How can it be made so that teslas start crashing into flock cameras?

    Looking around here, "Boys will be boys" extends to their spyware murderbots too I guess.

    I can even kind of understand picking a godlike person to worship at the fartmaker of. But like, people choose lonnie and rump, and that fucking floors me.

    To make these widespread, cities infrastructure will have to be built in ways that are uniform and friendly to AI, which means everywhere will start to look exactly the same and it work be for the aesthetics.

    "Crash" seems hyperbolic, but clearly in the video the driving software choose to push through bollards rather than back up to get out of a prohibited part of the road.

    Really a stretch to call that a crash. How did it get in there, that’s what I’d like to know. Poor road design and controls is likely the culprit here and I’d be surprised if human drivers haven’t done it. Hard to say not seeing the lead up to the little trap area.

    Thanks Elon, definitely "bad road design", at play here. Not the car's fault at all.

    Fuck Elon and all that, but don’t let your hatred blind you to the tech and the problem of autonomous vehicles. Isn’t this the technology community?

    I also didn’t say it wasn’t the cars fault. I said we need to see what lead up to this because it’s really hard to tell what the actual issue is.

    Who would use those Nazitaxis in first place? I guess a lot of people just don't care.

    I'm sure someday Elon's decision to forego LIDAR will pay off. /s

    That was a non-issue. Those are little plastic things it bumped. They’re meant to be hit.

    Car made the tiniest mistake and dude inside is acting like it’s dangerous.

    They are not meant to be hit. They are meant to indicate not to drive there, and not cause damage when hit. They often separate bike lanes and sidewalks in the US. It got itself into a spot a car should not have been, then hit the bollards to get out of it. This is not a small mistake.

    They’re meant to survive hits without causing damage. They bend over. It’s flexible rubber. They do that so people making mistakes don’t cause damage.

    That looked like a turning guide but then ended. I’d have been confused too. I’d have backed out tho!

    Point is, this wasn’t dangerous or damaging. If you consider that not a small mistake, what would a small mistake be?

    Yes, they are meant to survive being hit. I already said that. They are also meant to indicate a no car zone, which it was clearly in. A small mistake would have been a slow speed bump from the side it was supposed to be in and not driving through them
