The latency on that has to be massive.
- jonhohle 3y agoWhy? UAVs are piloted remotely, video games are played remotely with sub-100ms latency. Getting a remote driver connected might a while, but afterwards it seems like a mostly solved (in practice) problem.
- notahacker 3y agoUAVs don't have to deal with traffic (the thought of driving a vehicle with the latency and intermittent connectivity of my drone horrifies me) and when someone dies in a video game they respawn...
- pests 3y agoNo lag compensation. Extremely server-authoritative.
- throwaway5959 3y agoI wasn't talking about signal latency, I was talk about the time it took for an operator to sign on and take control.
- haltist 3y agoIt's good enough for the routes that Cruise uses in the city.
- SkyPuncher 3y agoIt might not actually matter. Since the car can operate autonomously already, the operator doesn't necessarily need to literally drive the car. They might simply need to hop in to verification of actions in unusual situations. I'm imagining a situation where a car comes across a parked truck on a one-way road (common in cities). A human operator comes in the loop to ensure that it's actually safe to switch lanes and pass. Check for things like emergency vehicles, unusual pedestrians, etc. They don't need to literally take the wheel, just confirm that the vehicle can take a specific action.
