Watching a lot of dash cam videos has ingrained in me the importance of predicting what's going on around you on the road. Having a dash cam gives people a sense of I'm in the right and I can prove it. They tend to continue doing the right thing and ignoring people doing the wrong thing. This often leads to trouble. It is incredibly important to predict potential violations of the rules and avoid them. Self-driving cars will need to adapt to this. It's not something you can visually see but somehow you can sense it. At some point their reactions might get fast enough to react in real time to those infractions.

I live in the Phx area, and I'm not an expert, but I can tell you pedestrians hit outside a crosswalk does happen regularly because it's very difficult to see people if they aren't wearing something reflective at night. You might as well roll the dice against your life when you do that because it's dangerous.

I usually listen to New Mind when going to sleep rather than watching the video but that remark about the poggo-stick man made me roll in bed towards the screen in a very wtf moment.

Your explanation of the current state of the art in this field is outstanding . We are not that far away, despite how clumsy it appears now . There is a lot of work in the data-processing element you touched on, to allow a compute engine (CPU/ASIC etc) to process hybridized sensor data in real-time that is a challenge. it is as if the computer engine is drinking from a fire hose at the moment. [Edit] At the moment the solution is to transform the input data into a "compressed" format with as little loss as possible such that the AI engine does not "over-fit" but performs on the data faster because of the pre-processing step.

Fully autonomous vehicles are possible in cities and on the highways between them. I don't see them being much good up here in Northern Canada though.

My vision of self driving was quite different from what actually happened. I expected we see self driving between 2020-2025 on specific roads and the company would offer it only for these roads. Maybe even installing markings or sensors. While the majority of roads would continue to require manual driving. I am surprised that companies like Tesla went for an everything or nothing approach. It seems incredibly risky. I also thought that if an AI gets stuck there would be a remote operator helping out in realtime but that is also not a thing at all.

> I also thought if an AI gets stuck there would be a remote operator All viable approaches to "driverless" (level 4+) autonomous vehicles do in fact have this capability; and Waymo, Cruise, Zoox, and others are all building such an infrastructure that this teleguidance can be provided. Tesla, however, doesn't appear to accept the reality that without teleguidance, a vehicle can never graduate to driverless until AI undergoes a step change in capability (as this video pointed out). This video was largely factually correct, but it seemed to ignore the business model of today's serious AV companies: provide safe and cheap transport to people in high density, urban areas, with well mapped and thoroughly validated routes. This business model is within the grasp of today's technology with incremental progress. Tesla's approach ("consumer owned vehicles that can drive themselves everywhere with no mapping nor teleguidance nor validation") is a recipe for criminal liability, if they are ever so reckless as to deploy a driverless robotaxi without fundamental alterations. I suspect that Tesla will continue to lead in the development of semi-autonomous driver assistance packages, but I wouldn't hold my breath for their supposed robotaxi to materialize any time soon.

If sensors could be installed within the roads, or guardrails, or whatever is available along the freeways, then perhaps it would be easier to make self driving cars just on the freeways. That would be a wonderful improvement!

"levels of autonomy" are not system capability, they are design for government to know how take responsibility, not what they can do. Why is important? Because even if system is as safe as avg human, most companies would not take responsibility (btw as avg means is safer than 50% of drivers)

All we need is Level 3 Autonomy as a Safety feature while having humans be in control of the vehicle and it will subsequently decrease fatal crashes due to human error, and negate fatal crashes due to autonomous malfunction or miss indentification

Combining this with inter-vehicle communications will be awesome for safer and more efficient traffic flow. (Maybe even stop-free intersections when the vehicles can time themselves to miss each other.) To make it safer for pedestrians, maybe a beacon built into cell phones could be pinged by the car so that it avoids a collision with the phone and thus the pedestrian. Also, to be fair, I don't know if the average person could have avoided hitting Ms. Herzberg. At 11:50ish, look how close the car is before you can even see her feet and the bike.

It was a crash that most humans would've caused. However, people will not accept machine automation without a person to blame afterwards. So, that being human reality (at least in America), Autonomous cars need to be flawless. Using radar would've saved that woman's life, but not if a human was driving without radar.

