I have no confidence that Tesla will fix this before the planned Robo-Taxi rollout in Austin in 2 weeks.

After all, they haven’t fixed it in the last 9 years that self-driving Teslas have been on the road.

    only a tesla could collide with the very road it’s driving on

    I get that’s not what “hit the road” means but I stand by what I said

      I still don’t get how anyone thought this notion was ever considered a good strategy for anything… it clearly shows these people have no skin in the game because there is no way they would break their own things

        I’m developing a game engine, that is currently unpopular, instead of trying to make the old API work with the new rendering system, I just decided to completely redo a lot of stuff. It was mandatory for the GUI subsystem as previously it was a spaghetti code of mess, now it’s a pretty well usable thing. It was less mandatory with the sprite and tile rendering, but I needed to adjust stuff to OpenGL, as previously it used the CPU.

        This is exactly what it is. Move fast, and break other people’s things. Then never fucking take responsibility

      A German party campaigned under the slogan “Digital first. Bedenken second” (Sic, i.e. mostly english). Bedenken means concerns.

      They were punished pretty hard last election.

    So it’s working as intended, if everyone is scared of walking or driving with those killer-taxis roaming around, some people will be tricked into hiding inside the killer-robo-taxis.

      The only way that you can stop a crazy-killer-robo-taxi is to have your own craxy-killer-robo-taxi.

      Craxy-killer-robo-taxi don’t kill people… Oh wait, they do.

    Can’t wait for the robo taxis to get vandalized.

    Barring that, can’t wait until they fail miserably.

    If their “AI” wind shield wipers could identify…rain?..I’d be more hopeful about identifying a child.

    This one is pretty unforgivable. Supposedly the ability to detect these situations was added in December (according to the article) but it’s clearly not working very well. Something like this should 100% pause the rollout of robo-taxis.

    For normal cars though, the drivers should press the brakes to disable FSD when they see their car not slowing down when approaching a stopped bus like this.

      Except the big danger with fully self driving cars is that drivers are not paying attention at all as they have nothing to do most of the time. They’ll be on their phones regardless of what theyre supposed to do and that will cause deaths. So such a glaring safety flaw will have numerous opportunities to happen in real life - humans do not make good safety features in cars; thats what the self drive stuff was for.

      Teslas self drive technology is not fit for the roads regardless of this. Musk had sensors stripped out pf the cars design to save money because apparently he knows better than all the worlds self drive engineers. The guy is a just an investment bro woth a huge ego - he can’t let the people hes investing in get onwith it, because he sees himself as a “genius”. The guys a moron.

        Linus tech tips recently reviewed a car with semi auto self driving. It can keep you in the lane and at the right speed. He said it’s perfect for school zones because he knows he doesn’t have to watch the Speedo and give that extra attention to watching for kids walking out. I have to agree with him, there is a school on my commute and the speed drops to 20mph. I let the car do that bit while I worry about little (or sometimes big) feet.

        Would I trust that system to spot a child before I do? Not a chance.

          That’s why I use the speed limiter in residential areas. I can’t drive faster so I don’t have to check the speed. But when I take my foot of the pedal, the car slows down.

          Outside residential area and on highway I use the adaptive cruise control.

        So no different to in non self-driving cars then.

      Might also explain why they’re the only ones that seem to have all this knowledge of a population crisis that no one else is aware of.

      Thank God for the technocratic elite, and their foresight to know their plans for greatness will almost certainly wipe out the entire U.S. population. Hazard of being part of the unwashed masses, I guess.

      Glad they are doing all this while they simultaneously argue that a loss of our personal liberty is a small price to pay for their protection. If they weren’t keeping us safe from… ::gestures vaguely:: China(?) then who would?

      Yeah the draconian punishment and outcry when someone dares to overtake a school bus is absolutely laughable.

      Give that child chance to be shot the next day in school! Or starve to death, because they can’t afford school lunches.

      If we did the Carolina Lean is a bigger threat than Elon, but somehow that’s legal in most states.

        They don’t actually care about the unborn either. They just want women to suffer, that’s always been the only goal.
