It can't detect when a crash is about to happen. The driver manually pushes the brakes there.
I have only worked tangentially with self-driving systems but in general they are very bad at dealing with stationary objects - this is why it can't see the center barrier.
This article describes the reason why radar and stationary objects don't mix: https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-autopilot-why-crash-radar/ https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-autopilot-why-crash-radar/
- amelius 9y agoHow far ahead can LiDAR detect stationary objects? Will there be enough time on a highway to brake or steer away from suddenly appearing obstacles?
- unityByFreedom 9y agoThe latest Waymo video [1] says its car can see up to 3 football fields away. I would guess this would let it operate at higher speeds. I haven't seen any demos of it on the highway. I think they're focused on cities and suburbs. [1] https://youtu.be/B8R148hFxPw?t=1m28s https://youtu.be/B8R148hFxPw?t=1m28s
- amelius 9y agoOk. Can it see potentially dangerous obstacles that stick out of the ground by, say, 10 inches?
- unityByFreedom 9y agoIt can see ducks.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=26m15s&v=Uj-rK8V-rik https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=26m15s&v=Uj-rK8V-rik
