people are retarded. Tesla is "level 4" autopilot, meaning you have to everything yourself if something goes wrong. People on the internet are overhyping it, like they do with everything else,. only it's not a GPU or a phone, it's a car and people can die.
>>55350009

>>55349980

If I bought a Tesla, it wouldn't be for autopilot. I don't trust this robot who relies on a camera with limited dynamic range(like in this case)
>Before Autopilot can be used, drivers have to acknowledge that the system is an "assist feature" that requires both hands on the wheel. Drivers are told they need must be prepared to take over controls, the statement said.
>the Tesla driver was "playing Harry Potter on the TV screen"
Give this man a Darwin award, he deserves it.
>>55350064
While it is technically true that the most obvious form of depth sensor is a time of flight camera, you can also use sonar, radar, or lidar.
I believe the original Kinect has a fancy one that's still a depth camera, but isn't time of flight.

Just think about it, this man thought "Harry Potter is worth more than my life", before taking off.
Fucking faggots. Auto piloted cars for you lazy faggot Americans will never happen. It's even crazier that "beta" autopilot'd cars are even legal to use on public roads.
I worked on military aircraft in the air force for 6 years, and each system has at least one backup, but sometimes shit just goes bad out of nowhere, or systems glitch or stop working. The same can happen in a fucking car and if you think any regular American is going to be paying enough attention when shit hits the fan, you have another thing coming.
This is a country where people can't even stop fucking texting for 10 minutes while they're on the road. The US needs to give up this idea boner for Elon Musks bullshit.
>He acknowledged he couldn't see the movie, only heard it.
what? how do you "hear" a movie while going 60mph down a highway?
>>55350107
are you serious? they literally said the system is a driving-aid, not a full driver replacement. the car didnt kill him, he killed himself with his negligence.
>>55350129
Or you could just drive it yourself instead of relying on mass manufactured cars. Do they even know if a sensor will work as intended after their cars leave factory?

"Once the roads merged, the truck tried to get to the exit ramp on the right and never saw my Tesla. I actually wasn't watching that direction and Tessy (the name of my car) was on duty with autopilot engaged. I became aware of the danger when Tessy alerted me with the "immediately take over" warning chime and the car swerving to the right to avoid the side collision.... Tessy did great. I have done a lot of testing with the sensors in the car and the software capabilities. I have always been impressed with the car, but I had not tested the car's side collision avoidance. I am VERY impressed. Excellent job Elon!... Note 2: In case you're curious, I'm listening to an audiobook in the background. It's a Malcolm Gladwell book (excellent book)."
This guy was just a death waiting to happen. Even right in his videos description he notes that he wasn't paying any attention to the road, and was daydreaming about his fucking audiobook.
Now he's sucking Elon Musks dick in hell.
>>55350047
It's hardly a self driving car like what google has been developing.
It's mostly just cruise control with lane correction and automatic breaking. Nothing smart about it that can handle freak situations.

Pretty much. The extra automation of the car failed to save him from being an inattentive moron.
Granted its a small sample size but so far autopilot is ~40% safer than a human driver right now with one death in 130 million miles vs the average of 94. And all the cars will get to learn from this.
>>55350152
I'm not letting the dumbfucks ruin it for the rest of us.
Seeing as this guy was some Tesla advocate, he was clearly overly confident in his car at his own demise. >>55350283
>>55350205
The car has ultrasonic sensors. They have limited range and therefore aren't used for preventing these collisions. Radar is used for that, but Musk suggests overhead objects are assumed to be signs and could have been what caused this. I'm baffled that such low objects (compared to overhead signs that sit far higher accommodate trucks) aren't interpreted as an obstacle. Others are suggesting it was the truck's reflective surface that confused the radar.
What's the point of this if you need both hands on the wheel?

Probably not. It happened in what sounds like the middle of no where. Furthermore if the roof of the car got sheered off then you can bet the guy got decapitated and so the police are not too eager to release pictures of that.

>>55351419
it probably happened so fast that his face didn't reveal the kind of nuanced "oh i made a mistake" shit that you're hoping to see.
even if it did, looking for that from a fatality is really shitty of you. there are plenty of videos of idiots who've merely hurt themselves where you can see the same looks on their faces.

