Kinda cool :)

Watch a Tesla predict a car crash 2 vehicles ahead

my car does all the stuff and more :2 cents:

it did not predict the car crash, it noticed the traffic jam in front of the little red car and hit the brakes to prevent a crash.

Still quite impressive yes.

Pretty Awesome Technology

My main problem with AI driving cars is it's inability to have that "sixth sense" a human has about the drivers around him. This looks promising.

seen it already on fb

i notice the other cars on the right all braked and avoided any further accidents too.

Maybe being aware, no smoking, talking on the phone or to the passengers in the back & just giving full concentration is all that's needed, driving at the speed limits, then there would be less accidents :2 cents:

So the guy had a time to engage turn signal but he didn't move a steering wheel enough?

I'm in two minds about semi-automated vehicles. The person sitting in the driver's seat becomes complacent and less attentive because the autopilot can handle 99.9% of daily driving situations. What happens when one of the other 0.1% situations hits, and the autopilot disengages with a beep? As a failsafe the car can apply the brakes when it realises it doesn't know what to do, but what if you're travelling at 80mph, and need steering input to avoid an impact? The person sitting in the driver's seat may not have sufficient time to react. On the plus side, the autopilot may be able to sense that it's about to get into a hairy situation beyond its knowledge and control, and sound an advance warning.

There are roadworks on a freeway near me, and they've painted a temporary lane alignment using yellow paint, but they haven't removed the white lines from the old lanes. It's a bit of a mind fuck, because the white lines weave all over the place relative to the temporary lanes, and motorists are not used to yellow divider lines on roads here. I wonder how a self-driving car would go?

Here's what I'm talking about. If the autopilot simply "follows cars ahead" then you could be in for some strife.

(The closest two cars are sitting in the old lane alignment, straddling two of the new lanes.)

This. How many times have you avoided accidents because you just *knew* the dumb broad was gonna pull out the side road without looking, or just veer over while overtaking without indicating/checking because you could see her next move due to the speed she was going, and the car in front of her.

I guess if they automate women's cars it'd be ok, but while there are still some of them on the road, I'd far sooner be in complete control of my own (bad ass) vehicle. Fact.

I'm interested in seeing how things all plays out. Hopefully smoother than I think.

Amazing cars. Too bad it's just for millionaires.

To be fair, they should black out or peel up the old stripes. They would never leave it looking like that here in the states. It's just stupid waiting to happen and likely be way too confusing for people, specially at night or in bad weather.

Leaving up both (yellow and white stripes) is pretty common in EU as well.

When I'm driving, I try to look at the faces of the drivers. For example at a 2,3 or 4-way stop, I've found that I can usually guess what they are going to do by looking at their expressions. If they look anxious, mad, pissed etc, they usually won't do a full stop, or will usually gun it, or won't have enough patience for another driver to go, etc.

I have never been in a self driving car but plan to get a demo soon. I think it will be terrifying.


The Tesla Model 3, due out at the end of 2017, will have the same sensors, computers and software. Cost: $35k. https://www.tesla.com/en_CA/blog/all...iving-hardware

A robot doesn't talk to the wife or kid on the backseat, doesn't fiddle with the music, answer the phone, take a drink or look at blonds with big tits. Got to be safer than me then.

good luck to you
I believe, it will be a great experience indeed :thumbsup

I've spent a lot of time on the road and the vast majority of people have no fucking sense man. In fact, I seem to recall a recent study that said 9 out of 10 accidents in traffic happens because people do not pay attention when they are driving.

Well see - in the not so distant future - that a human operated vehicle is considered dangerous and not the other way around :)

After years of driving, you learn the language. All the drivers around you are talking to you if you pay attention:

The guy who is tailgating me is saying "I'm an asshole and a bully".

The guy who keeps going to the right lane to pass without looking at the clusterfuck 100 yards up the road is saying "I'm an idiot who doesn't learn from my mistakes".

You start to see all of this without even looking for it. These are the things an Ai might have trouble seeing.
