There is no doubt FSD would refuse to drive through such fog, I've experienced it firsthand. That's not the problem. The problem is a human driver will take over and continue driving in limited visibility, and given the vehicle can see much worse than the driver it won't brake for an obstacle. For the Nth time, FSD is irrelevant.
Whatever technology, no vehicle should be driven in those conditions. The only correct decision is not to. If FSD is the only actor refusing to do so, it is the only one performing properly, and legally.
I call bullshit on this too. Driving in fog, snowfall, rain all of which significantly impair visibility is standard for many areas. You slow down in relation to the actual visibility observed and continue driving. Yes, it can get bad to the point driving safely at any reasonable speed isn't possible, but FSD gives up way before such threshold.
Bad judgement is exactly why accidents happen in such conditions.
Exactly and the cybertruck exceeded this by almost 10x. His scenario during the video of saying hitting a pothole would transfer all the weight to the truck is complete bs. Again this looks to just be a reason to pump out videos and put negative energy in the direction of Tesla. Sad to see these well loved YouTube’s have become sell outs. At least that’s how this looks.
It is designed to tow an 11k trailer with 1,100 pound tongue weight which means the receiver is designed to withstand much more than 1,100 pounds. In other words, if it broke at 3,300 pounds, that would be a fail, not a "great! it handled 3x what it needs to".
I think you’re missing the point. What he’s trying to communicate is the fact that LIDAR is a technology that can provide enhanced ability to an autonomous vehicle. Not this specific vehicle from Lexus but In general, On any vehicle that it was on, because it’s a mature technology, it’s out there now and CAN be used.
You are exactly correct. In the case of Jerry, he is full of shit or he didn’t understand what he was testing or how he was testing it. It was comical what he did and he lost so much credibility with his audience… Or at least with most of us.
It probably would not have made it a difference, which computer FSD was running on. Using just cameras It had limited ability to judge the depth of what it was looking at, certainly not enough to understand the difference between a painted road and a real road. That was the whole point of Mark‘s test and I don’t see why there is some thought that a faster computer could have figured this out better.
I used to think he must have some kind of engineering background or something. This video revealed to me that he has a very superficial knowledge of physics. At least Zach knows how to JerryRig something... Sort of. Sad state of affairs. The Roper video is a really sad story because he actually knows physics and science and understands how to set up an experiment. That was disappointing.
Dang that was fast, I guess they reached enough of his target audience to where they said ok we don’t need this no more.
