I hope some of you actually skimmed the article and got to the "disengaging" part.

As Electrek points out, Autopilot has a well-documented tendency to disengage right before a crash. Regulators have previously found that the advanced driver assistance software shuts off a fraction of a second before making impact.

It's a highly questionable approach that has raised concerns over Tesla trying to evade guilt by automatically turning off any possibly incriminating driver assistance features before a crash.

My 500$ robot vacuum has LiDAR, meanwhile these 50k pieces of shit don't 😂

This has been known.

They do it so they can evade liability for the crash.

Notice how they're mad at the video and not the car, manufacturer, or the CEO. It's a huge safety issue yet they'd rather defend a brand that obviously doesn't even care about their safety. Like, nobody is gonna give you a medal for being loyal to a brand.

I can’t wait for all this brand loyalty and fan people culture to end. Why is this even a thing? Like talking about box office results, companies financials and stocks…. If you’re not an investor of theirs, just stop. It sounds like you’re working for free for them.

Of course it disengages self driving modes before an impact. Why would they want to be liable for absolutely anything?

"Dipshit Nazis mad at facts bursting their bubble is unreality" is another way of reading this headline.

I wondered how the hell it managed to fool LIDAR, well...

The stunt was meant to demonstrate the shortcomings of relying entirely on cameras — rather than the LIDAR and radar systems used by brands and autonomous vehicle makers other than Tesla.

It's a highly questionable approach that has raised concerns over Tesla trying to evade guilt by automatically turning off any possibly incriminating driver assistance features before a crash.

So, who's the YouTuber that's gonna test this out? Since Elmo has pushed his way into the government in order to quash any investigation into it.

Why would a car that expensive not have a LiDAR sensor?

If you get any strong emotions on material shit when someone makes a video...you have 0 of my respect. Period.

E. Lon Musk. Supah. Geenius.

And the president is driving one of these?

Maybe we should be purchasing lots of paint and cement blockades...

Looney Tunes shit.

I saw the video and I have two points:

1. Yes it plays like an infomercial for lidar. So take that portion with some skepticism. I can think of some issues exclusive to lidar like 2+ lidar cars blinding each other which needs to be solved, e.g. some kind of light pattern encoding to mask out unwanted signals.
2. It absolutely 100% demonstrates the issue with camera-only technology in Tesla vehicles.

Teslas used to have cameras + radar but they cheaped out and removed the radar. I think it would have passed all the tests if they still had the front facing radar but they don't. The problem with cameras alone is obvious - they can't see what they can't see and probably don't have an innate sense to slow down if there is rain, fog, ice or whatever else that might cause a human to.

Painted wall? That's high tech shit.

I got a Tesla from my work before Elon went full Reich 3, and try this:

• break on bridge shadows on the highway
• start wipers on shadows, but not on rain
• break on cars parked on the roadside if there's a bend in the road
• disengage autopilot and break when driving towards the sun
• change set speed at highway crossings because fuck the guy behind me, right?
• engage emergency break if a bike waits to cross at the side of the road

To which I'll add:

• moldy frunk (short for fucking trunk, I guess?), no ventilation whatsoever, water comes in, water stays in
• pay attention noises for fuck-all reasons masking my podcasts and forcing me to rewind
• the fucking cabin camera nanny - which I admittedly disabled with some chewing gum
• the worst mp3 player known to man, the original Winamp was light years ahead - won't index, won't search, will reload USB and lose its place with almost every car start
• bonkers UI with no integration with Android or Apple - I'm playing podcasts via low rate Bluetooth codecs, at least it doesn't matter much for voice
• unusable airco in auto mode, insists on blowing cold air in your face

Say what you want about European cars, at least they got usability and integration right. As did most of the auto industry. Fuck Tesla, never again. Bunch of Steve Jobs wannabes.

If you own a tesla or a cybertruck you deserve it.

To be fair, if you were to construct a wall and paint it exactly like the road, people will run into it as well. That being said, tesla shouldn't rely on cameras

Edit: having just watched the video, that was a very obvious fake wall. You can see the outlines of it pretty well. I'm also surprised it failed other tests when not on autopilot, seems pretty fucking dangerous.

I bet the reason why he does not want the LiDAR in the car really cause it looks ugly aestheticly.
