It's a skill issue on the driver's part... or do you want the Tesla to come to a screeching halt on the highway every time the cameras white out from the sun?
I want vehicles that rely on cameras for detecting obstacles to be banned.
Anything that uses reasonable object detection methods should be banned if it lets you drive into a house. My Kia won't let me drive into a house.
Personally, I want cars that automate driving to use more than one type of sensor so that they react more realistically in more circumstances. Tesla going camera-only was a mistake and Elon just keeps doubling down on it.
This is the system that's meant to drive the car autonomously?
Autopilot will let a plane fly a heading, or even follow waypoints and land, but you the pilot still have to be watching the sky and the plane, ready to take over when something goes wrong. And airlines have way more stringent safety measures than cars.
That means auto drive systems still require the meatsack to monitor the driving, ready to take over when something goes wrong.
In this case, either the driver was hooning it and did a full send into the house, or he had a skill issue and put the ~~brake~~ accelerator to the floor in a panic moment.
Right so if autopilot swerves into oncoming traffic faster than the driver can react, that's the drivers fault? The creators of the software never have any culpability in your eyes?
I'd want it to not use sensors that get washed out by the sun. IR lidar, for example, instead of naive visible light cameras.
I didn't have FSD, but this is pretty much what cruise control / lane assist did.
