In many of the cities where Uber would like to deploy self-driving cars, a "rogue pedestrian" crossing where there is no marked crosswalk would be at least a multiple-times-per-day event. Any system trained to treat that as an ultra-rare anomaly would be a killing machine if unleashed in such a city.
- stillsut 8y agoAs much as "rogue pedestrian" seems like blaming the victim, if you go actually did go "rogue" at any truck stop in this country, I suspect you would not survive one night. Trucks Stops and Times Square are two ends to a spectrum of expectations of erratic pedestrian behavior. I want (and expect the system already does) account for this difference. And I also suspect the model to apply this pedestrian expectation modelling is imperfect and could use improvement. I don't know how to make it perfect, or if that's even a reasonable goal.
