Autopilot crashes into median in daylight
- andbberger 6y agoWhat an absolute farce. "Anyone relying on LIDAR is doomed" - daddy musk
- dmfdmf 6y agoEdge cases are hard.
- dreamlayers 6y agoThose shadows are confusing.
- andbberger 6y agoWouldn't be to humans though. Foveated vision and excellent adaptive contrast, would be super obvious
- caturopath 6y agoI'm pretty sure humans mis-see and bump into stuff all the time.
- caturopath 6y agoDo we have good statistics over how well it does to a human without assistance facing the same conditions yet?
- andbberger 6y agoAll of the cars in front of it avoided the barrier
- caturopath 6y agoAnd I presume there are many other places where a car has crashed that cars with advanced cruise control didn't crash.
- ed_db 6y agoI am no Autopilot fan, but that doesn't seem like the best road design/layout.
- systemvoltage 6y agoPeople are comparing this with humans. In this case, this type of narrowing of the bridge has existed for a long time I presume - it's not new. Thousands of humans have gone through it without an issue. I can see why without a LIDAR, Tesla would need to do a lot more with subtle vision cues that humans usually pick up due to high dynamic range of our eyes. Data is available. Figure out when this narrowing of the bridge was constructed, average number of cars passing through the left lane in a day and you can estimate how well humans behave in this situation during mid-day when the shadows look similar. I am willing to guess that humans do way better in this case but we don't have the data of how many Tesla's went through this situation without an issue.
