Why are the videos always done in perfect conditions? I like drive.ai's approach a lot more where they demonstrated the capabilities at night and in heavy rain.

Why are the videos always done in perfect conditions? I like drive.ai's approach a lot more where they demonstrated the capabilities at night and in heavy rain. It's much more impressive.
- kajecounterhack 9y agoWhat looks impressive in a video is often smoke and mirrors. Just because your car is working in inclement weather for the duration of a video doesn't mean it's safe or that the behavior scales to all situations. Proving that it doesn't cause catastrophic problems is even harder (you need sim). FWIW most autonomous cars work great at night. As for weather, nobody has heavy rain completely solved (yet) (afaik). It messes with both camera and lasers.
- IshKebab 9y agoProbably because nobody is behind the wheel. Given that this is the first time a company is willing to do that it's not surprising that it's at 20mph in sunny weather on the quietest most spacious roads in the world. I haven't looked but I'd guess drive.ai's is no-way near reliable enough to be without a backup driver in the rain at night on a road with road-side parking etc.
