In case you were worried about the roads being too safe, you can rest easily knowing that Teslas will be rolling out with unsupervised โ€œFull Self Drivingโ€ in a couple days.

It doesnโ€™t seem to be going great, even in supervised mode. This one couldnโ€™t safely drive down a simple, perfectly straight road in broad daylight :( Veered off the road for no good reason. Glad nobody got badly hurt.

We analyze the onboard camera footage, and try to figure out what went wrong. Turns out, a lot. We also talk through how camera-only autonomous cars work, Teslaโ€™s upcoming autonomous taxi rollout, and how AI hallucinations figure into everything.

    Good thing it doesnโ€™t have LIDAR sensors on the front, repair would be much more expensive

    Flipping an EV is no small feat, especially a sedan. The damned center of gravity is basically at the middle of the wheels.

    Inb4 Elon tweets that this actually is a good thing, then tries to claim that the car will protect the driver from harm. Even though the car literally crashed itself ๐Ÿซ

    Hereโ€™s a link directly to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frGoalySCns

    Now hereโ€™s a fun experiment: start from the beginning, and pause as soon as you think the car is about to do something dangerous. Thatโ€™s your correction time - I was probably front wheels off the road before I paused.

      I was front wheels off the road by the time my reaction time hit the mouse button.

      And a mouse button is faster to activate than a steering wheel :,|

    Yeah well, machine learning for controlling cars works most of the time. Sometimes it doesnโ€™t.

      Aurora Innovation already has 20 trucks on a highway in Texas as a pilot program. Unlike Teslaโ€™s design, they donโ€™t rely on cameras and have LIDAR/RADAR all over the place.

        Iโ€™m actually research Aurora right now for another piece.

        Much better technical setup than Tesla. Tesla isnโ€™t even trying to apply their consumer FSD tech to their semi product.
