Comment on Tesla Autopilot drives into Wile E Coyote fake road wall in camera vs lidar test

As much as I like Mark, He’s got some explaining to do.
At 15:42 the center console is shown, and autopilot is disengaged before impact. It was also engaged at 39mph during the youtube cut, and he struck the wall at 42mph. (ie the car accelerated into the wall)
Mark then posted the ‘raw footage’ on twitter. This also shows autopilot disengage before impact, but shows it was engaged at 42mph. This was a seprate take.

If you watch the footage it’s clearly the same take.

From the twitter footage:
This is from the first couple frames showing that Autopilot is enabled, just as the blue lines appeared on screen: 42mph displayed on the center console.

And from the youtube footage:
Again, from the first couple frames as Autopilot is enabled, just as the blue lines appear: 39mph displayed on the center console.

They are very very similar, but they do appear to be two different takes.

He stated in the video he tapped the brakes. Doesn’t that disengage auto pilot?
Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
No. He explicitly says ‘without even a slight tap on the breaks’ in the youtube video.
Then:

He did state that he hit the brakes. Just on the fog one, not the wall. 🤷

The software likely disengaged because the wall was so close it could not function. It would be the same as if an object suddenly covered up the camera while you were driving. It would turn off the autopilot/FSD or whatever they call it.

He said he tapped the brakes on one of the earlier non-wall runs.

He explicitly states that he didn’t tap the brakes.
