I was told this a month ago by someone that works in the AI space, and he heard it from a friend of his. Apparently the object-detection network in a major self-driving car has a known-false positive that reports a pedestrian backing out, and it was such an issue it was causing the car to stop when nothing was there. Often in an unsafe manner. They put another layer of heuristics after the object-detection network to filter out certain "false positive" misclassificatons. I would guess you're seeing the results of that. Somewhere, they had a "pedestrian on a bike" false positive that was causing them to stop uncontrollably, so they put some in some code to ignore it because it was wrong. Oops.

so why the gently caress is this a binary on/off instead of judging that it's a safe distance to break and do that just to be safe

like only override if you'd actually have to slam the brakes

it’s almost like going straight from the darpa challenge to a commercial product is dumb

like I encounter situations driving on the regular that I don’t see how an autonomous car could solve any better than using the same mental heuristic I do, where being wrong would increase the likelihood of an accident

absolutely. this poo poo is many many years away from being used on roads where real people exist

its just no matter where you set the sensitivity to things in the road dial you end up creating an unsafe driving situation. either your brake hard for every blowing snowdrift, heat shimmer image, or reflected streetlight, or you run over every pedestrian who doesnt exactly match the outline of the walk/dont walk signal

and the last company who should be on the roads with this poo poo is uber, whose corporate culture is all about cutting corners, evading regulation, and treating fines and judgments as the cost of doing business as fast as possible

This was a story told over cocktails at a party for game industry nerds. I'm sure it's more complicated than a binary on/off... right? Right guys? Guys, seriously? Wait, you're not joking about them training their object detection neural networks on Unreal Engine 4 renders? What the gently caress?

if you find yourself adding all these bespoke tweaks to your ML network to make the test cases give you the results you want, it's probably time to take a step back and reassess your approach

it's almost as if "deep learning" is a brittle, profoundly limited tool which is fundamentally incapable of solving most of the problems startups have been hurling it at.

almost.

imagine if when ELIZA was written the universal reaction was "well poo poo, strong AI is solved. let's replace all doctors with exactly this."

nonsense, of course all we have to do is chant "deep learning" 50,000,000 times and it'll solve itself.

it's pretty common to run your software in simulations before putting it out in real hardware. I can even see the utility of using a 3d engine for developing basic training sets. the issue would be developing a training set with enough diversity to capture all variations of what a vehicle might encounter on the road

ntsb needs to mandate closed circuit testing where the engineers use themselves as potential road hazards prior to any open-road testing
