Рік томуFully fledged self-driving technology appears to be perpetually just around the corner. It is a promise that the Tesla chief executive, Elon Musk, has made almost every year since 2013.

But in the real world, it is still an open question whether level five self-driving automation is actually possible. Josh Toussaint-Strauss finds out how close industry frontrunners have come to full autopilot mode and assess the scale of the problems standing in their way.

i think level 3 guarantees safety and road rules compliance, but requires driver to be ready to take control in reasonable time for him to get situation awareness (5 sec?) in case car got itself into situation where it can't do it job (i.e. road construction, weaver change, difficult road situation (in this case car slowdowns or stops completely until driver ready to take control, obviously to not create traffic jams driver needs to be ready to take control in reasonable time) , in level 2 driver is responsible for safety and he must maintain situation awareness all the time(no sms/book reading, or tv watching), level 4 means car is ready to be on the streets without human driver at all. (but human driver can be remote, but if there is no connection and road situation is too difficult car should be able to park itself without breaking road rules).
@hankmoody7521 Рік тому
With level 2 no car company is liable. With level 3, e.g. Mercedes is liable for the actions taken by the system.

With level 2 you as a driver always have to supervise the car's surroundings and the system's actions at all time.

A few weeks ago I was in a two lane and came up on a dodge pickup in the leftmost lane following another small car too closely. I was in the right lane. I could see that the small car’s driver seemed distracted looking for where to turn. I slowed down because I figured the pickup might swerve suddenly into my lane if the car stopped quickly when it found the correct street to turn on. This is exactly what happened and I would have been in a collision had I not recognized the situation. I think this sort of thing happens much more than carmakers realize.
@Duconi 3 місяці тому
An autonomous car would just keep the distance. So it would also have slowed down, because it was too fast and too close. So when the other car breaks and turns, the autonomous car just also breaks and then accelerates again. Doesn't seem to be a problematic situation.

@@Duconi I didn’t clarify… I was in the right lane, they were in the left. That’s why I was able to see the person in the car. So I wasn’t in any danger technically (there were no cars ahead of me in my lane). However I knew what would happen if the small car were to stop suddenly. I slowed to distance myself from the situation. What I’m saying is I think it’s difficult to imagine an autonomous system recognizing subtleties like this. I always try to take a quick glance at the drivers around me to see if they might be looking at a phone, or distracted in any number of ways.
@Duconi 3 місяці тому
@@Mothball_man Well, if they would use autonomous cars, the car is not distracted by a phone. It can see all around all the time and doesn't get tired. So autonomous cars improve such situations. Human reaction is sometimes unpredictable, true. But they implement the systems to drive in a very safe way. And if that driver is on another lane, it would be their fault driving into you anyway. They also don't want that and pay attention. You can not always predict that. So even with the best psychological skills, cars can crash into you. The advantage of autonomous vehicles is, that they can see all around the car and calculate the trajectory of other cars. So they react before you even know what they react to. But why not combining both? There are some assistant systems, where you can intervene and have to pay attention. So you can get the best of both worlds. By the way, the best way to reduce car accidents is to build cities in a way, that you don't need cars. With just a fraction of the cars on the road and safe ways away from cars for people, there are much less accidents. We have the knowledge for that for decades. I can recommend the YT channel Not just bikes for that.

Yes it would be his/her fault. Yes it would be better if there were no drivers at all and there was a better system of mass transport. Yes. But I am speaking of the here and now… as things stand. As it is now, autonomous vehicles cannot identify subtle indications of driver distraction. They are not capable of imagining possible scenarios, vectoring those possibilities, and creating a safer margin based on something that might happen based on said subtleties. As Elon said in an interview recently… “turns out making cars drive themselves is REALLY hard.” It’s hard because the human factor, both in sensing possible mishap and causing mishap, is infinitely difficult to grasp without using the miracle of human gray matter.

Every single automaker and autonomous company has misjudged how long it would take to have autonomous cars. Projections change every year, just like Tesla. However, these misprojections are not newsworthy unless they are Tesla. Machine learning progress is hard to predict. Look at protein folding, Go, and other projects. People either overestimated or underestimated, and then suddenly they were here.

@@MrJimheeren What you don’t see is Autopilot for aircrafts is treated as a huge driving aid. Pilot’s have heavy workload and we have to multitask, keep in constant touch with ATC, and require to adjust through every info given such as change in weather, altitude, air traffic, etc. Those constant changes are then applied to the AP system and if the situation requires us to take full control, we take full control. Applying that to a grounded vehicle is not the same as supposed to flying. Your room is limited and you have no idea what is going through the minds of other drivers. The closest I’ll probably get to self driving is staying on cruise control on the freeway.

The issue is we are trying to replace drivers with computers instead of attempting to enhance safety and awareness with automation. When you advertise self driving to the general public, without the requisite training or information, you are advertising the same general population who for the most part do not even bother to read their owner's manual of their vehicle, let alone even bother to be safe on the road. We need to focus on improving safety culture and education in driving then supplement it with automation.

I mean Teslas recent betas haven’t stalled at all. They’ve shown great promise with their latest stack implementation. The problem with other manufacturers is that they’re are relying heavily on sensors and reach the limits that can be reached. Sensors and radars will always result in too much noise that will end up making the system overreact with false positives. It also prevents the training model from being truly developed and masks a lot of its problems. Teslas approach makes the most sense and I’m glad BYD are seeing this as well. If anything,teslas beta 10.69.1 is a giant leap.

In regard to traffic lights, they need to not rely on visual information that the AI might get misleaded by so instead of visual input of the traffic light it would get a fully accurate and reliable simple info data (sent to the car) of true/false of go/stop from the traffic light...that way such issue of car driving at red light would cease to exist, also to solve the issue of things the car might not be able to see they need to use special cameras every few meters that would be placed on the roads so then the car would be able to get info of unseen objects by proximity to these cameras, so then like 2-3 cameras that are close to the car would be sending info needed for the car to avoid crash with unseen objects that are obscured by another object (could be even another car).

Places like India that have unpredictable or unmarked road systems is actually where this technology will work the best and save the most lives because eventually the technology reaches a point it is better at threat detection and object avoidance than any person possibly can since no human can be continually looking 8 directions at once. People will continue to trash on how the systems arn't safe enough. But then one day in the near future they will be. But they won't stop there. They will just continue to get safer and safer. That progress never truly ends and at some point these systems will become super human in capability, nearly never crash, and human drivers at that point may even be deemed a massive safety risk in comparison and outlawed.
