We are definitely not even close to having "solved" self-driving cars.
- yathern 8y agoAgreed. At least not with the sensors that come equipped on Tesla vehicles. Companies like Waymo are much closer, however. Though I would also argue the presence of adversarial attacks doesn't necessarily mean self-driving cars are not close to being solved. There will always be some actions that bad actors can take to cause harm to others - that doesn't mean something is broken for regular use. You might as well put a bunch of nails in the road on the highway, for example. Luckily, most people aren't bad actors, and we have laws to prevent these things.
- WhompingWindows 8y agoIf you listened to the hype, yes we are not close; but that'd be your fault for giving in to the early hype, written by tech/science journalists without domain expertise or insider information. If you look at the reality, certain companies have advanced a TREMENDOUS amount in the last few years. It was less than 2 decades ago that DARPA introduced its self-driving vehicle challenge and none of them could even make it a couple of miles. If you asked me 20 years ago, would there be a driverless taxi service in Phoenix in 2020, I would have said absolutely no way, the y2k bug scare, tech so hard, we'll never get there.
