Comment on Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train Tracks

That actually sounds like a reasonable response. Driving assist means that a human is supposed to be attentive to take control. If the system detects a situation where it’s unable to make a good decision, dumping that decision on the human in control seems like the closest they have to a “fail safe” option. Of course, there should probably also be an understanding that people are stupid and will almost certainly have stopped paying attention a long time ago. So, maybe a “human take the wheel” followed by a “slam the brakes” if no input is detected in 2-3 seconds. While an emergency stop isn’t always the right choice, it probably beats leaving a several ton metal object hurtling along uncontrolled in nearly every circumstance.

If you give the driver enough time to respond, which tesla doesn’t. They turn it off a second before impact and then claim it wasn’t it self-driving mode.

  Not even a second, it’s sometimes less than 250-300ms. If I wasn’t already anticipating it to fail and disengage as it went though the 2-lane wide turn I would have gone straight into oncoming traffic

Yeah but I googled it after making that comment, and it was sometimes less than one second before impact: futurism.com/tesla-nhtsa-autopilot-report

I have seen reports where Tesla logic appears as “Human take the wheel since the airbag is about to deploy in the next 2 micro seconds after solely relying on camera object detection and this is totally YOUR fault, kthxbai!” If there was an option to allow the bot to physically bail out of the car as it rolls you onto the tracks while you’re still sitting in the passenger seat, that’s how I would envision how this auto pilot safety function works.

I don’t know if that is still the cae, but many electronic stuff in th is had warnings, with pictures like “don’t put it I the bath”, and the like .

People are dumb, and you should take that into account.
