There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
He was prolly fired bc he couldn’t program the thing to stop at a red light.
Also who knows when this footage was taken or if it was just test footage that has since been ironed out.
We need to build special roads so self driving cars can navigate properly.
You could even connect self driving cars together, by letting the front car pull them the others could save their batteries.
And with these “trains” of self driving cars pulling each other, you wouldn’t have to build the self driving car roads very wide, they could just run on narrow “tracks” for the wheels.
Then we’d have more space for human stuff instead of car stuff like roads and parking lots everywhere.
He’s done it again. Elon Musk is a god damn genius.
It is amazing how copos try to reinvent shittier versions of trains.
So sick of shit like this getting posted. Of course the software is not perfect. There are so many warnings about it not being independent of driver intervention it’s crazy. Yet here we are with the entire internet hating on Musk so much that we have to tear down the evolution of self driving cars, which is arguably the most complicated computing and programming problem in history. Bring on the downvotes but for the record, I think Musk is a douchebag but can separately appreciate the effort involved in the herculean task of programming cars that drive themselves.
JFC that’s frightening. It blew that red at about 30mph, didn’t even really slow down except for the curve.
Because the car didn’t recognize it as a red light, probably due to all the green lights that were facing a similar direction.
The issue is not the speed at which it took the turn, but that it cannot distinguish which traffic lights are for the lane the car is in.
