😂

Was the invisible driver ok??

People crash more often.

@kenmorgan316 well, not really. You'd have to compare incidents with its comparable population. Millions of daily drivers vs like a dozen self driving cars. Seems like the numbers would not favor the driverless cars. You can't compare aggregate numbers.

What are you talking about? Waymo is currently operating in the L.A. area.

I'm not sure where you get your information. They're currently operating in San Francisco and Los Angeles and are looking to expand further.

@@LisaDavidson-fc8bd I was referring to a company that recently, or last year, did get kicked out. I got it from a CNBC video. I think it was Cruise Driverless.

Biden wants to make the cars even more expensive...with insane environmental rules.

If one autonomous car can effectively be used for three times as many miles of travel at minimal cost, because no driver, what do you think happens to real cost per mile? Now, Waymo robo taxis cost a lot more to get on the road, so the math does not really work for Waymo, but a Tesla robo taxi will be able to get you where you want to go for the same or less than owning your own car, and it will be a lot more convenient.

Haha yeha we need 1,000 dollar cars

@@tribalypredisposed How many accidents are ok? I wouldn't get in a Tesla if it were the last "car" on earth. FJB.

More Iike affordable and better public transportation and safety.

No better than a driver. Accidents happen. They're not perfect. Once they start becoming a problem, we'll know. Accidents from Waymo don't happen very often.

@@DesertRunner602 Thanks, Elon.

probably the heat from the sun or anything sending out different types of wave signals? GPS updates sometimes have errors, dose it use gps ? people have crashed before from gps errors.

Nah I seen some flying on baseline

Good luck. They got cameras

Probably a lot more then this one waymo crash but since it's an autonomous car it can hit a fly and it will be on the news lol

In some cases yes. In others no. And the difference was humans controlled horse buggys as they do cars. Removing them from the equation is is a paradigm shift and that doesn't necessarily mean for the better.

Yep. And if you look at the early years of the automobile (just early years, not present), there were way more automobile accidents than horse and carriage accidents. Statistically, it was safer to stay with horse and carriage. Now look at driverless cars, specifically Waymo. Sure, they have the occasional accident or do something really stupid, but they are still statistically safer than human drivers. If our society were suddenly back in the horse and buggy days, there is no way we'd advance to the automobile with our current mindset.

You probably believe WTC7 freefell because of fire.

@@petercollingwood522The thing though AI is taught to be the best and to be better than humans effectively 99% of the time. In the future self-driving cars would be way better than human driving and less accidents would occur.

@@2kbasil I don't only regard AI as a bad idea for cars. I regard it as disasterous for Humanity as a whole.

Right. I think many people expect driverless cars to be perfect before they will trust them, which is unrealistic and never going to happen. We just need them to be better than humans, which arguably, they already are. Now, if you look at this one incident, you might think humans are way better since most of us wouldn't plow into a pole in broad daylight. If you look at the complete picture though, driverless cars have fewer accidents than humans.

That's also part of the reason why Tesla is only at level 2 autonomous driving while Waymo is at level 4. I'm all for Tesla improving, but so far they have not shown that their method is better.

@@LisaDavidson-fc8bd LOL. Waymo is level 4 (in extremely limited geofenced areas, with 24-7 human support available, below a certain speed, absolutely excluding any possibility of working where it snows, with limited functionality through multi lane roundabouts), while Tesla is level 2 (works everywhere, as of a few days ago no longer need to touch the steering wheel with 12.4.1, just pay attention, snow is a challenge but one it will accept, improving very rapidly). Everyone at Waymo is smart enough to know the race is over and they lost, Tesla is very close to achieving what Waymo did not try to do because they thought it was impossible. People working at Cruise will figure that out after it happens...

@@tribalypredisposed Don't talk to me about what Tesla is going to achieve unless you can predict the future. Get back to me when and if they achieve it. As of now, Tesla is a level 2 and Waymo is level 4. Even you don't dispute that. Yeah, Waymo is only a level 4 in a geofenced area, but Tesla is a level 4 NOWHERE. And what do you think would happen if a Waymo suddenly came across snow? Would it instantly explode? No, of course not. Waymo's are kept out of inclement weather not because they can't handle it but because they're still in a testing phase and they want to control its environment step by step. Tesla just opens the floodgates and exposes its cars to everything with absolutely no control or refinement. It's that style of development that is helping keep Tesla at level 2. You complain about Waymo needing 24/7 support? What do you think a Tesla owner is doing when they're sitting in the driver's seat and not allowed to take their eyes off the road? Tesla just shoved that support responsibility onto the customer. And since we're making predictions here, I'll make one of my own. Your idol Elon Musk will continue to make promises he can't keep and Tesla will never advance beyond a level 2, not in a year, not in 10 years, not ever. Waymo will continue to get better, expand its territory and cause everyone to forget Tesla even made an attempt at the driverless car.

The latest versions Of Tesla FSD are a offer a huge leap in performance, Tesla are well on the way to solving self driving.

A tweaker wouldn't detect you on a motorcycle while driving

How tall are you that you look like an electrical pole on your motorcycle?

It’s not that it didn’t detected the pole, it hit an pothole, made it swerve into the pole FMU. Waymo is still dealing with physics car, if something knocks it into direction, it is not going to stop immediately.

@@T_Time_ I have no idea why it hit the pole? But I do know the Waymo that was sent to pick up the passengers it was supposed to pick up, got stuck in the same alley. NTSA are investigating Waymo for numerous road violations and accidents, Waymo is far from perfect.
