It seems they have some 'safety level' constant they can control during their training process, so about half a year ago when they were preparing for public release they decided to change safety level constant from 0.99 to 0.999 and something went wrong, like it's completely unable to do some unsafe actions (unprotected left turns, merges, and other tricky situations). And because of that they need additional training with safety drivers for this kind of situations.
- orangecat 8y agoso about half a year ago when they were preparing for public release they decided to change safety level constant from 0.99 to 0.999 That's my theory as well. Remember, Uber killed a pedestrian earlier this year. Fortunately that didn't result in self-driving cars being banned or regulated out of existence, but they may not a get a third chance, so it makes sense to be even more cautious after that.
- lolc 8y agoThey're just stuck solving the remaining hard cognitive tasks where even humans struggle. They're just not good enough at predicting other cars' trajectory. And nobody really knows at what point they will be. I'd say we will find the machines to refuse to drive like humans. And we'll have to adapt.
