Cartoon Prank Crashes Tesla

The two vehicles are driven at a wall painted to resemble the road continuing ahead—an optical illusion, of sorts, familiar to anyone who grew up watching cartoons on Saturday mornings. Even the human eye can detect the ruse...

Can't believe they did not include radar or lidar as part of the sensor array.

Been a fan of Mark Rober. Try to watch his squirrel maze.

Not a big deal coz I wouldn't trust any kind of FSD on our roads anyway. Yung AEB nga ng Alphard lakas mag brake whenever a motorcycle cuts across you.

Plus ADAS features on newer cars are starting to default on with every start.

In one of Jay Leno’s vlogs, he invited Tesla’s design engineers and raised the same question.

In laymen’s terms, Lidar/radar is akin to a blind man feeling his way around, the best systems could make them like Daredevil.

Human eyes, full all around vision, a smart brain gives you better situational awareness than the best sensors. That’s what Tesla is trying to replicate - human vision + brains (AI).

The Tesla car now is basically a robot on wheels.

IMO it's a cost cutting measure and they are hoping that their continued work on the camera side of things will make up for the reduced hardware capabilities otherwise they wouldn't have reintroduced radar in the more expensive Model S/X but not the cheaper Y/3 with the HW4.0 MCU revision if a camera-only setup is indeed better than having radar.

Humans could and do make use additional sensors to augment existing "equipment" to one's advantage. Night time flights would be suspended at the first sign of clouds if pilots would solely rely on their vision.

I agree that it's likely a cost cutting measure.

If you think about it though, how many times will one encounter a Wile E. Coyote type wall in real life?

Maganda din may supplement na sensors in case may ulan, fog, or bright lights.

One thing's for sure, he got a lot of backlash from that video.

Just to add - human vision + brains and intuition.
