Someone with a better singing voice than me needs to remix this classic.

AP aside, worst car manufacturer.

Also, the owner is a Nazi.

I see an opportunity to target Teslas exclusively

Dunno man, I don't want to risk the lives of those in normal cars. Just one bad day on an overworked guy at night and you'll have the same issue.

I was just watching a youtube video with humans literally walking into murals this same way.

People are arguing about autopilot being disabled during the drive, but even if it was, the emergency braking system should tried to do something.

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Why would it? It sees a road in front of itself, the whole car is built + programmed to go by what it sees, as an image.

The car is doing exactly what it is built to do. It just so happens that "safety of road traffic" is not among the things it is built for, and explicitly so.

I think it's a good example of how vastly over hyped a lot of AI stuff is though. Any person could tell that that was a wall from hundreds of feet away. You can even tell in the video and it would be more obvious in real life with actual depth perception.

The entire problem with AI are corner cases. This is just taking that corner case to an absurd level. But it's not much different than the real world case of a Tesla vehicle getting confused on a highway if a billboard ad has a stop sign on it.

Autopilot literally switched ITSELF off less than half a second from the moment of impact. it didn't try to stop the car, it just shut itself off so it couldn't be blamed.

Imagine if someone whipped throwing knives at your back and then tried to argue "but your honor I was not holding any knives at the time of the stabbing"

Fuck Tesla, fuck Elon, fuck every simp who shits excuses out their mouths for him

(I mean, not YOU, you aren't doing any of those things; I'm just saying, those people. In general.)

It's like a pilot bailing out of a plane and then claiming he was not responsible for the crash because he was in Vegas at the time the plane crashed.

Mark did an interview with Philip Defranco and posted raw footage showing/explaining that Autopilot turned itself off instead of hitting the brakes.

They also did two takes, it did the same thing both times. The first time, they just used a poster instead of a full foam wall. They decided to add the foam for a better visual once they realized it would just happily plow through it.

Finally there's some argument of Autopilot vs FSD; but both rely on the same cameras and should have at least tried to brake. The LIDAR car braked and it was just using emergency braking, no self driving at all.

I love that they had pre-cut the styrofoam wall in a cartoony hole shape because they knew it was going to happen.

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 65 points 1 week ago

From following video with raw footage they initially used a poster, but seeing that Tesla would just plow through it they built the styrofoam wall for a better effect.

This is from Mark Robers YouTube Channel.

Credit where credit is due.

Mark Robers is fucking awesome, btw. He does all sorts of fun STEM things and keeps it interesting for kids and adults.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Also they explicitly endorsed buying Tesla's still for they are good enough.

No, after the video in a separate statement.
