At least we do have a model for this one (physics). I wonder what additional signals the car would need to accurately simulate trash movement? Wind?
- justapassenger 3y agoWind, yes. But even without it - thing get tricky, when you’re traveling at 80mph. You need to detect enough of movements to be able to predict future path. It not easy, even with very advanced sensors. And you cannot “play it safe and assume it’ll collide with us”. You get phantom breaking, which is very dangerous.
- MattRix 3y agoI don’t think you could ever accurately simulate trash movement. Trash is irregularly shaped, even with the highest resolution cameras, it’d be impossible to know what the far side of the trash is shaped like. Then on top of that there’s no way to predict highly localized gusts of wind. The best way to deal with trash is to just have an ML model deal with lots of it so it can make predictions about what it is likely to do (which is basically what Tesla is already doing).
