It's fine, they'll fix these issues in time for the robotaxi rollout ten years from now.
What's that? They're planning on launching the robotaxis at the end of this month? Well then.
its not that the car is programmed poorly, it just really hates children
Hunter Seeker Mode: School Busses. Easy Prey.
Well there is the problem right there, FSD shouldn't be doing these tests in the first place! How else is Tesla supposed to get their amazing cyber taxi out of it has to follow all these dumb rules?
Not American, but I think FSD stands for Full Self-Driving, not an organization.
I'm reading the comments about this video, and I think people are missing the point.
It's not about the Telsa running into the kid. It's about the Tesla completely ignoring the FLASHING FUCKING STOP SIGN at the side of the bus, which resulted in it hitting the kid dummy.
This could have been a pedestrian crossing, railroad stop, intersection, etc.
These vehicles aren't "smart" and should not be allowed on the road. Any idiot can have greater awareness than a Tesla.
Yeah, it might kill the kid, it might not.
Im still gonna stick to my ford F50000 Fleshreaper (BLOOD FOR THE CAR GOD!™) driven by a good old fashioned human to get the job done.
Besides, it avoids the whole mess of theological issues about who gets moloch's love.
No 'smart' device is smart.
you wouldn't say that to his face, would you? 🥺
With a hammer to the camera
Pretty normal for a Tesla.
I'm a school bus driver. This is also totally normal for human-driven vehicles.
Didn’t I just read this like a few weeks ago? But there’s a Jun 15 date in the article. So did this happen again?
It's the same story making the rounds.
Edit: They also did it in Austin and somewhere else, so same situation in 2 different spots, generating like 4-5x the stories as each one gets repeated in the news cycle
Sounds like a typical driver in the US
I'm a school bus driver and this year we finally got the automatic cameras that catch people going past our red flashers and stop signs. My camera has captured about two to three drivers per day doing this. I would have rather had the automatic machine guns but the camera is a fine second choice.
do they get tickets in the mail?
Yeah, that's how it works. A lot of people just never pay them, though.
That must impact their insurance even if they try to avoid the tickets though?
Glad you got cameras for your bus!
Do people in the US just get away with not paying tickets?
Over here, if you don't pay fines, it will get escalated until the point of seizure, and if you have nothing else to seize, they will take your car.
Not paying isn't really an option.
The only difference is that a driver would get out of their car, check for damage to their vehicle, and then get mad at the kid! /s
Reminds me of when they literally programmed rolling stops into FSD
What the hell is wrong with the author of that article? Jesus christ
Seriously, it was written like a 1980s interview with Boy George. No thought, missing words, and even sentences with no subject.
All of his questions are easily answered by rubbing two neurons together for a couple seconds.
Written by AI.
It predates ChatGPT so I doubt it. This is organic incompetence
Bot written articles were a thing before ChatGPT.
Oh....well that disturbing. This was a Forbes article, I thought without AI, that the articles would have to pass the most basic of grammar checks.
If I worked at Tesla, I would very much be doing a crappy job and slipping bad ideas into what looks like good code. The Lord's work.
How would you know where to put it among all the other shitty code?
I would very much be doing a crappy job and slipping bad ideas into what looks like good code.
No need to: Tesla makes extensive use of the H1B program. You'd be more likely to accidentally make the code better.
Because, as we know, US developers are so much better than anyone else around the world. Which is why they they gave us excellent software like Windows 11, MS Teams, Google Hangouts, and so on.
Take your xenophobia and stick it where the sun doesn't shine.
I’ve seen some comments elsewhere about how it can be trusted.
Edit; like really straight up trusted. The delusion is unreal.
Hell yeah
