I think the question is not "does the test generalise?", but "does FSD generalise?", which it emphatically does not.

- _ea1k 4y agoIt always ultimately comes back to safety. How many times has AEB avoided a pedestrian that was not detected by the driver of the vehicle? Is that greater or smaller than the number that were hit by drivers with a false sense of confidence in the software? The Dawn Project test cannot answer such questions. I believe that NHTSA is working on this and related questions across the industry and I expect them to produce a more useful result on their own than what can be produced by single-minded reports like this.
- hgomersall 4y agoNo, it's not a purely single variable optimisation. If this system (and let's be honest, we're just talking about Tesla here) cannot avoid hitting an object that every driver should easily see, then it's not fit for purpose. The reason being that people take action based on certain assumptions about what drivers will do. If a pedestrian steps into a road to cross when an oncoming car had plenty of space to both see and slow, then it's not ever acceptable to hit the pedestrian. This is a normal urban interaction.
