- redytedy 5y agoI don't think this is that controversial within the HN crowd. Every company but Tesla is working to drive safely only within a monitored geofenced area.
- clairity 5y agoit isn’t so controversial now. as someone espousing a similar stance for at least the last 12 years, it’s only been the recent couple years that folks wouldn’t try to shout you down for noting how far out self-driving seems to be.
- amelius 5y agoIndeed, because deep-learning typically has only up to 95% accuracy, and this simply doesn't cut it if you need to make several decisions every second (times fleet size). You can do a lot with LIDAR, but you can't recognize e.g. traffic lights with absolute certainty.
- dalbasal 5y agoRemember that autonomy and "intelligence" aren't necessarily related. We could probably have a fully autonomous auto fleet with current/available technologies, if we adapt the roads, rules and such. Human-like autonomous driving might not happen but getting from a to b doesn't strictly require that.
