Elon Musk btfo!
>Tesla described the accident as an anomaly: a tractor trailer drove across a highway, perpendicular to the Model S. “Neither Autopilot nor the driver noticed the white side of the tractor trailer against a brightly lit sky, so the brake was not applied,” the company said.

>>79406925
so, you're saying that, if the driver had seen the trailer, and applied the brakes, the person might've survived?
or that the trailor was a dumbfuck who literally crossed a HIGHWAY wasn't at fault?
1 autopilot fatality isn't that bad when you compare it to the millions of driver related fatalities
So the problem was still a human driver? No shit.
Self driving cars need not be perfect to be adopted. They need only be as good or better than the average driver.
As a legally blind person, I am extremely pleased that fully self-driving cars will be available to me in my lifetime. Fuck public transit.
So it went like this?
Their fault for trusting relatively new technology.
Look at how many plane crashes there were during the infancy of air-travel.
>>79407582

im sure the truck driver won't be faulted at all due to the autopilot. He probably would have been in jail by now
>>79407777
Would it make you feel better if my goal is to design and manufacture firearms en-masse?
>>79406925
only the moron in the car that was watching Harry Potter died so it doesn't really count.
>~200 million miles driven in autopiloted vehicles
>1 fatality
Probably a better safety record than manned vehicles. If the tractor trailer was autopiloted, this could've been avoided.
In the future there will probably be a highly efficient roadway system for AI-driven vehicles, without stoplights, etc., and alternate roadways for those vehicles that can still be manually driven.
The implications of losing some degree of freedom of mobility is troubling, but in general I like the idea of these vehicles.
>>79407931
>made up statistics
your miles driven keeps getting bigger every thread
>>79406925
I live in fucking nowhere Oregon. Nobody here owns a tesla, I've never even seen one on the road, yet we just had 4 tesla stations installed in a strip mall(what passes for one here) Public parking lot. Seems odd.
>>79407849
Great. Blind people need self aiming smartguns to even the score.
>>79408050
You've caught me, I'm a shill for the global elite, I purposely troll the internet to provide false statistics to trick you sheep into accepting this technology.
It's soul-crushing work, but the money's good.
>>79408076
They are building the infrastructure because of future demand. Tesla is going to make a KILLING from other manufacturers licensing out use of their charging stations. Elon Musk is a smart guy.
>>79408224
I can still aim, man. 80% of legally blind people have some vision. I can out-shoot more than a few. :)
>>79408370
wasn't there a western with a gunfighter who aimed based on sound alone?
>>79408076
In order for people to buy electric cars, they need to believe the charging infrastructure is everywhere. Nobody will ever use those chargers in rural oregon, but they contribute to the network of chargers that make electric cars viable.

>>79408050
>miles driven keeps going up?
Miles driven are going up, because the cars keep driving, which adds to the statistic.
Obviously this Stat will go up as time goes on.
>>79406925
So let me get this straight. In the 200 MILLION (200 MILLION. Do you have any idea how much that is?) miles Tesla cars have rode on autopilot there is now ONE fatality. Yeah, woah, those Teslas sure are scary deathtraps, huh?
>>79409884
I'm second guessing my career choice. The market seems saturated. Not good for job security.
>>79409885

>>79409885
Well if they can't deal with the fact that people have to cross highways all the time, one such blunder in a very small number of teslas ought to be cause for fundamental concern.
One wonders if the designers even themselves drive.
>>79409853
t. Skynet
>>79410080
He's right though. Living in a rural area there are like 2-3 fatalities in a 100 mile radius due to tractors or some other BS earth moving trucks or what have you on a monthly basis.

I have never, not even once in my life seen a car cross a highway. Are you saying this happens regularly over there? Just another one of your retarded Americanisms.
archive your FUCKING LINKS
>>79410389
Different areas have different road designs, but it happens literally all the time even if you're not in the middle of nowhere. Even if you discount sidestreets that aren't important enough for fucking lights or complicated and expensive road projects, there are even people with houses right on the highway.
Not that I'd want to live on a highway, but sometimes you didn't think your neighborhood road would become a highway some day.
Scary.
This is why I'll never buy one.
The driver was so trusting of the car that it killed him.
>>79407831
In America you don't go to jail when you're in a car accident and someone dies unless you're under the influence of drugs/alcohol or somehow found criminally negligent. I'm surprised people don't realize that you can literally commit murder with an automobile and say that you didn't see them.
>>79406925
A fatality isnt really a big deal. As long as self driving cars have less accidents, they will be safer in general.
Call me when they start crashing more than regular human drivers.
>>79409885
The 200 million miles does not only include tesla cars. It includes all driverless cars, and the Stat is actually more than 200 million. (And still going up, because there are cars on the road right now driving themselves.)
Elon Musk is a grandiose fucktard who is about to cost each country billions, and delay rollout of driverless cars by years. Google's driverless car is being extensively and painstakingly tested before being put on the market. Elon has jumped the gun with a half-baked product that is not fully driverless but only partially. People will not fully understand the distinction and deaths like this will make legislators, the media and therefore the public nervous to adopt the technology, thereby delaying rollout and pushing back the rate at which we reduce deaths, other injury sustaining accidents and the GDP increase attached to the economic efficiencies of the technology.
Elon will cost us billions of dollars, thousands of lives and yet because you never get to see the alternative reality in which Elon's mother wisely aborts him before he unleashed his autistic overreach on the world, it will go unrecognised and unpunished.

