Tesla’s self -driving failure to test Wile E. Coyote

One of the biggest obstacles, the metaphor, which faces self -driving cars is the ability to anticipate what is unexpected, quickly identify possible problems, and respond well in a good way to produce a safe result. One of the biggest obstacles, literally, facing self -driving cars are a giant Coyote walls painted to look like the way forward in an attempt to deceive them in their crash.

Well, the latter is unlikely to be created in the real world, but this did not prevent the current NASA engineer and the current YouTube Mark Rober from seeing self -driving cars in the face of Looney Tunes test. In the most recent video Entittenant, “Can you deceive a self -driving car?ROBER raises two different systems of autopilot Tesla for the computer only and an unveiled system that uses light detection and compact sensors-on equal footing in a series of tests that culminate in its peak time in an attempt to stop the car in its paths using the same technology that Wile E. Coyote tried to use to stop the road.

At risk of spoiling the video for you, Tesla leaves a great hole in the wall after Autopilot plows through about 40 miles per hour.

This is the third failure in six tests run by ROBER, including a series of experiences that have been determined to determine whether the self -driving car will make the child if the conditions are adequate enough. While Tesla technology managed to stop for a fixed doll, a doll running out in front of it in the last second, and a mysterious doll from the bright bright lights, the independent device is somewhat sent the fake child over the bumper when it was hidden due to fog and heavy rain. Because it is unlikely to coincide with a realistic entertainment of the road in front of you on the wall, fog and rain seems to be very common obstacles.

On the contrary, the Lidar system succeeded every time. This should not come as a big surprise because the video is low is a laid advertisement. It starts with Rober with a Lidar mobile sensor to draw a map Space mountain riding In Disney World and features a connection to the manufacturer Lidar, so I knew somewhat where this was the whole of the beginning.

But it is worth noting the effectiveness of the Lidar system in the video, because Tesla has publicly decided to give up these sensors in favor of relying on the computer’s vision. The reason for this is different depending on who you ask and when, but it is usually that Segments To Lidar sensors that cost a lot, which requires more data processing for use, and ultimately as a crutch that slows the development of computer vision. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, went to the extent of naming Lidar A “Liar task“

Perhaps this is true, but it also does not stand out through the walls, so you should weigh the pros and cons. It is difficult to imagine leaving your car closed to a child you may avoid with other technology on board and saying: “Well, at least this did not slow down the development of technology that may not eventually lead to this exact thing that has just happened.”

However, the video is very fun for watching, as well as most Rober’s efforts. And the referee before Responses to Robert’s tweet The wall shattering shots appear, Tesla True has turned on Twitter to conspiracies who believe that Rober is purchased by Big Lidar and tries to defame Tesla. So this is fun.
