it got confused on off ramps and parts of the road that were not well defined by lines. It basically shut off autopilot and required my friend to take the wheel.

- IncRnd 10y agoThat they get confused and shut off autopilot shows they do not get clean correct data.
- jacquesm 10y agoIt should take a lot more than a bit of paint on the road to upset a self driving car.
- Animats 10y agoYes, they made "out of bounds" too narrow in an attempt to be helpful. The data file provided to each team just before each event was a set of GPS waypoints, each with a width. The width of each segment was the minimum of the width at the endpoints. In the 2004 Grand Challenge, the bounds were much wider and most vehicles screwed up. As it turned out, you could almost drive the 2005 Grand Challenge by staying centered in the DARPA-defined path. But we didn't know that in advance.
