- ricardobeat 9y agoIt does! Just not after 5 seconds.
- drdeadringer 9y agoHow is this, or can be, detected?
- LoSboccacc 9y agotesla's already detect people not having the hands on the wheel, for starters. then you can fairly easily see where the eyes are looking and I guess with some more effort if the eyes are engaged or wandering. this is a paper from a hundred years ago about the subject, this is not rocket science https://www.jstor.org/stable/1412972?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents https://www.jstor.org/stable/1412972?seq=1#page_scan_tab_con...
- secabeen 9y agoThe Model 3 has a driver-facing camera, presumably for exactly this.
- Matheus28 9y agoThat's a very naive comment. What if there's no emergency lane? Should it just crash towards whatever is on the right side of the car? :) Tesla's autopilot already slows down then stops moving if the user doesn't touch the steering wheel for a period time, but it gives plenty of warning to the user before that happens, as it should be.
- LoSboccacc 9y agoSo let me see, what are the alternative here. Inconveniencing the driver and making it a learning experience vs crashing into concrete and killing him Well. Maybe you are the naive one. Machinery shouldn’t give warnings. We already learned those lesson in industrial automation settings. The average mentality of “just user error bro” seen on hackers new is what scares me the most. That is not how you build secure machines, far from it, and at this point my only hope not to be killed from an autonomous car in the next 30 years is for the regulations hammer coming crashing down full force on the wanton engineers that are treating loss of life as user error
