I see all the AI experts are out today, what'd I miss? 😂

I meant tiny in optics, but still a massive issue to solve. As evidenced above by your two clips, most people aren't thinking of them when driving.

Another day, another "what the ****" from Waymo is dug up. This time failing a left turn on a clear street (very similar behavior as the Phoenix incident the NHTSA is investigating) then ramming itself through pedestrians already in the crosswalk. and since the footage is terrible, here's...

Interesting crash report, and a great example of tiny things, from Zoox. [0]

Browsing the CA DMV reports, Waymo hit a raccoon on the freeway. Of course the driver disengaged "shortly" before impact, thus it's not the Waymo Driver at fault. Wonder how long "shortly" is, feels like something that should be stated in specific terms (5s, 30s) rather than vague terminology.

GPS signal can be diminished at times over the US for various reasons (including as mentioned above, tall buildings). Flightradar actually maintains a map of GPS signal degradation based on ADS-B data from flights. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/gps-jamming

Funnily enough, I've seen the same thing happen it rendered the other side of the road including lines... I was on a single lane exit overpass with 5 foot walls on both sides and no other lanes. My car also renders a main road while driving in my neighborhood when that main road is occluded...

Hence why I said (and you quoted) "typically." Not sure if you read everything I said, but your scenario 3 is quite literally what I said. Wonder how long before we see a new model or manufacturer, since those cars will be subject to a 102% tax shortly.

*sigh* It is 100% true, or Waymo is directly lying in their blog post. Can't have it both ways. Ask yourself (especially with context of everything we've seen from Waymo as of late) what's more likely, the car itself can run a red light in an obscure situation as a bug, or Waymo is risking...

That's the thing... there is no transition according to Waymo themselves (see below), so there's no scenario where this is remote support and not the "Waymo Driver" driving into a telephone pole. Another news story today about Waymo as well. 1 in 4 SF school crossing guards say they've had to...

I mean, a Waymo literally crashed into a telephone pole yesterday. Somehow that redundancy didn't save them there. I also love how people instantly jump to defend Waymo when I just point out something. I was literally just saying that there's a delay with their data feeds (I've seen the same...

That delay would cover both scene and video though. Plus they are demoing it in a frozen state, wouldn't that make the most sense to use the most-accurate timestamp of the data? To me this says their scene recognition isn't running as fast as we all thought it would be, after all their lidar is...

I'm honestly shocked that their lead image has errors in the rendered scene when compared to the image of it. Makes me wonder if it's their lidar data feed or if it's something else that's delayed. These are in no particular order: Jeep in front of the Waymo is at a different angle. Jeep in...

Yes but the human driver has self autonomy and can decide if they feel that their life is in danger and decide what to do (and can be tried and found not/ or guilty criminally). A rider in a RT has no self autonomy except for exiting the vehicle, which may be an even more dangerous situation to...

"Kid" jumps on the hood of a Waymo (from inside the waymo). Wonder if there will need to be regulation around this that limits liability for the AVs in this situation if this keeps up.

Anyone been by to see if there's any construction work going on? Curious if this site is going to be abandoned or not with the SC team gone.

I mean, I get the point of their article. It's to reassure their investors that "they are on the right track to solve this and Tesla won't ever." Because that's (1) their value prop as a supplier for systems rather than a direct manufacturer, (2) it's an easy way to score free advertising. It's...

Personally I think this is essentially a case of starting with your conclusion and working back from it. ChatGPT literally released a new E2E version 2 days before this blog post, and has claimed vastly superior performance with it.[0] In light of this I don't even see a need to continue to keep...

With the dust settling on the Chinese EV tariffs announcement, something that I'm curious about. Will Waymo's new vehicles be hit with the tariffs? Since they are designed by Zeeker and made by Geely in China as well as being all electric, one would assume they are impacted as well and may...

Add Waymo to the list. US opens probe into Alphabet's Waymo over 'unexpected behavior' of self-driving vehicles: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/us-opens-probe-into-alphabets-waymo-over-performance-self-driving-vehicles-2024-05-14/ Key highlights

and as I keep saying, the CPUC has stated that the testing permit is a prerequisite for their issued permit. So yes, the Waymo would be operating under *all* of their issued permits, not a single random one they can cherry pick. I don't see how, unless AZ is a HUGE contributor. Their latest...

IMO This is one of those "they thought AI would be a miracle worker" and it isn't. What I think the big problem with the neural-net wipers is simply the cameras can't see the rain. I parked my car in a parking lot while it was lightly raining the other day and looked at the main/wide/narrow...

See below The DMV website, does not law make. For both: The law itself is unambiguous on this. It quite literally specifies "in any manner involved". In any case, I guess we'll let the DMV decide as I've emailed them for clarification on this missing incident report.

