The clip at 0:42s impressed me https://youtu.be/O8TSA-X9UlU?t=42 https://youtu.be/O8TSA-X9UlU?t=42 because the behavior seems to be trying to "edge in" and assert fairness, which is what humans expect of each other in these situations.
- akira2501 5y agoThere's a huge danger in trying to anthropomorphize these systems too much, unless you believe there really is a "fairness" model built in. If not, then we shouldn't try to understand what it's doing in these terms. A problem I spotted is, shortly after that turn, it sees the person ahead trying to parallel park... and then it give them several car lengths of distance while it waits. It's waiting so far back that the vehicle behind it couldn't fully clear the intersection. That's not particularly "fair" of it to do that.. nor is giving such a large space to the parallel parking particularly useful or expected. I do not have high expectations for a road filled with this level of barely autonomous agents operating smoothly en masse.
- enragedcacti 5y agoGoogle has been implementing "fairness" models for a probably going on a decade in their self driving cars. the first example I can remember is them talking about intentionally nosing into a 4 way stop to signal to other drivers that the vehicle understood that it was it's turn to go. Not to say its perfect but the car is "thinking" along those terms.
