Why This Self-Driving Tesla Car Hit That Truck | Bumper 2 Bumper | Donut Media

As of 2020 Tesla has logged over 3 billion miles of autonomous vehicle driving. That’s over 120,000 laps around your momma. Like it or not, we can all agree that autonomous vehicles are the way of the future. Tesla, Cadillac, BMW, they're just a few companies that have cars on the market with autonomous features. But each of them tackle this "autonomous driving" problem in a different way using different technology. So how do they do it, how does it really work, and more importantly, is a computer in a car truly as responsive as the human brain? Well today we are gonna find out. Skynet is here.

[@mentalityoverall9250]

Exactly what i was thinking

[@games1004]

0:26 Yes, but what was "In" the truck? Look how much the truck moved when the "little" (by comparison) Tesla hit it. My guess is that the truck was empty or hauling something light (maybe boxes of snack-chips, for example). If my guess is right, then the Tesla crashed into an aluminum-walled air[box]. Also, notice the smoke from the brakes about 200 ft before impact (basically right when it passes the driver by the shoulder). … The Tesla was computing, "Oh, sh___, OH sh___, OH SH___! STOP! 😱" I'm not surprised the guy wasn't harmed, in my opinion. [Edit]: word-swapped "semi" for "truck"... smaller than a semi, just a regular box-truck.

[@MrYeet-ip4qj]

It is

[@shawniebeans8382]

Those truck cargo containers are made of thin aluminum or fiber glass. It cushioned impact

[@goober239]

Apparently not safe enough to avoid the truck.

[@tbuk8350]

You were basically spot-on with the "it didn't know what the semi was" thing. I doubt Tesla engineers had trained the model to recognize an overturned semi truck. This is why it would probably be helpful for them to be smart and instead of using a huge 3D LiDAR system like other manufacturers, just replacing the radar with a unidirectional 2D LiDAR sensor, similar to what newer Roombas use. Then it could've seen that there was a large stationary object directly in front of the car and braked, without having an ugly thing on top of the car.

People have even both been fired and quit over it.

[@Churbas]

@@breckercanfield9957 NDA'ed, sorry. But if you want to put pieces together yourself, consider five things - Genuine SD experts and researchers, barring a small few outliers, pretty universally agree that LIDAR is needed for safe SD implementations at this time. Elon has very publically rubbished LIDAR on a number of occasions, for example claiming anyone using it is "Doomed" in April 2019, though his comments go back a lot further, easy enough to find those. Elon has also talked - bragged, really - about how involved he is with designing tesla products, and this is backed up by numerous accounts from employees, ex-employees and leakers about his micromanaging style, it's well known that if he says no, it doesn't go. And finally, Their SD team has an odd amount of turnover - not alarmingly high, but odd - and there's numerous leaker accounts of Elon firing people arbitrarily because they disagree with him.

[@tonespeaks]

Tesla wouldn't drive into wall, it has front facing radar. As for Elon and Tesla Engineers, it was Mobileye (Intel) that created the FSD camera concept. As for LIDAR, it has a lot of limitations and is really only used on premapped high resolution roads. Lidar system don't really think for themselves and since most conditions are constantly changing, LIDAR has a hard time adapting. One of the other big issues about using Lidar, is power consumption. Lidar maybe good for ICE Cars, but they would eat a lot of range in BEVs. One of the biggest issues, is costs. Lidar costs about 10 -20k, cameras about $50-100, Lidar doesn't work so well in rain, fog and etc, but Costs is the biggest factor. Getting back to the Accident in this video, Tesla has all the data and but is prevented from releasing, unless the Owner gives the OK. Maybe the Driver doesn't want it released as long to hide his mistake, but the truth is well known....it's just a matter of time before we all find out. So far in most of these cases, it has been driver error that was at fault. The Truck was overturned in the lane for a long time before the car hit it.

[@oldrrocr]

I like that the driver of the truck is just standing in the highway, doesn't wave down the Tesla, but that the Tesla doesn't hit the brakes until it PASSES the pedestrian in the lane... but now my Tesla hits the brakes hard anytime it detects an oncoming car in ANOTHER lane. brilliant!

[@0Freguenedy0]

@@calimio6 above human level driving? Don't think that's their goal, maybe their marketing. A person would have seen that truck easily,for example. The problem is that humans make mistakes or lose attention. Cars still can't drive as a person and probably never will. What they actually want is for it to be safe and predictable, a self driving car won't win a race against a race driver or avoid some specific accidents a human would, humans will still be better than self-driving. Again, the problem comes that statistically humans fail and some are idiots.

Linux primary rely on keyboard press timings, mouse movement, and some controller timings (like IDE/SATA etc.) and those results are often given beyond practical accuracy. The primary diffrence in case of Tesla AI and human brain is that AI is trained for just specific situation and nothing more. Eg. Imagine you have a sheets of papers with handwritten numbers 0-9. And you teach AI to recognize those numbers. It will work great. Problem comes the moment someone comes and writes "A". Then someone else comes and writes chinese character. AI will forcefully try to choose a number from 0-9 while human reading it will say "hold on something is wrong". The Tesla AI did see object in front but couldn't properly notice something is wrong and didn't try to slow down like human would.

