In case you were worried about the roads being too safe, you can rest easily knowing that Teslas will be rolling out with unsupervised "Full Self Driving" in a couple days.
It doesn't seem to be going great, even in supervised mode. This one couldn't safely drive down a simple, perfectly straight road in broad daylight :( Veered off the road for no good reason. Glad nobody got badly hurt.
We analyze the onboard camera footage, and try to figure out what went wrong. Turns out, a lot. We also talk through how camera-only autonomous cars work, Tesla's upcoming autonomous taxi rollout, and how AI hallucinations figure into everything.

Good thing it doesn’t have LIDAR sensors on the front, repair would be much more expensive

Flipping an EV is no small feat, especially a sedan. The damned center of gravity is basically at the middle of the wheels.

"Tesla, return to origin."

Inb4 Elon tweets that this actually is a good thing, then tries to claim that the car will protect the driver from harm. Even though the car literally crashed itself 🫠

"wow, ummmmmm--" stares off into space for 5 ketamine-soaked seconds "... The cyber-airbags worked better than designed." - Elon

Here's a link directly to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frGoalySCns
Now here's a fun experiment: start from the beginning, and pause as soon as you think the car is about to do something dangerous. That's your correction time - I was probably front wheels off the road before I paused.

I was front wheels off the road by the time my reaction time hit the mouse button.
And a mouse button is faster to activate than a steering wheel :,|

Does insurance cover that?

what else was it suppose to do, its trying to be autonomous.

Yeah well, machine learning for controlling cars works most of the time. Sometimes it doesn't.
KayLeadfoot@fedia.io · 11 pts · 1y
That feels like a great reason to not apply machine learning to a problem.

Just wait for the "self-driving" tractor trailers...

Aurora Innovation already has 20 trucks on a highway in Texas as a pilot program. Unlike Tesla's design, they don't rely on cameras and have LIDAR/RADAR all over the place.

I'm actually research Aurora right now for another piece.
Much better technical setup than Tesla. Tesla isn't even trying to apply their consumer FSD tech to their semi product.

Do you folks remember a DLC mission in watchdogs 2 ? Hmmmm....
