So you've done stuff with images, are you able to see that it's bad to base a car autopilot entirely on image recognition? Because telsa only uses cameras and routinely thinks that an overpass 200 feet away is a truck and it needs to stop, and it also will think that the ground under a semi trailer is a driveable surface. Or the times it gets dazzled by the sun and slams into a truck. Or doesn't realize that cones are physical objects that shouldn't be hit. These problems are solveable with other tech like radar and lidar, but Elon is disrupting tech and he only wants to use cameras.

Yeah, the problem is that all the failures that actually come to light are super-basic poo poo that they should have solved before ever putting a car out onto the road. If they can't get stuff like "disengage if the driver isn't paying attention" or "see a bright red fire-truck straight in front of the car", then what confidence are we supposed to have that they'll actually be able to handle rare cases that their data set may not have come across yet? Like, I dunno, figuring out that every other car on the road has stopped and that maybe you should at least slow down even if you can't see or hear the ambulance siren?

Couple that with the fact that I don't for a minute believe their self-reported safety statistics, and I do not in the slightest agree that Tesla has demonstrated that they're safer than human drivers in general. (Plus, IIRC, even if you take it at face value they're worst-in-class for their price point: high-cost vehicles tend to have fewer crashes)

The idea of designing an auto-pilot for which the driver's task is to monitor it continuously at all times is in itself flawed design because the intent is that you remain as attentive as if you had no auto-pilot, but lose all forms of engagements in keeping the system in check and eventually run out of practice to actually supplement the auto-pilot when it encounters conditions too difficult to handle.

The design is bad in very predictable and fundamental ways.

I've mentioned it before, but went through a weird time when I was about 30 where I did this twice in the span of 6 months (lotta stress, lotta drugs). Never before, never after...the first time it happened I went into the store, explained what happened, they didn't know what to do and just said take off no worries. Then it happened again and I just pulled the nozzle out and left, didn't even tell em. In both cases I didn't make it out of the gas station before noticing, because there was a odd resistance to me rolling away from the pump and then a loud rear end bang as the tube whipped the roof of my car.

It seems like they should tie those down somehow. Even if they're heavy there can still be weird shear poo poo going on, especially if the containers are bottom-heavy.

They are tied down. Sort of. Each of the container's corners has holes for twist locks and turn buckles. Basically interlocking them. You can see some of the knocked over stacks still connected.

Right, but I was thinking like straps over the whole pile anchoring it to something load-bearing.

I really don’t get the Tesla fear mongering either. I don’t have opinions on “autonomous cars” as a whole because Tesla is the only one with a large amount of miles driven semiautonomously. If the measurement of that safety is miles between incidents autopilot seems to be much safer than the us average, at least according to the numbers reported by Tesla. 4.5M miles between crashes with autopilot engaged compared to a US average of 0.5M.

There’s certainly flaws with this logic, maybe most important is that autopilot can only be engaged in lower risk scenarios, but that seems to be changing very soon. Additionally, the types of people who buy Tesla’s may be safer drivers than those who drive Maximas and Malibus, which have the highest MY2017 death rates. So at a minimum the fear mongering seems unsupported, but the consequences of acting on that fear mongering may mean 5-10x more accidents.

There’s a ton of fear mongering around “plowing into pedestrians/children” every thread it’s mentioned in but here’s the euroncap rating on their cheapest car: https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/tesla/model-3/37573

It scores comparably in pedestrian safety to bmw sedans and the test report indicates the cyclist avoidance got full points and the pedestrian avoidance performed well. There’s billions of miles driven...so I just don’t get the cultish hate in the same way I don’t get supporting Trump or not wearing a mask in public in the US.

You quite literally cannot trust any of Tesla’s safety statistics: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2019/02/in-2017-the-feds-said-tesla-autopilot-cut-crashes-40-that-was-bogus/

A Tesla truck probably wouldn't get eaten by the 11 ft 8" bridge. It still might, but you could probably blame human error for that (you have to somehow inform the AI how tall your cargo is, and how high the bridges along your route are).

it's almost like...there's not very many of them on the road...and also are the only ones having self driving accidents...and therefore get a lot of attention when it happens.
