> One area this comes into with California is we’ve been using those Botts' Dots. The automated vehicles [AVs] can follow lane lines. They can’t follow the Botts' Dots, so we’re actually changing our delineation standards to go away from the Botts' Dots which we’ve been using for decades because AVs have a difficult time following those.
That is very surprising due to claims of superhuman image recognition due to deep learning. Is it because of speed issues?
- ghaff 9y agoLots of claims get made about AI capabilities that are... optimistic. From a paper on the topic: "Botts’ dot marker detection is more difficult than that for white lines because small, sparse, low contrast regions are mixed in with road-texture noise." https://trid.trb.org/view.aspx?id=1253090 https://trid.trb.org/view.aspx?id=1253090
