Because they are not THAT good. And probably never will be because they

I think that they easily ought to manage it for motorway & country road
driving (with a fall back to the driver during congestion). It's in town
where they may struggle.

Unfortunately, it's the self driving in town that is the use case that makes
most sense from a social pov.

Having a car which I can set to autopilot on the motorway is a nice to have,
it isn't a game changer - except perhaps for trucks.

There's no reason a computer can't do the simple operation of driving a car. For goodness sake even some women manage it (just).

False statement it's not the camera that drives the car.


I didn't say it was. The camera is equivalent to our eyes. Nobody can look in all directions at once.

In the recent self drive car 'accident'

According to the NTSB report, the Uber vehicle struggled to identify Elaine Herzberg as she wheeled her bicycle across a four-lane road. Although it was dark, the cars radar and LIDAR detected her six seconds before the crash. But the perception system got confused: it classified her as an unknown object, then as a vehicle and finally as a bicycle, whose path it could not predict. Just 1.3 seconds before impact, the self-driving system realised that emergency braking was needed. But the cars built-in emergency braking system had been disabled, to prevent conflict with the self-driving system; instead a human safety operator in the vehicle is expected to brake when needed. But the safety operator, who had been looking down at the self-driving systems display screen, failed to brake in time. Ms Herzberg was hit by the vehicle and subsequently died of her injuries.


Humans crash into bicycles too, they shouldn't be allowed on the same piece of tarmac as real vehicles. They wobble about and go far too slowly.. They have no indicators, no brake lights, nothing.

Even you should have notice that the lane markings
are a bit hard to see thru the snow, and even the
edge of the road when the snow is deep enough.

I actually taught one to drive and she did
rather better than her husband who I also
taught to drive at the same time.

Her problem is lack of confidence.

No, they get 20 times less ****ups.

The California DMV said it has received it has received 95
autonomous vehicle collision reports as of August 31. Dozens of
companies have received permits to test self-driving vehicles on
California roads, but those permits require the presence of a human safety driver.

Just how amny of these atomomous cars are there a few dozen
comparded to....

You say 95 collisions with autonomous vehicles, but you don't say
how many manually driven cars have had collisions.

Because it's such a small sample, we don't narrow down the number
of manual collisons of 100 or so cars and that is why there are so
many more collisins with manual cars because we count the cars in
millions NOT dozens.
What's needed is a rate of accidents a figure they will not give out.

I've seen it, and it's 20 times larger for human driver than automated cars.

Then yuo should be able to cite it then shouldn't you ?
Presenntly there are NO automated cars, anyway and the cars that are
used as driverless aren't tested amonst real road users they just go
round and around on test tracks, no wonder they don't have accidents..

Because they are not THAT good.


So humans are still better at driving cars than humans, that is the point.


Are you drunk again? Rewrite that sentence.

They will once they use a simialr system to planes were everyone is tracked and the information is shared between vehicals.
At the moment so called driverless cars are little more than tailgaters do relying on only on the immediate surroundings (which they get wrong) or just the car in front, humans have the ability to do more cars presetly don't.


Bull****. Autonomous cars see several cars in front, behind, etc. And all at once, which humans can't do as we can only see in one direction.

Nothing wronfg humans are humans they are all difernt even if only slightl;y so have one faulty human driver isnlt such a dig deal like yourself who can't see a deer in front of them and can't stop in time isnt such a big deal but when you have 100,000s of them and none for them cane yuo end up with serious problems it;s why you have to have recalls for faulty products.
With humans you remove their driving license if they can't drive properly and it;s not big deal except for teh person who has their license removed do that to 100,000 cars in a day and you have problems.


Computerised cars can easily be updated with better programs, you can't do that with humans.

behind, etc. And all at once, which humans can't do as we can only see in one direction.


total crap humans turn their heads too, depending on what they see as a danger or important info.


But a computerised car can see all directions AT ONCE. There is no way for a human to do that.

This si why the uber car couldn;t break in time it had 6 seconds to hit the brakes but didn't most himans have a thinking time far less than 6 seconds even you could manged that I assume or am I being too generous..


I think the average is 300ms, and when I did a test I was well under that.

Because they are not THAT good. And probably never will be because they

I think that they easily ought to manage it for motorway & country road
driving (with a fall back to the driver during congestion). It's in town
where they may struggle.

