1) Given Tesla has been using passive data collection wouldn't a well traveled road like this have clear data that there is a split road but nothing in the middle so geo-position should have stopped this?
2) How did the radar /camera not see the barrier.
3) Give their update capability I'm surprised this section of road hasn't been fixed or updated to stop 'autopilot' for this section.
- improbable22 9y agoAutomated mapping seems like it ought to be able to solve this. Even if the cameras are less good than a human, all the other cars' cameras could help immensely. Why isn't every Tesla tracking all the lanes it can see, and the behaviour of every option at every exit, and flagging cases where one of the other lanes does something weird, or dangerous, half a mile later?
- makomk 9y agoAre they even collecting that kind of data, let alone using it to make decisions in autopilot mode? I know they're using passively collected data to decide whether radar detections of passive objects are actual threats or just road signs, but I'm not sure they've announced anything more advanced than that.