Reddit tier humour
>>55351550
as an american, i feel obligated to chime in that drivers in the US are unbelievably (and i really mean "so extreme as to be not believable") bad drivers. they're inattentive, prone to angry responses on the road, and generally quite dangerous.
we have both infrastructure (roads, etc...) and laws (speed limits and whatnot) to limit the damage that drivers can do, but if we catch someone watching a movie in their car we don't take away their licenses. when senile old people mow down a dozen or so people at a farmer's market (this is practically a cliche now), we still have controversy over whether we should maybe think about someday not letting dead people drive. nobody's even close to willing to propose taking licenses away from the elderly.
and if that weren't enough, every state is completely independent in this regard. so while you should get a CA license if you move to CA from NY, you won't get a ticket for at least a while.
the US is just fucking madness on the roads. this also makes it profoundly more dangerous for bicyclists, and the suburban sprawl plaguing most of the US makes being a pedestrian a non-starter, so the culture becomes an arms race where everyone gets a full size car or larger.
>>55351514
He was probably watching it on his phone and had Bluetooth connection to the cars audio.
The movies audio was probably playing from the remains of the vehicle.
I still think this is just as much teslas fault.
They marketed their enhanced cruise control as an actual self driving vehicle. I mean they even named it fucking "autopilot" why would they even do that shit?

butthurt faggot
>>55351629
It might be worthwhile to add the other end of the age spectrum: young adults, who are perhaps most motivated to win the independence afforded by driving, are not hammered on by the gravity of the responsibility. In most places the road tests are a joke, the probationary periods are short/unenforced/non-existent and the barrier to entry is relatively low. Kids who don't take driving as a gravely serious task become grown ass adults who give no shits as well.
>>55351664

>>55351643
I'd be genuinely surprised if the phone, Bluetooth link and audio system all survived the top of the cabin getting sheared off. Especially given that YouTube video where you see his phone in one of those vent clip mounts. I'm not calling 100% bullshit. Just genuine surprise and respect for the manufacturers.
I think Autopilot is a fine name on a technicality, in that it's "auto-matic" and not "auto-nomous." However I still think their implementation is wrong. Just like an aircraft, for example, Mercedes implements enhanced cruise control with multiple levels of engagement. From no hands it'll ding-dong you into "please touch the wheel" mode, and then from there to "both hands on the wheel now" as its confidence in the situation decreases. So yeah, I do still blame Tesla in part, primarily because this guy probably went from 65 to guillotine without any dings or dongs.
>>55351676
that's fair. i think the general takeaway is that the entire culture around driving is a little fucked up, but the institutions that are supposed to determine things like who can drive and who can't are absolutely comatose.
in europe (both the UK and the EU) my sense is that getting a license isn't as trivial as falling out of your bed on a saturday morning, wasting a day in a shitty industrial building, and then winging the practical exam. but that's sort of how it is here (if you're under 18 in many states they try to strongly suggest driver's education but it's absolute shit).
the whole system is incredibly leaky.
>>55350098
Quite the opposite. Tesla has brought more domestic jobs to the US in recent years than any other outsourcing automotive we company.

I think there are European countries with sufficient corruption to still allow for it. In fact that complicates the "safeguard" in the US that licenses need to be reissued as residence changes. The EU has a standardized license which must only be updated to match a new country of residence upon renewal--either 10 or 15 years from its issuance, depending on where you got it. In the US, as you pointed out, states expect you to change over relatively quickly and the expiration period is generally much shorter than 10-15 years.
There's room for improvement in both regions. I would agree that the changes needed in the US are practical, whereas the ones in the EU are more bureaucratic.
>>55349850
this is why a LIDAR implementation of an autopilot system is superior (but more costly) then a more simply camera based one.
Any pictures of the accident/wreck ?
>>55352006
Apart from cost, isn't LIDAR also terribly more fussy about inclement weather? I know that Tesla sells where I live and we've got a healthy dose of all four seasons. It would have to cope with every form of precipitation including cats and dogs.
Can't wait until apple puts out their cars and they start decapitating faggots and siri starts giving the headless cadavers directions to the nearest emergency room.

He ended up going under the side of the semi, which basically took off the top of the car and his upper torso with it
that how the movie ended up still playing
>>55352200
That's what I find impressive. Lopping off the top of the car somehow didn't significantly damage the phone mounted on an air vent, the electronics related to Bluetooth pairing nor the audio system of the car. (Unless it did and the only survivor was the phone, which reverted to its own speaker once BT disconnected. I actually hadn't considered that before and it's far less surprising now.)
>>55352224
i mean if you imagine where wiring and whatnot would go, i can't fathom how it would all run through the upper part of the car.
i'm somewhat surprised that the car didn't kind of fold inward with the top off. i figured the batteries at the bottom weighed a lot and needed the top to keep the whole thing sort of held up, but i guess not that either.