Unfortunately, it's the self driving in town that is the use case that
makes
most sense from a social pov.

Having a car which I can set to autopilot on the motorway is a nice to
have,
it isn't a game changer - except perhaps for trucks.

There's no reason a computer can't do the simple operation of driving a
car.

There is when the sensors arent economically viable like
when the road is under water or covered with snow.


Why could a camera not cope with snow?


It's difficult seeing through snow, it sort of optically opaque.


No harder than for a human.

For goodness sake even some women manage it (just).

A likely story.


Have you ever seen a Sheila try to drive?


Is yuor middle name Sheila, yuo couldn;t even avoid hitting a bloody deer and most deers aren't that small but you can't see them it seems.


It crossed the road without looking. I had right of way.

Even you should have notice that the lane markings
are a bit hard to see thru the snow, and even the
edge of the road when the snow is deep enough.

You say 95 collisions with autonomous vehicles, but you don't say
how many manually driven cars have had collisions.

Because it's such a small sample, we don't narrow down the number
of manual collisons of 100 or so cars and that is why there are so
many more collisins with manual cars because we count the cars in

What's needed is a rate of accidents a figure they will not give out.

Presenntly there are NO automated cars, anyway and the cars that are

Because they are not THAT good.

So humans are still better at driving cars than humans, that is the point.

With humans you remove their driving license if they can't drive properly and it;s not big deal except for teh person who has their license removed do that to 100,000 cars in a day and you have problems.

total crap humans turn their heads too, depending on what they see as
a danger or important info.

But a computerised car can see all directions AT ONCE. There is no way
for a human to do that.


total crap responce from someone that doesn't understand either humans or
technology used in driverless cars.


The cameras point all directions at once, your eyes don't, simple fact.

This si why the uber car couldn;t break in time it had 6 seconds to
hit the brakes but didn't most himans have a thinking time far less
than 6 seconds even you could manged that I assume or am I being too
generous.

I think the average is 300ms, and when I did a test I was well under
that.


the 100ms is the fastest and was measure using sprinters like usain bolts
reaction time to the start gun.


I'm 150ms.

which incidently using sound which while sound travels faster than light
humans react faster to sound than light otherwoise they;d use lights to
statr 100 metre races, but human take longer to process a light signal
than a sound signal.


I don't believe you. More likely it means they don't have to be looking
at a particular spot, plus all the spectators know when they're told to
go.

Humans have a responce time of around 0.1s which is about the
fastest, which is how they decide if 100M sprint runners leave the
blocks before the pistol has fired by timing their response to the
sound.

Which is why some get done for false starts when they didn't, because
some are faster than they thought.


No they try predict when the gun will go off.


They changed the time after they discovered some were faster than they
thought possible.

And how the **** could you predict it, easy enough to make it totally
random.

No, they get 20 times less ****ups.

The California DMV said it has received it has received 95

companies have received permits to test self-driving vehicles on
California roads, but those permits require the presence of a human safety driver.

Just how amny of these atomomous cars are there a few dozen

You say 95 collisions with autonomous vehicles, but you don't say
how many manually driven cars have had collisions.

Because it's such a small sample, we don't narrow down the number
of manual collisons of 100 or so cars and that is why there are so
many more collisins with manual cars because we count the cars in
millions NOT dozens.
What's needed is a rate of accidents a figure they will not give out.

I've seen it, and it's 20 times larger for human driver than automated cars.

Then yuo should be able to cite it then shouldn't you ?
Presenntly there are NO automated cars, anyway and the cars that are
used as driverless aren't tested amonst real road users they just go
round and around on test tracks, no wonder they don't have accidents.

But if they are so good why do they require a human at the wheel ?

Because they are not THAT good.

So humans are still better at driving cars than humans, that is the point.

Are you drunk again? Rewrite that sentence.

Nothing wronfg humans are humans they are all difernt even if only slightl;y so have one faulty human driver isnlt such a dig deal like yourself who can't see a deer in front of them and can't stop in time isnt such a big deal but when you have 100,000s of them and none for them cane yuo end up with serious problems it;s why you have to have recalls for faulty products.
With humans you remove their driving license if they can't drive properly and it;s not big deal except for teh person who has their license removed do that to 100,000 cars in a day and you have problems.

