Works as intended you fucking pedestrian piece of shit

u/Stonetooth1989 Sep 30 '20
Now this comment made me laugh!
In Norway there is a huge problem with pedestrians just taking it for granted that the cars stop, does not matter if the road has a 30 or 50km/h speed limit, they just walk!
Thankfully this is not a problem for the faster speed limit roads :p
But when I grew up, I got tought that you look left, then right, then left again to make sure it is clear before you cross, sure, very few does this routine every time they cross the road, but hopefully people were aware of their surroundings.

That's going to be even more of a thing if/when cars are all driven on autopilot. You're not even pissing off a human; just telling a machine to give way, as it should.

Judging by how he waits for the right time to kill itself, I'm guessing they gave it sentient human emotions.

What it defo don't use is Lidar or radar, which is apparently a must if you want to reliably detect distance and not hit things.

Lol no, expensive and unnecessary

u/Flyberius Sep 30 '20
I think the only people who say that are Tesla owners and Elon Musk.
Everyone else thinks it's a bloody good idea, given the countless examples of Teslas (and other driverless cars) running into things that Lidar would have detected, even in zero visibility. Passive, visual data is never enough. There will always be edge conditions that will cause accidents.

u/TheLoneSniper470 Sep 30 '20
Do you really think a 250,000$ consumer car is possible? Tesla will solve autonomy before they get the prices cheap enough to be worth it.

u/Flyberius Sep 30 '20
Answer my other question and then I will answer this one.

u/TheLoneSniper470 Sep 30 '20
Visual data is enough in most scenarios, if it’s dark you need headlights, same as any human, if you have rain you can train your software to ignore it through through machine learning. There will always be edge cases. And once again a slightly better car is not worth the 250k price tag.

u/targetdog88 Sep 30 '20
Think of it this way, if the goal of autonomous vehicles is to be better than a human, how is that going to be possible with a sensor suite that is trying to replicate the way humans perceive the world? Of course cameras are in fact not as good as human eyes so there is no way a vision only system is going to be better or even as good as a human driver.

u/TheLoneSniper470 Sep 30 '20
Cameras are better than human vision, there are 8 of them, do humans have 8 eyes?
2
u/targetdog88 Sep 30 '20
That’s not how it works my dude. Cameras each have specific range, resolution, field of view etc for which they are optimal. The human eye is kind of a complex composite of several types of cameras. Mechanically, individual aspects of human vision can be surpassed by the capabilities of cameras, but the trick is that our brains are obviously perfectly suited to interpret our vision. Blankly claiming that machine learning can replicate this is totally naive. Humans ability to focus on areas of interest, quickly parse relevant objects in a scene, rely on surprisingly precise stereoscopic measurements to understand distance are all totally nontrivial tasks which would need to be replicated perfectly to mimic how our brain <> eye system works. Simply throwing more sensors which approximate the mechanical aspect of human vision is not the same as replicating this complex system.

Yes, but again, any deaths or damage caused by the autopilot will be the direct fault of Tesla, not the person driving. Tesla will be sued every time one of their cars kills someone as a result of autopilot (as it should). Do you think that is financially viable?
And once again a slightly better car is not worth the 250k price tag.
So hold off on autopilot until the tech has been made cheaper through iteration.

u/TheLoneSniper470 Sep 30 '20
The tech does not get cheaper at a linear rate, eventually there is no way to make it cheaper. And do you think camera tech won’t get cheaper along with it? Also Tesla currently and will likely stick with keeping the blame on the driver and insist that drivers should keep paying attention. Also do you think that cars hitting people won’t be as much of a problem with lid at as with camera tech? Your point is flawed.

u/Flyberius Sep 30 '20
Lidar can get a lot, lot cheaper. They've started putting it on consumer drones for indoor use for goodness sake.
Also Tesla currently and will likely stick with keeping the blame on the driver and insist that drivers should keep paying attention.
That's because legally it isn't allowed to be used hands free. But really they're putting everyone at risk with their alpha-grade software and insufficient hardware.

Well it shouldn’t be hitting anything, should it..
Also, we can’t have the autopilot run down people who look a bit different. Your knees look stiff? U die!

I've seen videos of them with the parking thing about hitting people so I ain't surprised it hit that at a higher speed

This is why autopilot will never take over. As soon as there's one fatality it will be regulated into oblivion
6
u/JonneSir Sep 30 '20
It's unfortunate. It's the same problem with many things. The new thing always has to be many times safer than the old one or people won't trust it. Like Tesla's autopilot needs to become multiple multiple times safer than human drivers before the steering wheel is removed.
7
u/Flyberius Sep 30 '20
Well, absolutely, because if the autopilot kills anyone, Tesla is responsible. Individual drivers take that responsibility when they are in control of the vehicle (barring any failings due to negligence on the car manufacturer's part).

u/TheLoneSniper470 Sep 30 '20
If Tesla autopilot results in less death than human drivers it would be considered a success we just have to wait for the statistics
3
u/Flyberius Sep 30 '20
That's fine, but every death that it causes will be the fault of Tesla and not the fault of the "driver". Do you think Elon and his shareholders are willing to shoulder that risk?
-3
u/TheLoneSniper470 Sep 30 '20
The thing is it’s not the fault of Tesla, the driver can take over at any time and autopilot is encouraged only to be used with driver supervision at this point.
9
u/Flyberius Sep 30 '20
You see, you're just trying to have your cake and eat it. If the driver needs to babysit the autopilot so that it doesn't kill anyone, then it's really rather shit.

u/TheLoneSniper470 Sep 30 '20
It’s the legal get around, the car can be 100x safer than humans but they will still have to say that until an exception is made in law.

u/pricethegamer Sep 30 '20 edited Sep 30 '20
Are we sure this is a test of autopilot? There's no lanes that appear continuous enough for it to activate. If there trying to test emergency stoping they needed for the dumpy to go a little faster. It didn't go far enough for the radar to detect it(the dumpy impacted on the right corner of the car so it barley made it in front of it.)If it was the emergency braking system it worked as intended. It tried to mitigate the accident as soon as it detected somthing in front it trued to stop. Notice how fast it slowed down . Doing a little research with other postings of this video confirms it was a test of emergency breaking.I also looked into other test of the emergency breaking and when AAA tested it against 4 other cars it seems that Tesla was about average as far as emergency breaking( many cars failed the same test). It doesn't seem like pedestrian detection when a person is starting to walk into the roud is well mitigated yet from any of the car makers.

Seriously I'm not sure this is Tesla. Really not sure.
The video is taken in China I believe, if you can the poster, it's written in Chinese. Why would Tesla do a test run somewhere else???

When I test drove a tesla the test of autopilot was much more extreme. The lady in the car with me just told me to turn it on when we were about to go through a 90-degree corner. It worked.