>>55352373
>why is steering and acceleration so objectionable to you when gear shifting and all this other shit is fine?
Because with no control of the first 2 you'll surely die. The other shit is fine because you still keep control of the car, you're only handing secondary stuff to the car like ABS, traction control and gear shifting, power steering doesn't really interfere either. All those can fail and you still have control of your car.
>>55350064
Most vehicles have Sensor rating 2, which means you can pick Camera and Ultrasound sensors for free. And I don't really see why would you choose anything else.
>>55352507
you're casting a false dichotomy where you give up any possible intervention on the driver's part. self-driving modes can disengaged trivially, just like cruise control.
you're also significantly downplaying the seriousness of losing ABS in inclement weather, power steering at high speeds, and myriad other automatic features in conditions we typically consider mundane.

Call me an absolute madman. But barring EXTREMELY wet read conditions, I'm pretty sure the loss of power steering or ABS while I'm still paying attention to the car is going to be far less impactful to my status as living than IGNORING THE ROAD and relying solely on "autopilot".
What he did is hardly "marginal". He saw that his car had a feature labeled "autopilot" and took it to it's logical extreme by ignoring the road and any other potential dangers. He trusted machines way more than most people would, and the responses you're getting so pissy and triggered about are evidence of that.

prone to angry responses is a global problem. It's true though that the attentiveness is often close to zero, especially on highways. dull broad roads - what could go wrong? driving a chore and not a task.
>>55353745
since autopilots are supposed to be trusted one day, this is indeed a setback.

well some european countries are the other extreme. getting your licence will be like getting an animal with a claw machine, even after you have had plenty of classes.
>Watching movie while on autopilot
>Fast enough to clip off a telephone pole a quarter mile past the semi trailer.
Is this what they mean by "insane mode"?
I think the issue here is not that people still die in self driving cars, the issue is that the reason here is completely technical. Sure, if other people fuck up, even the computer can't do much against it, so you'd expect that. But an autopilot that fully relies on the dynamic range of a camera being sufficiently high to make all objects discernible? That is just careless. You need to have more robust sensors in a car before introducing a system like that. Shifting the responsibility to the driver who supposedly needs to be vigilant at all times is just naive. You simply cannot expect that.

Why is the truck driver, who crossed a highway without checking for cross traffic, not being talked about?
>>55353627
Kekked hard
>>55362431
why should we ban legally blind people? I know plenty that drive better than the aggressive hoodlums that are allowed to drive. not fair
The driver of the truck is at fault for not yielding like you are supposed to when merging.
The driver who was apparently "tech savvy" was really a middle aged dad who had the funds to buy stupid shit.
Elon Musk is at fault for creating these abortions and calling them cars. Then his "company" had the nerve to call cruise control "auto-pilot."
I have driven a Tesla, the "auto-pilot" is no different than a high end Mercedes cruise control.
Tesla should be sued to shit for this terrible advertising.
Also: thank you based god for setting back self driving for at least another decade.

My bad, I am familiar with this I live in rural Indiana. Either way the truck driver should have been more aware of what he was doing.
The tesla loser should have been driving his toy instead of letting "auto-pilot" more commonly known as CRUISE CONTROL do it for him.
Tesla should be shut down for being dumb enough to call a cruise control "auto-pilot."

It's adaptive cruise control for cruising down a highway, they tell you that you still have to keep your hands on the wheel and whatnot, it's just to let you relax and enjoy the drive more on long distance commute type stuff.

Tesla REQUIRES the drivers to supervise the car at all times so accidents like this don't happen.
The miles are then counted.

Autopilot, automated pilot
They are not calling it advanced cruise control with lane swapping. Because they are retard millenials who wanted the exposure. Well, now they got it.
And don't bring up the plane autopilots. Pilots are skilled professionals, who know the limitations of the technology, where as the user of a tesla is a fucktard normie who could pay $100k for a car.
>>55349850
Tessy did the right thing.

I'll try to explain this to you but you're like a triple fuck up or something. The truck driver heard it playing after the crash hence the video must have been destroyed in the crash but the audio was still working and yes, you can hear a movie playing while doing 60mph considering the windows are rolled up in a practically sound proof state of the art vehicle.
>>55350221

It has LIDAR but the reasoning is that it ignores objects like road signs above the highway.
More interested as to how it still hit a telephone pole, though.

I'm betting it was the tractor-trailer's fault and he's lying out of his arse to cover himself. His story doesn't check out as soon as he said the other driver was watching Harry Potter. You can't watch movies on them Tesla. Also the preliminary reports does say the Tractor trailer turned left right in front of the Tesla.
