Tesla Robotaxi misses left-turn and drives into oncoming traffic lane casually
- ryandrake 1y agoVideo is pretty scary. The software doesn’t even seem to have a remote idea of what commands it should be sending to the steering system, but it sends the commands anyway, causing it to jerk back and forth between “I think I turn here” and “I think I go straight.” What cities are these garbage cars being tested in, so I can avoid driving, biking, or walking there?

- burnt-resistor 1y agoAfter wrecking the suspension of 2 e-scooters downtown from craptastic roads, I can say nothing of value would be lost from avoiding downtown ATX.
- foobarbecue 1y agoScary indeed. Steering input looks like it's an unstable (increasing amplitude) oscillator.

- anyonecancode 1y agoVote in 2026 to make sure we can vote for a different NTSB in 2028.

- nablaxcroissant 1y agoThis seems like a failure mode where LIDAR wouldn't have helped. A completely flat and mostly empty road where the only real features are lane lines seems to be entirely a vision issue. Not really an excuse for tesla considering vision should be what they are good at, but the whole LIDAR issue seems to be overemphasized.
- op00to 1y ago> flat … empty … only real features are lane lines You mean a road? This is hilariously awful.
- lolc 1y agoI'm pretty sure other companies solve this with very precise maps of lanes. Tesla still relies on vision only apparently. Lidar could help by providing accurate positioning. Though I guess cameras should be good enough for lane position when they scan surrounding features too.
- lolc 1y agoLooks like they don't have lane-accurate maps and are still following their vision-only doctrine.
