Self-driving cars cannot navigate entire cities. No.

lyralycan@sh.itjust.works · 31 pts · 39d

From what I've seen self-driving cars can navigate a 4 mile pre-learned route from the showroom to the delivery truck co.

Yup waymos are all over the place in phx area. Teslas might not do it but that doesnโ€™t mean nobody can. This isnโ€™t even Chinese electric cars with crazy features as well

Tesla is an industry joke. Keep your eyes peeled for Zoox.

Phoenix (and LA) are famous for basically not having weather. These things are working well in Richmond, or Boston.

AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 39d

Phoenix has all their weather in Late Aug through Early Sep, in the form of monsoons and haboobs. Then again in late Jan through early Feb, in the form of frost and a light dusting of snow that immediately melts.

Your source is waymo's own propaganda (which is NOT about cities in general it's about nine specific American cities), my source against even that much is everyone else seeing them get stuck regularly:

Anyways, I'll leave you to your corporate dick sucking.

lemmyseikai@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 39d (6 replies)

I swear you are implying you have never seen a human get stuck navigating a car for what would seem to be mundane or pointless reasons...

DarkCloud@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 39d (4 replies)

Humans all have different levels of competency, Waymos all have the same level.

lemmyseikai@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 39d (3 replies)

How is this relevant?

If it is relevant it's a strong premise to add to the argument to why we need to strip people of their licenses, but that's not germaine to the conversion.

DarkCloud@lemmy.world · -3 pts · 39d (2 replies)

Dumbass, it means what causes one waymo an accident or blockage, blocks them all. This is not so with drivers. What's more drivers learn immediately.

Take your anti-human, pro-billionaire bullshit elsewhere. My point was already proven with Waymo its self not being able to tackle cities in general... Which is the fucking topic. Not how much you'll bend over for them.

lemmyseikai@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 39d

I am not anti human or pro billionaire. Your inferences about me are unfounded. I am calling you out for a lack of functional argument. Your statement "Waymo cannot navigate cities" loads the idea that because there Waymo lacks a human there is no variance in decision making.

Let's concede, for sake of argument, all Waymo make the same decision every time without fail.

Let's further suppose a group of persons learned to drive and were told you cannot pull out into the intersection for a left turn. Now you have a group of people who clearly will make the same decision and hold up traffic.

If there is no one to inform them and in some sense reprogram this, then they will continue to do this ad nauseum.

Thus, there is no functional difference beyond your pre-loaded bias about Waymo cars and improperly trained human drivers.

Plot twist: they can't navigate entire cities. Some very well maintained streets, maybe.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world · 40 pts · 39d (13 replies)

Maybe we should build streets especially for them, then. Except I don't think they'll need the full width of a normal street. With their computer-driven precision they could probably get by with just a couple of narrow strips of metal.

zikzak025@lemmy.world · 32 pts · 39d (7 replies)

And you could probably optimize traffic by increasing the size of the cars to include a lot more seats, or even standing room. Or even connecting multiple cars together for efficiency if there are a lot of other people who want to take the same route.

searabbit@piefed.social · 9 pts · 39d (2 replies)

People always complain about "reinventing the wheel," but it just brings me so much joy when the discussion inevitably ends in rediscovering trains as the ideal mode of transportation.

Trains are good but trolleys are too

WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 39d

I'm fairly sure trebutchets are the ultate mode of transportation though.

I always wondered why Vampires don't just eat the salt.

addie@feddit.uk · 21 pts · 39d

Really traditional vampires are super OCD; one of the ways to get rid of them is to spill a big bag of eg. rice in front of them, and they'll spend so long counting every grain that they'll get caught by the rising sun. Salt ought to work as well?

One grain of salt, two grains of salt. Ah ha ha ha. Three grains of salt...

Whomst the fuck tried to use a fae as a substitute for a daemon? It's called a daemon engine not a fairy engine, there's a reason we don't use fae and it's shit like this and them just inventing new terms of service. Shoddy craft all around, whoever made this needs to return to Zharr-Naggrund and be made into an Infernal Guard.
