In case you were worried about the roads being too safe, you can rest easily knowing that Teslas will be rolling out with unsupervised “Full Self Driving” in a couple days.
It doesn’t seem to be going great, even in supervised mode. This one couldn’t safely drive down a simple, perfectly straight road in broad daylight :( Veered off the road for no good reason. Glad nobody got badly hurt.
We analyze the onboard camera footage, and try to figure out what went wrong. Turns out, a lot. We also talk through how camera-only autonomous cars work, Tesla’s upcoming autonomous taxi rollout, and how AI hallucinations figure into everything.
The obvious reason is that the product is not capable of driving itself.
That system has no awareness that it’s a motor vehicle.
It has the capacity to execute instructions.
It has no capacity to judge if the instructions are reasonable.
It does not know, understand, or care if it gets you to your destination or if it kills you, or itself.
No cruelty, just executing instructions.
Nuh-uh you are hating on AI without reason.
The AI is completely unaware of the significance of my hurtful words about its capacity.
