    I am not a fan of Tesla/Elon but are you sure that no human driver would fall for this?

      Lets assume that a human driver would fall for it, for sale of argument.

      Would that make it a good idea to potentially run over a kid just because a human would have to, when we have a decent option to do better than human senses?

        What makes you assume that a vision based system performs worse than the average human? Or that it can’t be 20 times safer?

        I think the main reason to go vision-only is the software complexity of merging mixed sensor data. Radar or Lidar alone also have their limitations.

        I wish it was a different company or that Musk would sell Tesla. But I think they are the closest to reaching full autonomy. Let’s see how it goes when FSD launches this year.

      The road runner thing seems a bit far fetched yeah. But there were also tests with heavy rain and fog which were not passed by Tesla.

        The road runner thing isn’t far fetched. Teslas have a track record of t-boning semi trucks in overcast conditions, where the sky matches the color of the truck’s container.

        Should be fine if the car reduces speed to account for the conditions. Just like a human driver does.

          You mean a traffic rule? I can’t comment about the US but in Portugal I don’t recall such a rule when learning to drive. Also in Finland I have not experienced that since traffic keeps going even in heavy blizzards.
