Maybe the manual controls have a problem, or the mix of self-driving/manual caused a problem? The article doesn't say much, but it may have to do with the design of the system (and not the self-driving itself)
- krisoft 5y ago> The article doesn't say much, but it may have to do with the design of the system I'm thinking the same. Obviously I don't know nothing factual. Was looking at this video of how the shuttles look from the inside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp9DNV0zGC8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp9DNV0zGC8 I observed these things: - it looks like at least on this video the shuttles appear to be in manual operation. - the A pillar is crazy thick. One could hide a whole circus with elephants behind it from the driver. - maybe because of the above, the driver has video screens in front of them. - there appears to be two on-board attendants (a hostess and a driver it seems)
- gregoriol 5y agoThanks for the video. It also seems a crazy choice to use a joystick: no-one has experience driving a vehicle with this, how long did the operators have to train...
- wnkrshm 5y agoI can image that the joystick-operated mode should still have the safety overrides from a self-driven mode and they aren't sure why those safety systems didn't prevent the collision.
