Someone should let Waymo, Zoox, Pony.ai, Apollo Go, and even Tesla know!
- belZaah 1y agoThey know. There’s a big difference being able to navigate the 80% of everyday driving situations and doing the 20% most people manage just fine but cars struggle with. There’s a road in these parts: narrow, twisty in three dimensions, unmarked, trees close to the road. Gets jolly slippery in the winter. I can drive that road in the middle of the night in sleet. Can an autonomous car?
- enos_feedler 1y agoi think it can figure it out.
- forgetfreeman 1y agoYes but why should it?
- 1718627440 1y agoBecause that's the requirement to be allowed to drive on a public road.
- another_twist 1y agoSomeone should let the rest of this pack know. Waymo is in a different league. I honestly didnt understand the arguments. Could someone TLDR please ?
- kristjansson 1y agoPart of the points of fallacies one and four is that a human can get out of the car and walk into work as a CPA or whatever, while even the autonomous-ish offerings of Waymo et al don’t necessarily advance the ball on other domains
- joshribakoff 1y agoI let them know today — when i laid on my horn while passing a Waymo stopped at a green light blocking the left turn lane — with its right blinker on. Re: Tesla, this company paid me nearly $250,000 under multiple lemon law claims for their “self driving” software issues i identified that affected safety. We all know what happened with Cruise, which was after i declared myself constructively dismissed. I think the characterization in the article is fair, “self driving” is not quite there yet.
- Cthulhu_ 1y agoI need to ask because I'm curious, are you using em-dashes ironically, habitually from the Before Times, or did you run your comment through chatgpt first? Or have I been brainwashed into emdash == AI always?
- lovecg 1y agoThey’re putting spaces around the em-dashes which is—believe it or not—incorrect usage. ChatGPT doesn’t put in spaces. (I’m annoyed by this since I learned about em-dashes long before AI and occasionally use them in writing, which now gets me an occasional AI accusation)
- 1718627440 1y agoNot the whole world has the same typographic conventions. To me omitting the word separator across a symbol designed to separate half-way sentences seems wrong.
- kortilla 1y agoWaymo doesn’t drive on highways and needs huge break in periods to even expand its boundaries in cities it’s already operating in.
- samtp 1y agoWay to argue a sentence out of context that has very little to do with the overall post.
