... we all love Tesla but seriously?
We have a serious problem if "autopilot" cannot avoid an object in plain sight. Everyone interprets "autopilot" to be self-driving capabilities. Some people understand that the performance of this system is tied to the conditions of the road. If you cant handle the most perfect road conditions then you shouldnt call it autopilot. It is gross negligence. Tesla can add whatever warnings they want -- they will not win that case in the long run. Either they will lose in the court of law or in the court of public opinion.
I wonder how Tesla feels about lidar now.
- sjwright 7y agoI don't see what lidar has to do with any of this. No car on sale today has lidar, and yet plenty of them perform speed-adaptive cruise control with varying degrees of steering assistance, from none to hands-off-wheel. They use radar. Tesla cars also use radar. The question is whether the various software algorithms that interpret sensor information are being too quick to dismiss the apparent presence of stationary objects on the road. My understanding is that most—if not all—adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency braking systems are unreliable when it comes to reacting to stationary objects at highway speed.