An autonomous car should avoid ANY solid object (moving or not) that is larger than a baseball. It doesn't need to know whether it is a human on a pogostick or not. I'm visually impaired and was almost hit by a car with a human driver several times, a few of these were even I used to use an identification cane (I stopped using one because it was just distracting and it didn't make people stop sucking at driving). I've also been in a ditch more than once because the "impossible to replicate oh so special" meat computer that was operating the vehicle was distracted by falling asleep, eating a sub, on their phone or they just panicked and froze up.

In fact, I'm not sure why I would need a heuristic for navigation (like AI) when I already have an extremely fast exact solution.

It doesn't really matter if a self driving car is a bit less likely to make mistakes overall than a human or is making the same mistakes as humans would because the entire point is that they're supposed to be more safe. We don't accept changes this large unless they bring a marked safety improvement in general. Also the suggestion of dedicated infrastructure seems a bit silly to me, at that point why not just build a train? We've had fully autonomous trains for decades and they've been extremely safe, with none of the issues self driving cars face and we've had basically automatic trains ever since the opening of the Shinkansen in the 60s which featured the first Automated Train Control system. HSR has proven itself to be by far the safest form of transport in the world, with accidents being counted on one hand and many systems being able to boast no fatalities whatsoever. Modern ATC systems such as ETCS and it's mother system ERTMS are basically completely fool proof and have proven themselves in implementation across the world. Btw it'd be neat if you did a video on train signalling systems.

I feel that autonomous cars are the wrong solution to a very correct problem. We maybe should look into fixing the problem of traffic not with more cars but better city design: Walkable cities, Biking infrastructure, Public Transport - be it buses Trams or trains. Cars are about the least efficient mode of transport so why push it rather than the more efficient and more convenient? The car will stay off course, its not worth having a regular and varied bus service into areas with very low population densities.

Is it better to protect the driver or to minimize total harm? Once you have the data this is really just a physics and statistics problem.

If you do nothing wrong and get in an accident, you can still be sued by the other party involved. Who do they sue when it is the car itself driving?

If so, great for you and your neighbors, but they are extremely unlikely to achieve the same level of ubiquitous installation and use in the rest of the world. A new network of train tracks being installed for passenger trains that properly covers a city, ala New York City's subway systems is incredibly expensive and has insane capital requirements. No one is realistically considering new subways without some massive and insane changes to government regulations regarding zoning, permitting and huge cash expenditures, with little to no expectations of capital return. Also, it seems to me that most people that are advocating for trains in this fashion, seem to think that there aren't already extensive rail networks all across the continental USofA. There are many many rail lines crisscrossing the country, and there are I think 4 main companies that own and operate the rail lines. Much of the non time sensitive freight is transferred from its origin to a shipping yard near its destination, and a local truck is uesd to pick up the shipping container and move it to its final destination. As with almost any major product or resource, the buyers and sellers will negotiate to find the shipping method that best matches both parties needs.

The thing is, even if we assume that the car could correctly distinguish between these different kinds of horrible - which is _hard_ - and take very nuanced decisions, it's all sort of besides the point, from an adoption perspective. Very few accidents today involve the sort of complexities arising from these thought experiments - in reality, it's more a matter of detecting that something _is_ there, what sort of impact it can have, and take evasive maneuvres as necessary. It won't be perfect in the freakiest of edge cases, but it will be _orders of magnitude better_ than human drivers - and that's what's really important.

You need ~100% precision in driving to call it driving. Yet, if you want to be that stringent with the criterias, no AI is doing anything that close to perfection. They ain't painting their way to a new art paradigm based on something better then golden ratio, writing masterpieces that make millions rethink their values and expand their conscience. The old adage goes: easy to learn, difficult to master. You're not doing art just because you're squibling some lines. Art is that which survives. It has deep roots into instinct, moral zeitgeist, unconscious etc. Contrast with Situational~concrete skills. I.e. sewing, driving, mixing, matching & applying oil paints. These are inherently situational tasks. Sewing this section of this sweater with this machine, desaturating on purpose this shade with this medium and this brand of oils. The way one would automate this practices is by ... bastardizing the practice. Smplifying and standardizing it, eradicating all variations away from the theme. End result? Sweatshop vs bespoke tailoring. There's "sewing" and then there's sewing. Same thing with other activities.

