Yes I know. Detecting rain isnt the issue. Its the combination of issues 4,5,6,7 variables.

 

How do you weight those issues in importance?

 

Dog

Child

Rain

Pot hole

Tree

Building

Curve in road

Car on wrong side of road

 

You CANNOT WRITE A PROGRAM with CORRECT WEIGHTING OF RISKS FOR ALL VARIABLES.

 

Painfully obvious people need to think about it.

You're obviously way behind on reading up on technology.

How does a computer differ between a small child and a dog?

 

Better to kill a dog than swerve and kill a child.

 

Facial recognition can determine minor fine facial features. I am sure the difference between a dog and a child would be obvious.

The opposite is true. Ive driven battery cars mostly junk and less safe than petrol cars.

In 1/3 of a second?

 

Think about it

 

5 dogs

5 children all different ages

20 adults

10 old people

10 trees

5 buildings

 

You really think a program has it covered?

Ever hear of a decision state matrix? Keep up?

National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that human error accounts for 95% of all auto accidents, therefore self-driving cars that eliminate most accidents caused by human error and are safer than humans. Are you getting it now?

 

Humans get tired, drunk, stoned, text while driving, are easily distracted and let's be honest, a significant percentage of humans (dont take it personal) ....fall to the far left of the IQ curve chart.

 

 

I dont, words relate to you not me.

 

A computer code cant factor in all variables.

How do you program common sense into a computer?

 

Its raining

A dog runs across from the left

A kid runs across from the right

Another car over takes you at 140kph

 

A car going 100kph in.opposite direction swerves onto your path and there is little room on the side of the road or a big tree and a building on right

 

What does the car do? Brake? Hit the tree? Swerve right into a building?

 

A good driver can make a decision to choose the best option. A computer has no idea what the best option is.

 

 

Quick!

You need to phone Tesla, Mercedes, VW, Volvo, Toyota, Ford, BMW and explain things.

Keep up with what? Where is your data for 100,000 cars on the road driven by computers?

Do some research

Admittedly the brain, with exceeding variable efficacy (as demonstrated on this forum), can have a faster processing time but this is offset by the faster reaction time and accuracy, reliability and innovation with computer technology. Infared sensors can also discriminate in the poor visibility.

 

"The world’s biggest auto manufacturers have poured billions of dollars into trying to perfect the technology. Despite impressive results, autonomous driving technology still can’t be relied on to handle really complex situations, and won’t any time soon."

At levels 1,2,3.

 

Computers long way off level 5.

Good stuff.

Says 60% of cars sold in 2030 will have level 2 (able to control steering, acceleration and braking,) while still requiring drivers to remain engaged. 

5% will be sold with level 4. Sounds about right.

By 2045 all cars sold will have level 5 (fully automated) systems that take away the 95% cause of car accidents...human error.

 

How many of the 1.3 million yearly road deaths (1,235000 caused by human error) will be saved is to be determined.

 

 

 

Situation

 

Family with dog and small child left side of road

 

Old person with 2 dogs right side

 

How does a computer weight this info if it has to swerve to miss a person in the middle of the road and that person is handicapped?

HUH?

Wonder why the manufacturers/engineers have designed over 1,000 micro chips in every car?

Ever hear of:

anti lock brakes,

cruise control,

electronic stability control,

blind spot detection,

collision warning,

lane departure warning,

rear view video, automatic braking,

pedestrian emergency braking,

lane centering

Grip the steering wheel with both hands, look out the windshield and the mirrors. No need for all the other garbage. ABS braking excepted.

Know why people have accidents - they do not pay attention.

Know why people buy cars that have all the other garbage - auto windshield wipers ? Because they are too GD lazy to drive the car, much rather be on FB

We have already been through this with weighting. Obvious you have no desire to catch up!

Same situation but poor visibility at night, even driver has 20/20 but cannot clearly see coming collision? Infra-red sensors discriminate situation and take appropriate action. 

If human driven cars are so safe, I wonder why kids are still being run over and people getting killed driving into a moat like what happened in CM.

So what does the computer do?

Got a feeling the anti-technology people here are also strongly in the climate change denier camp.

Any normal person free to think should hate the CCP as well, responsible as they are for the deaths of tens of millions of their own people. Then the virus and concentration camps for muslims, lockdowns, ghost cities, oppression in Hong Kong and Tibet, really what''s not to hate? Not the Chinese- the CCP.

Here we go again.  Let me use your same paragraph but just swap a few key words and see how it looks:

Any normal person free to think should hate the USA as well, responsible as they are for the deaths of millions of people and the maiming of millions more. Then the abuses in Iraq,  and concentration camps for people who are not charged with crimes, oppression and brutality against black people, really what''s not to hate? Not the Americans, the USA.

It could also be tailored for Russia, and so on.   His point as always is his dislike for the CCP and anything that stems from them.  Why? He has been brainwashed it appears and is not thinking for himself...thats what happens when you believe only one side and do not do your own research.  It is why my former neighbor in the US never read the paper or watch the news, she did not want to be bombarded with fictional tales her words....

There’s been a lot of China bashing in recent years. Main reason is because China posts a threat to the hegemony of the West, particularly USA. 

However, history rolls on and whether we like it or not, the next few decades will be that of Chinas’.
