I was wondering why it is necessary for self driving tech to be tested in "live" mode, instead of having the software passively log all event data. Then analyze it to see what the software "would have done" compared to a human driver.
Then a lot more testing data could be gathered by outfitting random vehicles (taxis, etc) with the tech, and analyze (and further refine the software) around every event where the software and human driver differed in opinion (i.e., whenever the vehicle abruptly changes speed, did the software detect that it should have hit the brakes at / before the same time).
- maxxxxx 9y agoI was wondering about that too.
- WalterSear 9y agoLike Tesla is doing?
- SomewhatLikely 9y agoI too assumed this is exactly why Tesla pushed out all the hardware years in advance. To collect training data.

- lopmotr 9y agoAny feedback from the response of the vehicle to the commands would be absent. So would whatever happens next. If the computer says "steer left a little" but the video keeps going straight, what's the computer supposed to do next?
- carlmr 9y agoYou can't really test the control part of the algorithm, but you could test the detection and object recognition parts.
- aquadrop 9y agoMaybe they do it as well, but you still can test just a limited are with this approach.