They'll never work except they are already here

Other that cameras, what happens to all that fancy ranging technology when there is more than one autonomous car on the road? Or when it’s on a busy street where every other car is self driving? Or worse yet, in a traffic jam of self driving vehicles on a multi-lane highway? To date, I’ve only seen examples of a single self driving car travelling with human controlled vehicles.

It's really small chance that the laser of another lidar will hit another one's sensor in exactly correct position and angle. And if that happens the other lidar will see one erroneous spot amongst million of data points, which would be very much the same as the laser hitting a fly, a snowflake or some other form of disturbance in the air.

Most likely scenario is that the vehicle-to-vehicle protocol, and/or vehicle-to-cloud protocol will replace as needed and add as needed. The environment will look 99.9% identical from 10 cars. If there's interference (even a tall truck in front of you) then obviously you'd want supplemental data from unobstructed vehicles in your vicinity...

@@Fatman305 Very true. Vehicles that are able to communicate with each other can greatly increase the accuracy of navigation as well as coordinate with each other to avoid collisions or to dismantle jams in an efficient manner. One should also always try to cover their bases against malicious attacks or injected data. With the possibility of multiple cars sharing information there is a greater possibility for bad data (either on purpose or by accident) to get into the mix. With LIDARS there has been studies on how to perform spoofing attacks against them, but they have not been successful. Against a lot of cameras it is possible to do either "infra-red flashbang" attack if the camera picks up infrared wavelength or targeted laser attack. These can be devastating to the camera that can even result in permanent damage to the device. These attacks won't be noticeable by humans. So this is also a thing that car manufacturers need to take into account in the future. If one would be going around throwing flashbangs then everyone would see, but a pinpoint laser that autotargets vehicle cameras or a infrared burst of light to blind them can be really hard to tell is going on.

Then they will mutate into a self igniting atomic bomb.

Your approach that LIDAR is cost prohibitive is 4 to 5 years out of date. Luminar and Velodyne have both developed sensors under $1000.

Where are you getting funding????

Self driving cars are right now are a waste of time. You can't completely check out and fall asleep or read a book or play games on your lap top etc. so you sit there , doing nothing but yet still have to be aware of what's going on. That's like taking a buss ride with a tarantula in a box and the box has a loose lid. That's worse than actually driving yourself .

Its been 5 months and now there there is an AI arms race. Do you think lidar is the future of self driving or do you think it is the camera-AI combo?

New cars crash avoidance technology is far likelier to get you into an accident than keep you out of one

when i bought FSD for my tesla, i was fully aware what they are trying to solve is nothing short of AGI

Personally I think a better explanation of the greater reaction that comes when an AI vehicle has an accident is that while a human could probably of avoided a hazard if they'd of been alert a computer cannot unless it learns. It may also take years to be able to do so and that similar tragic events will simply be repeated other, presumably en-mass

The biggest issue with AI vehicles is they tend to hit things not because they didn't know they weren't supposed to, but because they didn't see it at all or then didn't know what it was so they ignored it. Once AI can truly transform video feeds into a 3D spacial environment then these issues will be mostly resolved. Tesla is damn close to being there, they just have to optimize it so it works for near and far objects better.

Unless all roads around the World are standardized and all vehicles have automatous capabilities then we can forget a truly safe and reliable self-driving system. Elon’s persistence to promise this for the past 7 or 8 years yet we are not close to FSD is telling.

True, a car that can fully replace a human would need to have roughly human intellect. That being said, they do not need to be entirely independent. Waymo already has a good solution which is make the self driving software as good as possible and then have humans step in if something goes wrong. It is unreasonable to expect something as chaotic as driving to never stump a computer.

True Self driving is only possible with AGI and current RCNN model would need trillions in investment in infrastructure to operate properly.

It is already a reality in Shenzhen, China now in early 2024.

Beeing in an electric car exposes you to a multitude of emfs and rf radiation sources. Also the effects of radars and ultrasounds will be observed...
