Unless I didn't understand correctly, on the animated image of the car turning, which included a wireframe representation of the scene, as well as the cameras: https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/posts/2017/08/WaymoMovieGIF/a7325709f.gif https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/posts/2017/08/W...
The generated geometry doesn't seem to include the Bike that quickly passes behind the car at the intersection ...
- underwater 9y agoThe video is a real event where the car behaved suboptimally. It stopped because it couldn't understand what it should do about the bike. The wireframe is an artificial simulation that is inspired by the same scenario.
- londons_explore 9y agoThe bike is shown as a red wireframe.
- euyyn 9y agoThe bike is the red box that crosses the intersection. It doesn't pass behind the car, but by its side. The white wireframe box that "detaches" from the Waymo car is where the cameras are (so what the car actually did). I assume the Waymo car that doesn't stop in the animation is what it should have done instead.
- jvolkman 9y agoMore specifically, the article indicates that the car that doesn't stop is what the software - after changes to fix the original problem - would do now if it encountered the same situation.
