it's an angle I hadn't heard or thought of but if it's true is there some low level of trains where it's not worth running them? (also surely someone else would have unearthed the minutes from these local meetings with the number of twitter gumshoes)

not really. here on the east coast there's a lot of businesses who only get their siding handled once a week or less. its still very useful to them for handling some of their bulk shipments at those rates. and there's tons of sidings into various facilities where there'sjust not any regular train service, but they're still not torn up or disconnected from the running tracks. because cutting that poo poo out completely costs money you just don't need to pay, yknow?


theres basically no reason to have completely cut service and tracks to the factory.

a video of a tesla driving on an exceedingly well marked country road with basically no other traffic manages to almost lose traction several times and culminates in a beeping warning as it literally goes into the gravel on the side of the road for a second

how is this allowed to exist, seriously

"with these sort of roads it tends to do quite well"

How the hell does it look like when it does bad? Instant death? That drive was horrible, frightening and how the dude stays calm is beyond me. 10:30min and forward the car loses it like 3 times in a row and is barely saved by the extended tarmac patch on the outside of the corner.

The lane selection is complete garbage. The car is seemingly randomly hugging the inside, outside or middle of the track. This is very mild high-speed driving. It should hug the inside or use an ideal lane profile (outside - apex inside - outside) and the regulation seems to at the same time be overdamped and very happy to oscillate which is an incredibly hard to achieve state of hosed up.

How people defend this in its current state... Or worse, Use it... Is beyond me.

imagine for a moment that you trusted, absolutely trusted, the technology in use and the quality of its implementation. he's calm because he believes the computer is incapable of being unsafe. if it's driving in a way that appears to be incredibly dangerous, it's just because it's operating beyond human efficiency.

Um excuse me

This is an awful video from which to judge autopilot’s current status and general ability at its primary current application (divided highways). It’s exactly the kind of driving that Tesla says autopilot is not recommended for right now, and exactly the kind of driving we already know it currently performs the worst at. We also have great reason to speculate that there are currently torque and turn rate limits placed on the autopilot system designed to prevent it from doing anything rash in recommended conditions like divided highways, but could easily be and probably are reducing its performance in this situation. OpenPilot’s experience with manufacturer hard coded torque limits for fly by wire vehicle controls here are very informative about this - see Comma AI and their autonomous driving project.
Not trying to be a Tesla fanboy here, but this just isn’t representative of what these systems are currently oriented towards: divided highway travel, which is just plain simpler than this.

You have to understand that the Tesla's traction control is simply the smartest in the world - it will not spin out if it were to touch gravel. It can pull a semi truck in the snow. It does not lose traction because power is applied or taken away at literal millisecond intervals. This is a rather safe exercise since autopilot forces you to hold onto the wheel at all times or it will slow down and shut off.

At 10:59 it literally knew it was going outside the lane and did it anyway. Once the full autonomy update comes out later this year as Elon tweeted, I would love to see the road revisited.

this is from pages back but what's extra funny is that a lot of the guys that won big weren't the super-rockstar programmers or engineers, they were the biz guys. bill gates got way more mileage out of being a cutthroat than his ability to write or read code.

interesting to compare steve jobs and steve wozniak for this, since the former became impossibly rich and eventually died from his own douchiness, while the latter said "gently caress tech" and became a preschool teacher

also one of my former bosses at an msp was the "sales" guy but also bailed on tech and now runs a dogsitting service and has never been happier

This is my take on self driving vehicles. The state of the art is loving amazing (not suggesting that tesla is anywhere near the state of the art) and all the time new poo poo is coming out that blows my mind.

But its insane that we let it on public roads... and this is easy mode. Rain, snow, fog, edge cases (animals running into the road? we already know what happens when people do...). Not to mention what happens when these systems age or get damaged.

Even if it could navigate this road perfectly nerds would never acknowledge that this is literally the best conditions it could have done it in: clear day, dry road, no traffic. The fact its allowed is either because the hype surrounding it has blinded policy makers to how dangerous it is, or because they value corporate investment over public safety.

Yeah, and I don't know if they ever reach any kind of dangerous speeds... like 40 - 50 mph on a highway...

Thats probably the most realistic scenario where we'll see any kind of actually autonomous self driving cars... Nerds get hard over the idea of a tricked out electric muscle car (that only they have, naturally) that can coolly navigate around traffic at super human speeds.

More likely we'll all be stuck in padded Google Bumpercars, driving like grandmas around congested city streets, occasionally bumping into things. You'll still be stuck in gridlock traffic but at least you can hook your chromebook up to the in-car wifi (9.95 a month but its cool, you can expense it since you'll be expected to start the work day in the car.)

luv 2 go cross my completely ordinary local 12 lane 4-way intersection

the roads around where i live in north norway are mostly unmarked with no barriers, just wide enough for two vehicles to pass (or have passing places where that isn't possible). they're covered in ice 5-6 months a year, snow drifts and 60mph winds are common and moose and reindeer on the road are an everyday thing. the surfaces are bumpy and torn to poo poo cos everyone uses spiked tyres and/or snow chains. there are are tunnels everywhere and it's dark the majority of the winter. at the same time, Norway has the highest per capita uptake of electric vehicles of any country and there's a big tesla dealership in the nearest city, i see teslas on the roads every day

i dunno how many people actually use autopilot here, but i bet the winter is going to be a fun one for them