Their pay-per-ride service operates under both the CA DMV and the CPUC permit. The CPUC even said this when issuing their permits. https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/news-and-updates/all-news/cpuc-approves-permits-for-cruise-and-waymo-to-charge-fares-for-passenger-service-in-sf-2023

Where? I actually asked this back in this thread, as it's not reported in the CA vehicle collision dataset. EDIT: After digging more on this tonight, I managed to find the report in the NHTSA dataset, the accident happened in San Francisco and wasn't reported to the CA DMV. The NHTSA dataset...

Well, drivers tests are designed to test the drivers understanding of road rules and laws, something I would think applies to AVs as well... But tell me this, what are we actually testing here with AVs? Currently it's only "can the car drive without a collision." Nothing else. I'm sure Waymo...

Never said they didn't, I was just giving extreme examples of failures FSD could have that still wouldn't count as a disengagement. Hence why I said "same with these incidents." I was saying that all of these incidences of unlawful driving (wrong way, illegal lane, illegal turn) don't have to...

Yeah, I've been arguing this for a bit. I could have FSD hit a hive of Africanized bees, and kill 10 puppies but if I didn't disengage FSD it doesn't matter for stats. Same with Waymo and Cruise for all of these incidents.

You can see in the video that the intersection had no traffic in the path of the Waymo.

Nah, clearly he's implying that 12.4 will give you reason to want to hold the wheel which means you'll never see the nag again. (/s obv) Will be interesting to see how long (if it makes it out at all) until the NHTSA has them revert it lol, especially after the scare letter they sent from...

Only problem is the Waymo was turning left not right. Stopping a right turn and continuing straight isn't bad. Stopping a left turn 90% of the way through and deciding to go straight...well I think Waymo would much prefer the car to get stuck than to drive head on towards traffic while on the...

ABC7: Waymo vehicles are disregarding traffic laws by driving in bus only lanes, and then stops to make an (illegal) left turn when signs say no left turn.

Looks like a Waymo also got itself stuck in a (protected?) bike lane. Side note: I always forget the term for this type of bike lane, is it technically a protected one or not or something else?

Waymo pulls out with no way to go left, so it starts driving the wrong way in traffic... Smells like a regression somewhere to see two instances of this so close together.

TBH, been thinking of this issue over the past few days and I wonder if it's not actually a training, data, simulation, etc issue at all. I wonder if the AI model has such a limited amount of recall that it essentially can't blend between driving and braking smoothly that far out. So instead...

If it's anything like the recent Conway AR supercharger. Permit Approved: 11/06/2023 Construction Started: ~12/15/2023 Finalized and open: 02/16/2024 They did seemingly have some problems during the install process for Conway though. Led to a bunch of work after everything looked done.

But that's exactly what I'm talking about. Both of your detection scenarios could lead to construction workers not being picked up as a stop sign. If the stop sign velocity = worker, not a stop sign? If the stop sign is held close to the worker, not a stop sign? That's why personally a lot of...

I think it's more difficult than we'd imagine. What's the difference between this guy and a construction worker holding a slow/stop sign? To us, an easy distinction based on many cues. To a self driving car? We can only speculate. Additionally you run into the "Chucks Left Turn" problem that...

Quoting myself to call myself out. Since posting I remembered they have testing in AZ as well (I always forget about Phoenix/Chandler), though the article doesn't list where the incident occurred. Anyone have more detail about this incident?

Saw a little hint to look through Waymo's accident reports so far this year. Many of the same old with them getting rear ended, but a few stood out. Waymo drives into a gate. https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/file/waymo_02052024-pdf/ Waymo hits a parked car...

Another interesting thing from today. Stop signs printed on T-shirts are an attack vector for Waymo vehicles (not that I'm surprised, this is one of those "how the hell do you handle this" scenarios). Also gives me a fun experiment to try on FSD (not a printed stop sign shirt though)...

Even in your scenario the Waymo got itself into the situation, it shouldn't have even been possible for it to be close enough to "rear end" them if it was being safe. Also what happened to defensive driving? "Someone's going slow, better illegally pass them" isn't defensive or safe. I doubt it...

I find this interesting tbh. I use a solution that's not a normal USB drive in my car (TeslaUSB) and recently it started getting iffy, sometimes leaving only the event.json and the thumbnail file for events but not the video. Everyone assumed they changed something, and now with this I wonder...

I wonder how often it "updates" the LLM portion. It maintained "Keeping a steady speed, the road is clear" even when a pedestrian was running across the road around 7:10 (and continued accelerating).

Slight correction, it's not "be under 40mph if moderate or heavy traffic" it's "be under 40mph." IMO the biggest problem with the commercial is them showing the car driving on a dinky little 2 lane highway, when all of their coverage right now iirc is large freeways. ETA: Also this made me...

Status is now "Under Review."

If the Cybertruck is anything to go by, probably something along the lines of...

This guy always says stuff like this, he's a constant "snarky" troll. Just look at his post and then his post history. That's the reason for the snark. I added the thumbs down comment after he had already done it. On top of that, literally read his post. He's trying to claim a subject field...
