I'd say that point was a bit less than a decade ago - Aug 10, 2015.

It does use the horn, but it's not clear whether it can/did in these incidents.

Lidar works just fine in the rain, there are videos on YouTube of Waymo and Cruise AVs driving in rain.

Cruise went from nothing to a public driverless service in Austin in 90 days, and that involves a LOT more than just mapping the area. Waymo had a comparable timeline for expanding to downtown Phoenix from the suburbs. Mapping is not the a

They have a bunch of driverless cars driving around at night, but they've so far only been serving a handful of rides per day, and there's a waitlist to get access. So it's not really open to crazy drugged out criminal anti-t

China is investing heavily in robotaxis too, and also has active deployments in large cities (which also have transit). I'm not sure why you're trying to make this about Americans.

> Current state of autonomous driving is not sophisticated enough to predict cars crossing lanes that's turning and crossing your lane from oncoming traffic. This is just completely false. AV software stacks absolutely can and do pr

The risks of under-hiring if things had continued and not being able to keep up with competitors was probably just too great. It's much easier to simply lay people off if the bubble pops than to play catch up if it doesn't.

> Or if you are turning left you should try to make room on your right, so that those going straight can get around you. No way Waymo vehicles will be doing that. Why do you say that? In this video you can see it doing exactly that, pull

They do work in rain, mostly (maybe not really heavy rain or flooded streets etc.)

You do realize that people are being whisked door to door in an urban environment today , right? And not just by Waymo but Cruise as well. Sure it's small scale at the moment and not available to the average person, but it's ha

Nah, your understanding is incorrect. I've used it in Phoenix and it goes places a bus wouldn't like residential culdesacs and parking lots (whithin the geofence).

The car handles a lot of those situations on its own, but can also call remote operators if it's confused, who will instruct it on how to proceed. As to the earlier question about intersections at steep streets, I would guess they just

It is not a "course", the employees request to be picked up and dropped off anywhere in the city, just like requesting an Uber/Lyft ride.

Waymo is doing autonomous driving though, autopilot is driver assist, they're not even remotely the same product.

That's how the start of an exponential growth trend works.

They're cool about openly discussing it because this is all industry standard stuff. It's a lot of work and impressive, but table stakes for being a serious player in the AV space, which is why the cost of entry is in the billion

Of course autopilot and FSD are safer than unaided human driving. That's because a human is still required to be in ultimate control. They are aids to the human, not replacements for the human.

Gold might be a better example then.

Humans have general intelligence and understand what their eyes are perceiving at a far deeper level than any CV system.

As far as I can tell all the videos have a licensed driver in the front left seat. I don't know how anyone can call that "full self driving", let alone ahead of other players.

I might have missed some news, has Tesla already deployed completely empty cars on public roads?

To me that's fine. The S&P 500 isn't going to instantly spike back up to 3000. There is real damage being done to corporate bottom lines. The negative growth experienced by companies during a recession compounds into all fu

Natural language is a lot more expressive than boolean expressions of keywords. Perhaps experienced searchers who use the same approach to query formulation that worked well two decades ago are no longer the true power users. Maybe they a

Kevin Burns was only CEO for about 1.5 years, so I would put the blame on marketing to kids on his predecessor.

The common denominator is Larry Page. He has great technical vision, but it's evident that he is an awful judge of character and a poor manager who was out of touch with what was really going on and unable to exert control over his re

For me it's not just about having social needs met, it's also that for a lot of engineering work in-person collaboration is crucial. Serendipitous interactions are important. Passionate discussions involving emotion and empathy

They work better than closed offices, in my experience, for the roles I've worked in (software engineering). I'm way more likely to ask a co-worker over to my desk to show them something or have a discussion if they're a few
