You can see the curb rashed up and the pretty improvised fix to the sign from a previous accident I suppose, since the map says March, 2021.

- tlrobinson 5y agoI doubt that was where the impact was if the car was turning right from Cushing onto Freemont, since it’s 2 lanes over from the turning lane.
- ehnto 5y agoThe report said it performed a left lane change after the initial turn, so it could still be.
- lostlogin 5y agoIt’s crashed right outside a Tesla factory.? There is a joke here somewhere.
- robbedpeter 5y agoCould Tesla have put up adversarial triggers nearby their own facilities to test, and it overlapped on whatever opencv or vision package pony.ai is using? Using invisible-to-humans paint on signs for adversarial recognition attacks on autonomous driving systems would also be an anti-Tesla tactic not entirely unreasonable to consider. "Tesla autopilot crashes right outside Tesla factory!" would be a desired headline for a certain crowd. It'll be interesting to see what caused this, at any rate, probably less than 1% chance the above is what happened.
- cwmoore 5y agoThis one gives a better idea of why this might have happened, in the direction of travel, the white back of the sign is easy to miss with a white-sided box truck behind it: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.4902551,-121.9483919,3a,75y,309.66h,76.43t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sGMkg-OYtjbelcE-_9xUxkA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 https://www.google.com/maps/@37.4902551,-121.9483919,3a,75y,... The pole at the end of the divider with the sign facing away, stretched-arrow street paint left-turn symbol, and the enormous expanse of intersection pavement are all a little disorienting.
- Apofis 5y agoWhat's amazing is that it's on Google Streetview already! Wow. Google sent a drone out to get a photo right away. Amazing.
- tyingq 5y agoSeems like maybe you misread something. I didn't suggest it was recent...I put the date in the post.
