If this was a Tesla, it would’ve said “Tesla starts on its own and kills a person”, but since it’s a Lexus - no one cares.

If this was a Tesla, it would’ve said “Tesla starts on its own and kills a person”, but since it’s a Lexus - no one cares.
- manmal 7y agoI'm pretty sure the Tesla would stop on the slightest perception of any impact. Summon is also super slow.
- londons_explore 7y agoDetecting collisions reliably is actually really hard - especially minor collisions against soft things like people. I predict that if self driving cars do get widely deployed, the number of 'hit and runs' they do because they couldn't detect they had collided will be very high, even if the overall accident rate is low.
- manmal 7y agoI don’t believe that. The 360 degree view provided by multiple cameras makes measuring proximity to close objects easy. Look at sentry mode recordings, it’s very obvious on the feed when a person touches the car.
- xiphias2 7y agoEven my 8 year old BMW's radar is good enough to detect people at very slow speed.
- vinay427 7y agoThe difference is the current details seem to indicate there's nothing Lexus-specific at play here. It was almost certainly an aftermarket remote starter system.
