> I also don't recall traffic cones being a very difficult problem beyond Cruise + cones on windshield in SF. I have no love for Cruise. But its straightforward to pause if there's a large object on the windshield. Waymo had a big mistake with cones where a lane was blocked off for construction and they thought it was the inverse and started driving down the blocked off side: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4O9QfUE5uI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4O9QfUE5uI full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdKCQKBvH-A&t=12m24s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdKCQKBvH-A&t=12m24s In the statement before that timestamp they say some of it was caused by remote operator error. But it seems to have enough problems with cones to need an operator in the first place, and you can see the planner is wrong. I think Cruise would be using a human or at least summoning one to oversee in any situation with unexpected cones, based on what they have said about how often they use remote assistance too.
