Tesla Robotaxi Stops Mid-Intersection After Running a Red Light… The Influencer Onboard Calls It “Impressive”
-
As a RADAR guy I have to say they need RADAR, but I might be biased. I suppose LIDAR would be nice too. There's something called sensor fusion where you combine the measurements of different sensors, ideally using different technologies to get better measurements.

Probably because robotaxi is written on the side of it. Clearly a warning to other drivers, to avoid accidents.
It's like having that "learner" sign most countries have on cars for people learning to drive.But I would 100% be allowing it to hit me if we are going slow enough that my car could be damaged enough and then sue the shit out of Tesla.

If a death threat doesn't leave an impression, what will?
Impressive in the most literal sense. Indeed.

This Tesla Robotaxi demo video is a mess.
Watch as the car makes a left turn from the wrong lane, ignoring a red light. The safety operator steps in, and the car comes to a stop… right in the middle of the intersection.
Eventually, it completes the illegal turn after blocking traffic for 45 seconds, which raises the question, what exactly is the safety operator there for?

It can be impressive and also still not be very good.

If the most relevant way to describe someone is “influencer”. Then everyone influenced by them is a moron.
I think Hank Green described it as a term marketers came up with. So, yeah it tracks.
I generally agree with hank

And radar is dirt cheap. Toss a radar module (or two!) under the hood, watch as your cars stop plowing into stuff in the frontal plane of movement. It's automation so simple that even Hyundai gets it right.

Or every bad driver in California. I see those stickers on cars being driven by 50 year olds.
That 50-year-old is still shaking from letting their kid drive to school, and is now going to work where they'll dread going back to pick their kid up and let them drive home. Or maybe a few more practices in empty parking lots first... Which are fucking hard to find by the way, they're all full of cars!

You know a 50 year old can be a student driver, right?
God, my wife right there. Started driving at 50 and she scares the shit out of me.

I was gonna say, ram that fucker and sue. Be funny if people started a trend.
"It blew a red light and stopped in the middle of the intersection!"
That's a slam dunk against a human driver.

It didn't just "Run a red light", it downright attempted a left turn in a lane meant to drive straight through. They're just lucky that the incoming traffic was stopped when it happened or they might have been t-boned.

Sorry I meant of course LIDAR.

Stopping might have still been a better result than turning in front of incoming traffic though

Hey you know what, lets just throw a million or more of these things into the real world right now. The sooner we can rack up the body count the sooner we can get grifters to scream into the zeitgeist about government control or whatever. Idk let tesla fuck up their value and live in infamy
As dumb as this tech is in its current state, it still seems safer to me than human drivers. So far they've had very few accidents. Human drivers will do a dangerous maneuver to get in front of you then at the red light they'll get out of the car and try kick your ass.

Thanks to whoever wrote "raises the question" instead of the commonly used yet incorrect "begs the question".

Impressive, I have always wanted to die in a car accident thanks Tesla!

Impressions are like dents left in the hood from the impact of pedestrians.

If the most relevant way to describe someone is "influencer". Then everyone influenced by them is a moron. They are just a mega moron. It's a safety hazard any of these vehicles are allowed on the road. Let alone, driving autonomously with no actual intelligence on board.
Another word for an individual: 'data point'

Its good Tesla gave the safety officers have the tools they need to keep things safe...
Or not.

I dont have an issue with any of them except tesla. I dont trust their "camera only" method on top of their phantom braking and acceleration, plus whatever else can fail and prevent you from getting out of the car
