In case you were worried about the roads being too safe, you can rest easily knowing that Teslas will be rolling out with unsupervised "Full Self Driving" in a couple days.

It doesn't seem to be going great, even in supervised mode. This one couldn't safely drive down a simple, perfectly straight road in broad daylight :( Veered off the road for no good reason. Glad nobody got badly hurt.

We analyze the onboard camera footage, and try to figure out what went wrong. Turns out, a lot. We also talk through how camera-only autonomous cars work, Tesla's upcoming autonomous taxi rollout, and how AI hallucinations figure into everything.

no one seems to be questioning why exactly we need self driving cars in the first place. cars are an absolutely horrendous way to handle personal transportation already why add self driving on top of that

(Adam Something voice) Imagine multiple self-driving cars, moving together in a conga line, running every hour of every day, at consistent trains. To allow for consumer freedom, these cars would operate on a "hop-on, hop-off" model, where passengers can get on or off at any one of per-designated stops. For simplicity's sake, and to better manage the strain this would put on the road, these cars would have exclusive "self-driving car chain"-only roads. Since these cars would only ever require basic movement, their inner workings could be streamlined, such as by chaining each car together, and using one "engine car" in front, cutting costs and reducing production time, by removing the need for each car to have a steering mechanism and combustion engine. And if this idea sounds familiar...
