Self Driving Tech

[glhs837]

Seems maybe we should have a place to just discuss this. This video showed two things.

1. Lots of comments asked how the Tesla could see the Waymo.
2. The stark difference in equipment levels between the two front runners in self driving.

The Tesla couldn't see the Waymo after moving behind the van, but it was visible before that and the Tesla must have predicted it would keep moving and so waited for it. Could have been someone behind it, so the Tesla did just what a human driver would, stuck its nose out enough to announce to oncomers it was there.

Look at the amount of stuff scabbed onto that Waymo. That's what makes it a $150K vehicle.



And yes, I know, some folks wont even entertain this until its legal to have it drive your drunk ass home.

Hmmm, wouldn't be the first time that someone claimed the vehicle was in FSD when it wasnt. Like oh so many unintended acceleration cases.

People are like that, remember the Prius rapid acceleration was a floor mat. If I remember someone on here tried to blame their car and it was in umbrella stuck under the brake pedal.

In that same vein though, wouldn't be the first time a car company tried to blame a flaw on user error that wasn't either.

No, it wouldn't. But in this case I tend to side with the fact that when it comes to driving people are idiots. And there's a garbage when I'm out of history showing that 99.99% of the time it's the people.

I call this one robo dick head even if that move is legal, it's not right.

Tesla both recognizes flagman signs and obeys them.

The Arc De Triomphe in France is considered tough. seven lanes full rotary, no markings. Note the visualization, how much the computer sees and tracks. That's real, not made up. Level 2, sure thing.
