I don't think there's any problem with asking for evidence to support claims. Not everyone has the same information, and sourcing claims puts everyone on the same page. It isn't fair or reasonable to expect people to automatically accept as fact anything they read on a forum. That's obviously...

So turn signal detection only works/worked in Germany and you can only find mention of it in German owner manuals? How is it common knowledge then? Maybe it is to German drivers, but most TMC members are from outside Germany. Mobileye’s English-language documentation doesn’t make it easy to...

Right now it feels to me like supervised learning is hard to beat for perception, but long-term it would be ideal to get rid of supervised learning because human data labelling bottlenecks progress. If learning of both perception and action can occur without human labelling or any supervisory...

Pre-AlexNet I’m skeptical how accurately a system could classify turn signals. The owner’s manual for the 2012 Audi A8 doesn’t mention anything about being able to detect turn signals. Instead, it says on page 89 that it will match a lead vehicle’s speed until that vehicle is clear: “When...

Hard to find any mention of production cars detecting and responding to turn signals this early on. Can you provide a source? What’s Mobileye’s detection error rate, and what’s Tesla’s?

Are you talking about a feature that is in production and used by customers today, or a prototype that has never been deployed commercially? Is there any non-Tesla production vehicle on the road today, driven by regular customers, that currently detects turn signals and responds by slowing down...

Someone posted a video to Reddit purporting to show Autopilot recognizing another car’s turn signal and slowing down to let the car change lanes: A video proof AP now give right of the way to cars with merging signals after 2019.5.15 : teslamotors

This is apparently new in the 2019.8.3 firmware: Autosteer Stop Light Warning Your car may warn you in some cases if it detects that you are about to run a red light while Autosteer is in use. This is not a substitute for an attentive driver and will not stop the car. Photo by u/IV-Crush...

Another video. (Thanks @diplomat33)

Paywalled, but in the preview you can see that Waymo riders made a complaint through the mobile app for 40% of rides: With Waymo Robotaxis, Customer Satisfaction Is Far From Guaranteed The reporter shared an example on Twitter: Amir Efrati on Twitter (I recommend following Amir Efrati by the...

It’s comically slow... but better safe than sorry. :) Hope to see steady improvement as they keep developing and testing it.

Apologies if these were already posted somewhere. First videos I’ve seen of Enhanced Summon. (Thanks to @TheTeslaShow for sharing.) To quote @TheTeslaShow: “Seems only useful for your own house and or empty late night lots or super low traffic office lots. But with iteration and more use...

Navigant’s report costs $4,000, so unless somebody pays that, we won’t know exactly what this ranking is based on. It’s unclear to me ATM whether Navigant has any AI/robotics expertise in-house or interviewed AI/robotics experts for this report. If not, then why should Navigant’s ranking matter...

Okay, this is a helpful clarification. I think this gets back to the recurring debate on this forum about demos — whether we should treat a demo as meaningful evidence of real technological progress, or whether we should doubt that a demo tells us anything meaningful about the commercial...

On reinforcement learning: It seems to me that the essential difference between applying RL to driving versus other activities like Dota is the challenge of representing the driving task in simulation. How do you make sure what the agent learns is driving, and not a video game that closely...
