Contrast this to my wife, who won't even use cruise control....

Or my wife who doesn't know what it is.
Her car has it, but it has oil as well and ...you get the point.

As for self driving vehicles - fuck that. I've spent most of my life being transported by automation and it is seriously boring (interspersed with moments of sheer terror). I prefer the risk of the moron in front of you doing something idiotic and having to deal with it. We need some excitement in life.

Tesla's Latest Autopilot Demo Shows Us What A Model S 'Sees' In Real Time - BGR

Tesla over the weekend released a pair of videos which demonstrate, in real time, what the company's Autopilot software 'sees' when it's driving without any…

That car seemed to stop.. alot.

Also.. they seemed to be really tidy with the roadside trimming of trees in that locality...

I do wonder how it allows for road works and the adjusted speed limits. Every now and then I will see works and they with have 30kph on one side of road and 50kph on the other in error.

I totally rammed up the back of if when it stopped for those runners on the footpath.

Software reads road signs.

That.Is.Awesome! You could totally stitch up the cars with fake signs!

I do wonder how it would cope with incorrectly sorted signs like in my previous post. I assume it would just take the lower limit.

Software reads road signs.

Also: use Google Maps to run a route and you'll see where it has roadworks noted. It is constantly feeding data about changed traffic conditions, which you get as part of the estimated time of travel.

Once these start to get traction there is going to be such a loading on your insurance premium if you want to drive your car that most people won't bother

[Crucial]

None of those examples show the critical need to slow down slightly to get a better look at the hot chick out for a jog.
Put that in your AI and you have a winner.

The car is fucking loaded with cameras. So you can take that vision home.

Just reading about a Tesla Model X in the Netherlands which predicted a crash ahead of the vehicle nearly a second before it happened.

Article with the deets is here BUT it has some dodgy "YOU JUST WON!" links on it:

Tesla Autopilot's new radar technology predicts an accident caught on dashcam a second later

Just a few weeks ago, we published a report about how Tesla’s new radar technology for the Autopilot is already...

So if you don't want that stupid shit, here is the short version of the video recorded from the owner's TV playback of dashcam, by the looks:

Note the beeping just before impact. The new update to the Tesla software allows the radar to look beyond the vehicle in front. In this case probably saw the sudden deceleration of the black car before the purple car did, as he was looking to change lanes.

I thought that was really rubbish as not once did I look at gender or age or 'fitness' of victims, yet a lot of the results showed what I chose even though the thought process left Gender etc out

@Hooroo I'm a pet killer!

[Rembrandt]

Turns out I like upholding the law and saving fat people

[Hooroo]

I looked after myself as the driver in every case and then decided what I should kill instead of me

[NTA]

The safety of the car should save occupants in almost every case. So I always took the crash barrier where offered.

[Rembrandt]

@NTA That was my thought as well, avoid innocent bystanders at all costs. Non-innocents include those crossing on a red and those driving in an autonomous car that clearly hasn't had its brakes serviced recently.
