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?
