This is how we find out Teslas don’t swerve to avoid black pedestrians or something
Teslas don’t swerve around stationary objects it can’t recognize.
There were 2 or 3 Teslas that drove full speed into stopped firetrucks because they didn’t recognize them.
There’s gonna be someone standing in the road that’s gonna get run over by a tesla trying to pass someone driving around the pedestrian.
My understanding is that this is only for crash testing.
But I also have no idea how the US would determine if a fully automated car is safe for the road.
Is it going to be forcing an automated car to pass a road test in every state to become a licensed driver and thus the company selling the software is liable?
Nah. You could already crash test them all you wanted without drivers. Off the public road, on private property, there’s really nothing that says how you can and can’t operate a vehicle. This is quite definitely a law about putting fully-automated vehicles on the public road.
Did you read?
The rules revise regulations that assume vehicles “will always have a driver’s seat, a steering wheel and accompanying steering column, or just one front outboard passenger seating position.”
It’s allowing them to not have drivers seat for crash testing certification. As the current assumption was based around a drivers seat, not all passenger seats.
Crash testing regulations apply to vehicles that will be driven on public roads. If you’re not going to drive it on public roads, nobody can tell you whether or not it needs a driver’s seat or controls. Nobody is going to crash test them without the seat/controls and then install those things in order to put it on the road, dude. “Just for crash testing” is a monumentally big-brained take that doesn’t consider context at all.
Someone got that video of a tesla repeatedly trying to turn right and drive onto railroad tracks and needing aggressive correction to find the street paralell to it?
People can and will die because of this
yeah the AI is nowhere near the level of sophistication that Tesla marketing has made it out to be. Neural networks are incapable of recognizing obstacles in situations where there is a lot of sun glare hitting the camera and/or rain/snow. So, you know, normal weather conditions. On top of that self-driving cars are bad at anticipating how slippery the roads get when frozen. On top of that, it is trivially easy to sabotage the cameras. On top of that I have seen footage of self-driving cars blowing through stop signs and road blocks. Recipe for death all around. Couple that with the flammable lithium ion batteries and you have vehicles that are a danger to themselves and everyone around them.
rail please :yes-honey-left:
