One of the biggest obstacles, figuratively, facing cars driving itself is the ability to expect unexpectedly, quickly identify potential issues, and respond to a great way to come up with a safe outcome. One of the biggest obstacles, literally, facing cars driving itself is a giant Wile E. The coyote-style walls painted to look forward to an attempt to deceive them in the crash.
Okay so the latter is a bit unlikely to appear in the real world, but it doesn't stop the former engineer NASA and the current YouTuber Mark Rober from seeing how well the vehicles are driving on the Looney Tunes test. In his latest video titled, ”Can you fool a car on driving?“Rober is pouring two different autonomous autonomous systems-the Tesla-Autopilot computer vision and an unnamed system that uses light detection and ranging sensor-up against each other in a series of trials that end in an attempt to stop a car on its tracks using the same method that Wile E. Coyote tried to use to stop the runner of the road.

At the risk of breaking the video for you, Tesla leaves a cartoonishly big hole in the wall after plowing autopilot by object of about 40 miles per hour.
This is the third failure in the six trials Rber running, including a series of experiments set to determine if a self-driving car will reduce a child if the conditions are sufficiently bad. While Tesla's autopilot technology manages to stop for a stationary dummy, a dummy running in front of it in the last second, and a dummy obscure by bright bright lights, the relatively autonomous system sends a fake kid over the bumper when it is hidden with fog and strong rains. And for this unlikely you will find a photorealistic hobby of the road in front of you that has been plastered with a wall, dew and rain seems to be quite common barriers.
Conversely, the lidar system succeeds each time. It should not come to a great surprise because the video is lowkey an ad for lidar. It starts with Rober using a portable lidar sensor to map the Riding in Space Mountain In the Disney World and featuring a plug for a cover manufacturer, so you know where the whole thing is from the beginning.
But it is noteworthy how effective the lidar system was shown in the video, as Tesla was very public who decided to leave these sensors in favor of fully relying on computer vision. Reasoning for these makes a difference depending on who you are asking and when, but it is usually boils down In lidar sensors worth excess, which requires more data processing to be used, and eventually acts as a crutch that slows down the development of computer vision. Tesla CEO Elon Musk is gone until Call Lidar A “Fool's work. “
That may be true, but it is also not a barrel through the walls, so the pros and cons. It's hard to imagine your car falling into a child who could avoid it with other technologies on board and say, “Well, at least it doesn't slow down the development of technology that eventually cannot result in the exact thing that just happened.”
Still, the video is enjoyable watching, like most of Rober's efforts. And, judged by Response to Rober's tweet Showing the footage footage on the wall, it became Tesla's true believer on Twitter in conspiracy believing that Rober was purchased by Big Lidar and trying to defraud Tesla. So that's fun.
