Didn't intend to call them stupid. My intent was to say they should try out a product that uses the tech before passing judgement on the effectiveness of it. I was hoping the use of "under" would be taken a lot lighter.
Though, self-driving doesn't have to be a 100% scenario item either. It doesn't have to have the ability to activate all the time. It's cloudy/sunny 90%+ of the days where I'm at.
We would get nowhere if the criteria was "must be 100% useful in 100% of scenarios 100% of the time".
Everybody is aware it's not going to be flawless out of the gate, or perhaps ever. That's not the point.
They're saying using cameras and only cameras is a bad idea and makes "Autopilot" inherently subpar in situations where cameras don't work so well.
Sure, but having actually driven one instead of commenting on the internet, the issues that have come up with AP/FSD have seem to be more data related (speed limits causing slowdowns).
When there are vision issues the car complains and it's up to you as the driver to take control. I don't care how many sensors are on/not on the car, if it tells you it can't handle the situation safely, that's now on you as the driver.
Plus, vision-only drivers assist isn’t new and Tesla isn’t the first on the road with it. I’ll let you figure out which particularly popular Japanese brand known for their crossovers 😉
Never go full fanboy... try actually understanding what people are telling you, why fail safes are good idea, why redundancy systems are implemented, etc.
Your anecdotal experience of "I drive in fog and rain and its been good" means nothing...
Hey, I recognize the system has its faults but a number of people simply base opinions on bad faith arguments and articles soliciting clicks.
Radar/lidar isn’t the magic end-all-be-all that internet automotive commenter-engineers claim.
I’m sorry you disagree with what I’m presenting.