True. What's really important to note is that if the trailer driver was also on auto pilot, this wreck probably wouldn't have happened.
>>79407831
no, the truck driver is the one who ran into the Tesla. The truck driver wasn't using autopilot. 100% the truck drivers fault.
>>79411574
Even self-driving trains screw up sometimes, which is pretty loltacular.
I once found pieces of a conductor's manual by one of the local train tracks, and it was literally autism inducing. No wonder they call train retards "foamers."

There's literally no other way to get from one side to the other but to cross it.

Let's conservatively say driverless cars ultimately reduce fatalities by 30% per year.
That's 30% of 30,000 road deaths in the US alone.
If Elon Musk has just delayed the rollout of driverless vehicles by one fucking year, he would have just inadvertently killed 9000 people.
This is why regulation and legislation are such long processes. One slip of the finger, one wrong key stroke at the highest level leads to literally thousands of deaths, and thousands of families having their lives completely ruined.
Thanks Elon.

>LIDAR is expensive your life is not if you properly write EULA.

>>79412911
I guess that would disqualify you from designing car intelligence, then. It happens all day every day on highways that are not so clogged with traffic that you can't safely have people crossing them.

Doesn't matter how smart a car is when drivers in manually controlled vehicles are unpredictable. Should've been paying attention to the road and not their phone. Plus it's the price you pay for testing controversial new technology, people usually die.

It's a state highway-- lots of on-and-off traffic on them since houses and businesses are located right on them. Lower speed limits generally. Probably 55.
Very different than interstates.

And you don't understand just how dangerous an intersection that is CROSSING THE FUCKING FREEWAY is. Autopilot or not, this will go and has gone wrong extremely often.
>>79409885
If a Tesla cannot even see a fucking 18 wheeler (!!!) crossing a highway, what CAN you rely it to see? 200 million miles or not, this seems like a pretty significant error...
>>79413959
It's the rules of the road, chap. Program that into your computer.
BTW, ever been on the road in a proper 3rd world country where it makes a game of frogger look like a walk in the park? Somehow humans are able to navigate that all day every day. Maybe let's have a self-driving car be able to do that first before easy peasy shit like standard highways in the middle of nowhere with a lone truck.

Great. Now drive one into Amsterdam where 75% of traffic at any given time are people on bicycles that do NOT communicate with self driving cars or infrastructure.. As a matter of fact, in terms of communication you should be VERY lucky if cyclists you encounter in the city even have the manditory lights, stick out their hand when turning and are NOT stuck to the screens of their phone.. If a Tesla cannot (apparantly) even handle dodging 18 wheelers crossing highways (why does this even happen btw, America?), why would you ever trust it in a more suburban or urban area?
Someone post the article where they talk about how the cars can see red lights but not stop at them yet.
>>79406925
>autopilot didn't notice the white side of the tractor trailer against a brightly lit sky
What the fucking hell?! The proximity sensors are radar or laser or whatever. Not colour pattern matching. You literally can't blind such a sensor with a brightly lit sky.

Jesus Christ. I didn't even know those highway intersections still exist? I don't even remember ever seeing one in my life, there's always guardrails with a ditch in the middle to prevent people from crossing it, also to prevent cars from being pushed to the other side when an accident happens.
That's the epitome of stupidity having an intersection right in the middle of a freaking highway, and also without any guardrails, to make it worse.

>>79414664
It's not like the truck drifts around it at 60. The put all that space there so you can slow down, turn, and sit there and wait until there's a clearing in the other side before crossing.
And guess what. When you see somebody waiting there, you might think to yourself "well there's a pretty big open space between me and him so why don't I keep an eye on that in case he thinks he wants to go?"
Kind of like what you'd do with a person crossing the street at an unmarked crossing.

>You guys might not understand just how yuge this country is and the expectation of individual responsibility and recognition of reality we have.
You might not understand how Europeans expect safe highways where you can do 80MPH without being hassled by fucking trucks literally CROSSING the road...

But the dead guy wasn't even driving himself.. Robot should have saved him.
>>79413599
>Lower speed limits generally. Probably 55.
That sort of explains it.. 55mph is about 90km/h, which is 10km above the speed limit for 'provinciale wegen' we have in this country. It's not uncommon to see crossings like that on those roads, but usually there are at least markings on the road to warn for possible crossing traffic.
>Very different than interstates.
Yeah, I think our 'snelweg' (speedway) correlates to your interstates, and the standard speed limit is 80MPH on those... You don't want to see trucks crossing when you're doing 130km/h, typically.
>>79414136
I don't need the government to hold my hand, I just need them to design roads in a way that enables me to drive fast on them without having to take fucking crossing trucks into account.. But the other anon explained that it's likely a rural road with limited speed (55), which would not be considered a highway here..
>>79414700
>mfw I just bought an Nvidea
They better keep supporting the GTX-series.
>>79414799
Still though.. Crossing highways? But, like I said above... If the speed limit is 55mph it's acceptable I guess.
>>79414799
It's not about that. You're inside of a hunk of heavy metal travelling at tremendous speed. On top of that there is that factor of human error. If your roads aren't safe, the people who drive on it won't be either. This isn't the fault of either of the two drivers, but of the person that gave the okay to create this dangerous intersection.

