(iii) That there doesn't seem to be a continuous path between where it is headed immediately and where it will have to go 2 or 3 seconds later. If your immediate future can't be harmonized with what will happen afterward, something is wrong.
(iv) That it has (literally) been down this road before and had to revise its estimate of what it thought it was a lane (i.e. jerk back into the lane once it realized).
(v) That other Teslas have been down this road and learned that.
(vi) That the lane is suddenly getting wider than a freeway lane should, and that doesn't normally happen.
(vii) That the paint is worn, which indicates poor road maintenance, which necessitates caution.
(ix) That it saw a freeway exit sign a short while back, which logically indicates there must be a V-shaped spot ahead somewhere that it shouldn't drive into, and this could be it.
- firebones 9y ago(x) hey, but let's put this BS on the road anyway (xi) something, something "Fight Club" math anyway
- Aeolun 9y ago> that it shouldn't drive into I love you qualified this ;)
- adrianmonk 9y agoI'm nerding out here, but roads are complicated and it actually requires a qualifier! Assuming no exit-only lanes, there is a V-shaped area you can drive into: the beginning of the new exit lane. And then it's followed by another V-shaped area that you can't: the resumption of the shoulder. One way you can tell the difference is lines, if they are painted properly. But you can also tell from context. If you know (from experience and/or road signs) that only one lane peels off for this exit, and if you have already seen the V-shaped area for the exit, then the next V-shaped area is not OK to drive into.
