Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans

  Even if they were, would it not be better to give the car better senses?

  Humans don’t have LIDAR because we can’t just hook something into a human’s brain and have it work. If you can do that with a self-driving car, why cut it down to human senses?

    Exactly, with this logic why have motors or wheels?

    You don’t have wheels so you shouldn’t use cars

    I agree it would be better. I’m just saying that in theory cameras are all that would be required to achieve human level performance, so long as the AI was capable enough

      Except if I get something to replace me, it better do better than me, not just just as good. So I would expect better sensors.

      Except humans have self cleaning lenses. Cars don’t.

      “So long as the AI has the same intelligence as a human brain” is a pretty big assumption. That assumption is in sci-fi territory.

        Yeah thats my point

  Also the Human brain is still on par with some of the worlds best supercomputers, I doubt a Tesla has that much onboard processing power.

    Good point. Though I’ve heard some of these self driving cars connect remotely to a person to help drive when the AI doesnt know what to do, so I guess it’s conceivable that the car could connect to the cloud. That would be super error prone though. Connectivity issues cloud brick your car.

  Cameras are inferior to human vision in many ways. Especially the ones used on Teslas.

    Lower dynamic range for one.

  I am a Human and there were occasions where I couldn’t tell if it’s an obstacle on the road or a weird shadow…

    Yes. In theory cameras should be enough to get you up to human level driving competence but even that is a low bar.

      I feel like camera only could theoretically pass human performance, but that hinges entirely on AI models that do not currently exist, and that those models, when they do exist, being capable of running inside of a damn car.
