I was just watching a youtube video with humans literally walking into murals this same way.

Elon Musk is a nazi.
Someone with a better singing voice than me needs to remix this classic.
This is from Mark Robers YouTube Channel.
Credit where credit is due.
Mark Robers is fucking awesome, btw. He does all sorts of fun STEM things and keeps it interesting for kids and adults.
I also like how this particular video pissed off Tesla AND Disney.
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.
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
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).

People are arguing about autopilot being disabled during the drive, but even if it was, the emergency braking system should tried to do something.
Autopilot literally switched ITSELF off less than half a second from the moment of impact. it didn't try to stop the car, it just shut itself off so it couldn't be blamed.
Imagine if someone whipped throwing knives at your back and then tried to argue "but your honor I was not holding any knives at the time of the stabbing"
Fuck Tesla, fuck Elon, fuck every simp who shits excuses out their mouths for him
(I mean, not YOU, you aren't doing any of those things; I'm just saying, those people. In general.)
It's like a pilot bailing out of a plane and then claiming he was not responsible for the crash because he was in Vegas at the time the plane crashed.

Mark did an interview with Philip Defranco and posted raw footage showing/explaining that Autopilot turned itself off instead of hitting the brakes.
They also did two takes, it did the same thing both times. The first time, they just used a poster instead of a full foam wall. They decided to add the foam for a better visual once they realized it would just happily plow through it.
Finally there's some argument of Autopilot vs FSD; but both rely on the same cameras and should have at least tried to brake. The LIDAR car braked and it was just using emergency braking, no self driving at all.
It shows they didn't even watch the video. The only reason Mark used autopilot was because without it the car failed the simplest test.
The test was with a kid being in the middle of the street and Tesla didn't even stop in time.
It shows they didn't even watch the video.
Of course they didn't. Musk fanboys are an echo chamber of morons worshipping a Nazi oligarch. They're quick to react, and they dismiss evidence and facts if it doesn't suit their narrative.
I watched some Tesla-sympathetic youtuber for balance and here are the key points brought up:
-
He had a death grip on the wheel (because y'know, he knew he was going to crash). Exerting enough force over time on the steering wheel disables autopilot, because the system assumes you want to manually override what it's doing.
-
FSD apparently is much more capable, but this Tesla only had the common AutoPilot turned on. Despite having FSD available (Mark apparently claimed he didn't know he could turn it on without adding a destination)
-
Mark might have some sort of sponsorship deal with the LIDAR company featured in the video, which is why LIDAR was shown in a much better light (e.g it was shown stopping for a dummy behind the water spray, but in reality a LIDAR based system would just brake for the water spray itself)
Now all of those might be true, but you're also correct in that the emergency braking system should be operational even when AP is disabled. Unless the system malfunctioned (just having a dirty camera is enough). I know my Subaru throws out the adaptive cruise ALL the time. Stupid camera based system. You'd think it's better off because the cameras are at the top of the windshield, compared to most cars front grille mounted radars, but nah, it just keeps turning off.
They are free to peer review the test and do it with all the stuff enabled.
That is how science works.
But I doubt they will, since this is an inherent problem with using camera vision only. Not with the software of the car. And they most likely know it.

Why would it? It sees a road in front of itself, the whole car is built + programmed to go by what it sees, as an image.
The car is doing exactly what it is built to do. It just so happens that "safety of road traffic" is not among the things it is built for, and explicitly so.
I think it's a good example of how vastly over hyped a lot of AI stuff is though. Any person could tell that that was a wall from hundreds of feet away. You can even tell in the video and it would be more obvious in real life with actual depth perception.
The entire problem with AI are corner cases. This is just taking that corner case to an absurd level. But it's not much different than the real world case of a Tesla vehicle getting confused on a highway if a billboard ad has a stop sign on it.

I love that they had pre-cut the styrofoam wall in a cartoony hole shape because they knew it was going to happen.
From following video with raw footage they initially used a poster, but seeing that Tesla would just plow through it they built the styrofoam wall for a better effect.

I see an opportunity to target Teslas exclusively
Dunno man, I don't want to risk the lives of those in normal cars. Just one bad day on an overworked guy at night and you'll have the same issue.
AP aside, worst car manufacturer.
Also, the owner is a Nazi.
You know, with how distracted your average Tesla driver is, I'm pretty sure this would trick them even with them "driving" with AP on.

FSD was promised but never delivered because they need lidar for rain/snow/etc weather.
The FSD promise was mostly just market manipulation. Sure they might actually get it done at some point. But the time line they proposed was just a scam. And it worked seeing the market cap.
