I guess credit is due, but with a basic understanding of the technology, I would be surprised if it did stop. Seems like a very set up and timed thing he's done just as a fuck you to Elon.
Which Elon deserves, he's a fucking flog. I just didn't think the video was that impressive.
One of the tests from that video, the Tesla passed and I was honestly surprised it could. Can't remember if it was heavy fog or bright oncoming lights.
Either way, yeah, LIDAR is far more capable and beat the Tesla in every test. Incredibly foolish to go camera-only but hey, that's Elon.
It was the lights test.
In the fog test, it plowed through the mannequin kid (and in real life, they've been observed plowing through deer).
Well the set up is "Some rich fucker was idiot enough to dictate his company should not install LIDAR, no matter how strictly superior it'd be to do so".
So I dunno. We could ask Melon Husk why he set that up, but I doubt he'll reply. All Mark Robers did is observe the effect of the setup of Edolf Muskler. You're right of course in so far that there's not much to the video then, and I faintly remember there was a case a lot of years ago where a Tesla drove into a sky-blue truck because coming up on a crest it expected to only see hill, which matched the color of said truck.
Okay
It's certainly possible, although harder. Parallax effects should be visible in a real road, which it wouldn't be in a painting of a road.
But it doesn't track how the image changes as it moves, so Teslas can't catch that.
