Electrical Tape on Sign Fooled a Tesla into Speeding in Test
- maxharris 7y agoModification of road signs is illegal everywhere, and for good reason. https://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/local/cities/johnscreek/johns-creek-police-altering-road-signs-dangerous-against-the-law/article_a84dd964-e069-11e9-9939-1b007dfdb99f.html https://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/local/cities/johnscreek/jo...
- rrauenza 7y agoYes, but if you're driving in a residential neighborhood you as a human would know that 85mph must be a mistake.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoIt strikes me that the same tape job, or a slightly better one, might also fool a human. So what do we conclude?

- rrauenza 7y agoI had the same thought -- but was surprised the Tesla reads signs as opposed to what Waze does, which is use maps. But the Tesla has the advantage it would work outside of network. BUT -- context is everything! If you saw an 85mph zone in a residential area or school zone -- you'd know it was bogus because you're a human and it doesn't seem reasonable.
