    That looks like a badly secured construction zone to me. Stuff like this certainly happens to human drivers.

      Yeah unless the car went blasting through a barrier I’m not sure we can blame “AI” on this one.

        they’re demonstrably not

        Wait… how did you arrive at this conclusion? Humans do this kind of thing all the time, too. You’d have to know the relative rates of accidents and mishaps to say with any confidence that they’re “demonstrably” not better than humans.

          Why look at overall statistics when you can cherry pick single instances to prove your point. /s

          well, they should have posted a link to the Cruise Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_(autonomous_vehicle) because what I read from regulation and incidents proves his point. The city requesting no expansion to permits, 39 incidents between January and June 2023 blocking fire department operations alone. And that is just within their limited time permits.

        I knew this shit would happen… Elon pushes his shitty “self driving” cars that are years behind the others, and people are now conflating that garbage with high-end, well researched and tested self-driving vehicles.

        Most of these alternatives do amazingly well. No idea on this one, though, admittedly. I’ve never heard of it.

          They don’t do amazingly well. Cruise literally ran into the back of a bus. The car has five LiDAR sensors, twenty-one radars, and twelve cameras and can’t see a bus?

          They’re constantly stopping in the middle of the streets and struggling with scenarios regular drivers don’t have an issue with. First Responders hate them because they’re constantly in the way with no way to disable them.

          They have to route around left turns because they’re too hard (and have caused a couple collisions), so it takes an incredible amount of time to get anywhere compared to literally any other method of transport. Not to mention that they’re testing them in cities that actually have decent transit! Just get on a bus!!

          Anyone working on AVs in the US has a long way to go, I haven’t followed international companies as closely. Blame Elon all you want, not a single company has actually managed to make a safe and useful product.

          I know a lot of people (myself included!) want this technology to exist and be useful, but we may need to start thinking about what we do if it isn’t achievable. Allowing public development of these is a nuisance.
