Robotaxi, Waymo, and others

Most incriminating fact in the story…

Investigators also said phone searches from Butler’s device showed apparent frustration with Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system in the weeks before the crash, including searches about the system being “not aggressive enough” and “too timid.”

He must be an aggie

Charged with manslaughter, senseless

Man arrested and charged in fatal TESLA crash

Another “edge” case AI never saw, anticipated, or knew how to handle. Fireworks
in the road ? Just drive over them; only one
Waymo caught on fire.

In the spirit of fairness…“but people drive over
stuff too” !

Another failure, another learning point.
They are learning, right ? It’s being validated and confirmed (by whom ?) that it will not happen again. Right ? ? ?

Also a mention of some of the vehicles stopping at intersections with non-functioning traffic lights. I wonder how the programing resolves that. Really though, the batteries dying in traffic seems like a pretty big issue that should have been anticipated.

Although I am not sure how you fix it because you can’t anticipate when it might get stuck in traffic.

This is kinda funny except that it takes up the time of first responders who might be needed elsewhere.