I do 80MPH down such highways on the regular. Actually just under 80MPH because going over is the trigger point for the cops and I enjoy pulling the levers and pressing the pedals and turning the wheels and knobs on my car to pass the time.
Never even came close to ramming into a truck. I'll take driving with a fleet of trucks before bimbo mom on her phone in a semi-automated SUV all night every night.

>>79415237
If you'd read the rest of the post you'd know another anon already mentioned that. I was under the impression your 'highways' are roughly the same as our 'snelwegen', but apparantly state highways (?) are more like the provincial roads we have in rural areas, where you indeed have to expect crossing traffic and stuff like agricultural vehicles.

idiot truck driver killed someone
I mean honestly, is anyone REALLY surprised by this? Did people think self driving cars were going to be immaculate right out the door? Not to mention all the variables of other drivers coming into play.

"Tesla says Autopilot has been used for more than 130 million miles, noting that, on average, a fatality occurs every 94 million miles in the US and every 60 million miles worldwide. "
teslas are already safer than any cars ever built

Right of way doesn't matter when you're about to kill somebody. That goes for cyclists as well.
Cyclists get along pretty alright here because the cars and the cyclists both are kindly toward each other and then break rules for mutual benefit when the opportunity arises.
It's like when you're on the highway and it's a passing zone and you can quite legally drive straight in to oncoming traffic. How do you know when to pass? Do you go through with it or do you nope out? How will the car or cars you're about to pass react, and what will the oncoming traffic, if any, do when they see you playing chicken with them?

why the fuck didn't the truck use the turn lane. He turned from the traffic lane according to the sketch

that stat is as useful as the volkswagen fume testing results

its not self driving, its driving assistance.
Another term the media butchered, just like the media immediately says "robots are taking over the world" when AI is meant
>>79417844
That's a meaningless statistic because it doesn't take location into account.

Regardless of my mode of transportation i hate bicycles.

Hes right you know.
I fucking hate truck drivers so much. Today I hard one take a right on red onto the expressway right as our light was turning green. It fucking took up 3 lanes while it turned right. The cunt wasn't even from our state and had these faggot spikes on his truck rims. I proceeded to break check the fuck out of him for the next mile while the other people who got fucked over at the light boxed him in on the sides.
Fuck Texas truck drivers. Get OUT of North dakota. Stay out of our cities!

Tesla is revolutionary, and a vision come true.
>>79418079
We gave them some bike parks and bike trails and bike lanes and that seems to have satisfied them, and to have kept their numbers down on the road to where it's no worse than shit drivers or waiting at a red light.

of course, the fume test results were also correct, the car actually did not put out NOx on the test bed.

Does anyone know what sensors are currently required/available for the Model S autonomous mode?
I think it launched without LIDAR of any kind and that's fucking insane to me.
I know the people working on this are surely world class vision engineers but there are times when it's simply going to fail like this.
>>79418295
There is when there is 3 lanes of traffic coming and you are a big fucking truck that needs all 3 lanes to turn .

You need to compare like with like. They test the cars in specific areas, not all over the place. They also tend to avoid certain conditions (snow storms etc.) The fatality comparison is even more meaningless because it doesn't take car safety measures into account.

Don't drive bike. Nobody will miss these faggots anyway.
>>79413295
That's a 2-lane highway, not an interstate. An interstate usually has at least 3 lanes (there are cases where it can be 2 for a couple miles). Exits on interstates usually lead up to a bridge going over it, or under a bridge that is part of the interstate.

Hate that death toll path
Reminder that self driving cars aren't out, cars have self driving FEATURES that say you should always have hands on the wheel and watch the road.
This retard was watching a movie.
First self driving car fatality is literally when a semi truck did not yield the right of way.

I once drove a thing with a backup camera TV.
I was like, holy fuck I have no idea what is going on. We regularly had each other and our kids get out to flag us how to reverse this thing without hurting it or anybody else, and also get it level, and all these other variables that you can't just put into an equation.
gl with sleeping with your hands on the wheel and being bored as a solution.

Tesla autopilot fails have been in the news for one year or more now.
Adaptive cruise controls fail all the time because of weather, glare, blocked sensors...

I get more excited by the opportunity to break 90. Might as well be driving around a pack of horse-drawn wagons most of the time.

Bike is pretty much the best way of getting around old Dutch cities though... Our cities were not designed with cars in mind, and unless you like stop lights, waiting for traffic and not being able to park anywhere (legally anyway) a bicycle is a much nicer way of getting around Amsterdam.
if you've never gone over 130mph you're basically not a man
