Just skimmed beginning of article - this article talks about teslas "blowing through stop signs" and the regulators having to recall them for this.
"Blowing through" stop signs was a rolling stop when it was a 4 way stop with all roads at 30MPH or less and no relevant moving cars are people or bikes. The rolling stop never was more than 6MPH, and often much lower (think 1-3MPH).
We have folks blow through stops signs where I live at 35 MPH when others are present, I've got dash cam of this. No action by cops. But teslas roll through at 0.5MPH, and it's end of world. The description by these "journalists" is wildly misleading.
What's weird, there are issues that drivers really really wish would get addressed because they are bad for quality of life and safety. Basic adaptive cruise control / autopilot / phantom braking stuff that seems worse not better from the mobileye days (??? - how is this possible).
Not sure what solution is. Having some kind of better radar, at least one lidar unit to ground truth the vision a bit more? Better mapping and navigation so it can cheat and for example avoid unprotected lefts a bit more?
- dzhiurgis 4y agoYeah rolling stop issue is farcical but afaik actual problem is Teslas miss like 10% of stop signs altogether
