I always wonder if the Autopilot software has an exception that lets it drive through white rectangular objects in the middle of the road, because tunnel exits can look like a white rectangle to a low dynamic range camera.
- kylecordes 7y agoI suspect the real problem will turn out to be extremely deep and difficult. That human drivers drive not only with great pattern recognition around shapes, but also with an actual understanding of the idea of a truck and the idea of a tunnel and the idea of a sign. There is a substantial chance that will turn out full self-driving is a fully general, human level AI problem. That said, even the existing partial self-driving is extremely useful. I would be hard-pressed to consider another brand of vehicle until the others catch up with this.
- ahartmetz 7y agoGood point. The difference in dynamic range between eyes and cameras is HUGE. Maybe partially an illusion because the point we happen to be looking at is recognizable, but in any case it works in practice.
