This test is so poorly done it feels like it must have been done for propaganda or bad PR.
Aside from the legs barely moving, the arms not moving - e.g. it doesn't look like a pedestrian the AI would be modeling from - it's driving out of context through parking lot lines.
Edit to add: the guidelines for using Autopilot, irrespective of what the name insinuates to you, requires the driver to be paying attention at all times and takeover if it's not doing what you expect; "BUt iT shOUld BE PerFeCT" attitude is dismissing one's personal responsibility - if you don't want to have to pay attention then don't drive with Autopilot.

- mhh__ 6y agoThis is sort where jaywalking originates from i.e. people are getting run over so make it illegal to cross
- djxfade 6y agoShould it matter? It's still an obstacle that it shouldn't be hitting

- abeppu 6y agoEven if it doesn't move its arms like a prototypical walking human, shouldn't the car still stop, rather than ram into an unidentified large obstacle / skateboarder / pedestrian carrying something? If it's driving in a parking lot rather than a busy city street, shouldn't that have meant it can also safely swerve away from the obstacle in almost any direction?
- isoskeles 6y agoAs others have pointed out, the arms not moving shouldn't prevent the vehicle from braking. There are a number of reasons a person's arms may not move as expected, a couple of primary ones being the person is holding an object or has hands in pockets. And of course, some people don't have arms, and they shouldn't be left out either.
- nendroid 6y ago>This test is so poorly done it feels like it must have been done for propaganda or bad PR. I disagree. The test is not poorly done. Such conditions are trivial for a human to recognize. You will not be allowed behind a wheel if you could not avoid a dummy while driving. If an AI can't recognize such trivial circumstances why would I let it take control when I'm going 60 mph on a freeway? That's like putting my kid on my lap and letting him drive... yeah of course I can take over control at anytime, but it's still illegal to do this and absolutely insane. Let's put it this way, if it's insane and illegal to put a 7 year old kid on your lap and allow him to drive at 60 mph down a freeway (even when you have executive override abilities to take control at anytime) then why is it normal to have an AI (who would do considerably worse than a 7 year old at recognizing a pedestrian) do what's basically the same thing? Is this Bad PR or is it a Tesla owner trying to justify his purchase?
- mcguire 6y ago"the guidelines for using Autopilot, irrespective of what the name insinuates to you, requires the driver to be paying attention at all times and takeover if it's not doing what you expect" This is similar to the FAA's "see and avoid" rule. It is mostly ineffective for obvious reasons, but is a good way to dump responsibility on one of the entities involved.