I did some research on this previously after I had seen it on another youtube channel. The theory that makes sense to me is that the cameras confused the white roof of the overturned trailer with the white of the sky behind it. There have not been a lot of deaths with Teslas in autopilot mode, but the very first one in 2016 (Joshua Brown) was a similar case. A white semi truck was making a turn right in front of a Tesla model S. The Tesla did not see this white trailer possibly because again it was confusing the large white surface on the horizon with the sky and it drove right under the trailer, shearing off the roof and killing the driver. This happened again in 2019 with a model 3. The Tesla drove under a white trailer and decapitated the driver. In all of these cases the drivers obviously had become too comfortable with their Tesla's in autopilot mode, I mean who would blame them....it had worked for hours and hours of driving before. Complacency and inexperience takes lives everyday on our highways. Everyday I see people tailgating each other on the freeway, never expecting a car up front needing to come to an emergency stop and bam...you get a 5 car pile up.

Something to note: LiDAR has a crucial weakness in that on really hot days the road can heat up the air enough to make it refract light. This can then fool the LiDAR sensor, causing unwanted reactions (or lack of wanted reactions). In addition, the same thing can happen with water puddles and other reflective surfaces. You can see how that could be a problem. Elon Musk is correct in that a car relying solely on LiDAR is doomed. However, it is an extra tool in the bag and can help decide when one sensor is feeding the computer bad data.

To all those who think sensor-based driving is 'better' and/or 'safer' than a human driver.... A while back there was an incident in a bike race. The car that was pacing/filming the race, and hence had the peloton draughting behind it, had the CEO of one of the main sponsors on board, who insisted on bringing his kid for the experience. The car was one with 'emergency assist' that is supposed to help prevent collisions by sensing danger and immediately applying a countermeasure - for example slamming on the anchors if an object (presumably a car or person) suddenly appears in front of it. All seemed fine - until the kid started waving flags out of the sunroof. The sensors on the roof saw the flag, and interpreted it as an obstacle right in front, hence it slammed on. As a result, the peloton smashed into the pace car, and several of them broke bones. The passengers in the car (including the kid) all suffered neck injuries.

I work for a major automotive supplier in a radar department. 80% of what donut said here is either incomplete or incorrect about radars. Should have done their lessons more on this one. But to cut a long story short, radars are calibrated. They are not supposed to look mindlessly into the air. Take a look at radar guided cruise control and then I don't think you will see any type of accidents like this. So no a radar will NOT mistake an overhang with a truck. Especially 77Ghz models. Except a gross mistake on the development side. Static objects are an issue if the vehicle is stationary. 77Ghz models can easily make distinctions between bikes, trucks, shopping trollies etc. They do have their limitations that is why a progression to lidar + cameras is necessary.

The model 3 whipped us around the tight roundabout at exactly 30mph and my buddy took control back from the autopilot milliseconds before it sent us out of the road and on to the sidewalk. 😂 impressive traction from the car but holy moly, that, combined with other questionable decisions from the autopilot that night caused me to always avoid teslas on the road cause you never know if they’re on autopilot or not lol

not only does that bs endanger the moron people in the car it endangers everyone else on the road and shud b illegal and banned

Does anyone see that there's a person standing in the middle of the lane trying to stop them?

[@quined6421]

wow youre really observant

[@theshunt545]

Seen it, yes, obviously the tesla don't :)

@@theshunt545 Well there is a experiment on Car in-build collision avoidance system by independent company sometimes ago. And one of which is a Tesla Model 3 facing againts pedestrian. Rather than stopping, it's just continue to drive like nothing happened. Even Honda CRV sensor works slightly better when it hits the pedestrian and stop, rather than crashing into it and drive on

[@theshunt545]

@@ivanbima5877 My position is against self driving, to be more clear. I thought human disposition used for driving will be hard to mimic, and counter productive in term of energy (for Datacenter involved) that will follow.

[@GoodForAllPaul]

@@theshunt545 The tesla actually did see it, hence the sudden breaking and puff of dust on the road when passing the pedestrian. but as the human was stationary and the car never hit it the auto breaking ceased. I have had this happen on my Model X with a bicycle once.

Would LIDAR have avoided the accident: Yes. Always put more sensors on than you need even if you think you don't need to, I'm sure boeing can attest.

[@DL30Creations]

Wouldn't staying AWAKE and actually DRIVING have avoided the accident too?

[@sabre0smile]

@@DL30Creations falling asleep isn't a design fault on the part of the car!

[@DL30Creations]

I am not putting any blame on the car it is all human error to fully trust technology to that extreme. Watch the original Total Recall and see how the Johnny Cab worked out there for a laugh, but in the real world use common sense when in a vehicle.

[@PlaidZoomer]

You won’t even be able to drive there in a car with lidar. Those cars are very limited where they can go

[@mimicnutria18]

Ok hear me out maybe instead of using "auto pilot" just drive the car yourself? Crazy I know!

Allowing a computer to have full control of your car is like allowing a toddler to have a loaded gun.
