It'd be interesting to see other vehicles with adaptive cruise control / lane keeping try this same experiment.

- gambiting 9y agoThey would fail too, but I'm not aware of any adaptive cruise control from any manufacturer being sold as "autopilot". In either case, I think the biggest(and insurmountable) obstacle to self-driving cars will be the fact that they rely on having clear signs, clear markings, clear lanes, signs not rotated by the wind or vandalised - and it's going to be impossible(due to cost) to maintain our infrastructure to the required level. Yes, Tesla can patch their system to work in this specific road situation - but there will be countless others.
- simion314 9y agoBut what happens when you have tons of self driving cars, and it starts snowing, do all this cars get stuck until the snowing stops and how can you clear the roads if the cars are stuck? (I am referring at a scenario where this are actual self driving cars and not drive assist systems with a human behind the wheel)
- dx034 9y agoIsn't lane keeping designed to avoid that you accidentally leave the lane? I'm not aware of any OEMs except Tesla marketing it as doing the job for you (except for congestion at low speed). VW writes: > The Lane Assist system is like a friendly co-driver. If it senses your car is drifting out of your driving lane it gently counter-steers the car back on line. They explicitly say that it only corrects you, it doesn't replace steering by the driver.
