So they have one of the world’s most powerful super computers and they still can’t figure out how to make the car handle an incoming merge lane or how to properly drive down a two lane road without a lane lines…. I grew so frustrated with Tesla constantly trying to solve hard problems without mastering the easy stuff I sold the car.
This might even be a symptom of their approach. They want to train a model that is able to generalize and behave like a human. In doing so they reject simpler approaches that can handle simpler scenarios much more reliably.
I once drove a Tesla on a road that was asphalt covered over what appeared to earlier be a concrete road. The concrete was visible through cracks in the top asphalt surface in straight lines. To a camera, they sort of looked like lane lines, but they were right down the middle of the lanes!
I was manually driving, but the car was constantly freaking out because it thought I was running off the road. :lol Yes, it can be a hard problem.
OTOH, my car is running regular AP and will not engage when no lane lines are available. Nevertheless, I've managed to trick it into engaging in a few cases by engaging while the lines are there and keeping it on when they disappear. It does this close to flawlessly in my neighborhood, which is actually pretty surprising.
That's a really weird take, tbh. That particular case was one that _should_ have been easy, but wasn't. But I've also been on roads where the humans were confused because construction had messed up the lines so much.
TBH, getting a computer to navigate a parking lot is one of the hardest self-driving problems. That doesn't make them all doomed.
Yes, you have to still pay attention to the road and drive the car, since the car is still unable to drive itself reliably without a human, which that was supposedly the Level 5 Full Self Driving (FSD) promise of 2020 with the 1 Million robo-taxis still missing.
The product has been 'Fools Self Driving' demoware for years.
My comment already agreed with it, and it plays right in to the entire point of you having to still pay attention and drive the car yourself. Hence why I said it is 'Fools Self Driving'
No offense intended. I thought you were saying FSD meant that the car was supposed to drive itself, it just doesn't work very well (yet?). Where the joke was saying that FSD always meant that the human is the "self" and therefore FSD already works as intended.
Yes [0] was me as well. Apparently the poster was not being sarcastic.
