Similarly curious - my understanding is that Tesla w/ FSD effectively drives as a relatively selfish and "reactive" driver, theoretically dealing with anything entering its driving path.
I'd also be interested to know if the Tesla FSD can react to "foreseeable second order" issues that an experienced driver is expected to respond to. For example, a pedestrian crossing (giving priority to pedestrians) where visibility of the waiting pedestrian is obscured by a parked vehicle. A human driver can recognise they lack visibility of the footpath around the crossing (and recognise the crossing by road markings and street furniture), and therefore slow on approach, since there is a risk they may need to stop rapidly.
- cmsj 5y agothat principle of "slow on approach, since there is a risk" is something I don't feel like I've seen in any of Tesla's videos. Even the ones where they are proudly showing a Tesla avoiding a collision with a person, the car seems to leave it to the very last second and then slams on the brakes, where my mind is already screaming "BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE" a couple of seconds after I would have started a precautionary slowing.
- thrashh 5y agoI have no idea how we’re ever going to achieve trustworthy self-driving cars before we achieve full artificial intelligence. I know how I react to different situations is fully contingent on recognizing what I’m actually looking at and being able to generate a risk probability model in real-time. If I don’t know what I’m looking at, I have to be extremely conservative and if I had to do that every time, my driving would probably be very uncomfortable.