Computerised cars can easily be updated with better programs, you can't do that with humans.


Yes you can it's called training.


Not as easy as updating the software in every computer.


But that won;t work it's the semsors and hardware that will need updating.
It's like phone Apple haven't just upgraded the software for their iPhone3GS
so it's compatable with face recognition and everything else have they.
So you wouldn't be able to do that with cars either.



just software that might need changing, but then nyou;'d have to understand the technologies involved rather thsan just assume they work by magic.

of course if you can't tell a real car from a fake wooden one ?,
Could you tell the differnce between a faked wooden car and the real thing ?


People make mistake...


The person saw the car, the co puter in the car didn't.
People are still better at driving cars than cars driving themselve, and that is why currently all driverc assisted cars come with a steering wheel and pedals otherwise why put them in the car just to waste money, to take up an extra seat, to make the cars heavier and less efficient ?

Just saw an article in the BBC RSS feed which points out that
one of the real downsides with that approach of supposedly
having the human checking how the computer is driving is
that many humans will just doze off or read a book etc
when the computer is doing all the work and it will be
interesting to see how real the supervision actually is.

back of the car its driving because of how it
drives.

And of course human drivers never **** up like
this....

Which is why people don't want to spend Ł1000s on a
self
driving car that ****s up or kills them, they can
have
that


No, they get 20 times less ****ups.

The California DMV said it has received it has
received
95
autonomous vehicle collision reports as of August 31.
Dozens of
companies have received permits to test self-driving
vehicles on
California roads, but those permits require the
presence
of a human safety driver.

Just how amny of these atomomous cars are there a few
dozen
comparded to....

You say 95 collisions with autonomous vehicles, but you
don't say
how many manually driven cars have had collisions.

Because it's such a small sample, we don't narrow down
the
number
of manual collisons of 100 or so cars and that is why
there
are so
many more collisins with manual cars because we count the
cars in
millions NOT dozens.
What's needed is a rate of accidents a figure they will
not
give out.

I've seen it, and it's 20 times larger for human driver
than
automated cars.

Then yuo should be able to cite it then shouldn't you ?
Presenntly there are NO automated cars, anyway and the cars
that are
used as driverless aren't tested amonst real road users they
just go
round and around on test tracks, no wonder they don't have
accidents.

But if they are so good why do they require a human at the
wheel ?

Because they are not THAT good.

So humans are still better at driving cars than humans, that is
the point.

Are you drunk again? Rewrite that sentence.

Nothing wronfg humans are humans they are all difernt even if only
slightl;y so have one faulty human driver isnlt such a dig deal
like
yourself who can't see a deer in front of them and can't stop in
time isnt such a big deal but when you have 100,000s of them and
none for them cane yuo end up with serious problems it;s why you
have to have recalls for faulty products.
With humans you remove their driving license if they can't drive
properly and it;s not big deal except for teh person who has their
license removed do that to 100,000 cars in a day and you have
problems.

Computerised cars can easily be updated with better programs, you
can't do that with humans.

Yes you can it's called training.

Not as easy as updating the software in every computer.

But that won;t work it's the semsors and hardware that will need
updating.


Much more likely its what the software that uses those
sensors and hardware that needs the updating.

It's like phone Apple haven't just upgraded the software for their
iPhone3GS


Thats providing more capability. They have in fact radically changed
what the software does as well as improving the sensors and cameras.

so it's compatable with face recognition


It has in fact got a completely new way of looking at the face for that.

and everything else have they. So you wouldn't
be able to do that with cars either.


Even sillier than you usually manage, and thats saying something.

just software that might need changing, but then nyou;'d have to
understand
the technologies involved rather thsan just assume they work by magic.

of course if you can't tell a real car from a fake wooden one ?,
Could you tell the differnce between a faked wooden car and the real
thing ?

People make mistake...

The person saw the car, the co puter in the car didn't.
People are still better at driving cars than cars driving themselve,


Thats very arguable with the routine driving.

and that is why currently all driverc assisted cars come with
a steering wheel and pedals otherwise why put them in the
car just to waste money, to take up an extra seat, to make
the cars heavier and less efficient ?


Just saw an article in the BBC RSS feed which points out that
one of the real downsides with that approach of supposedly
having the human checking how the computer is driving is
that many humans will just doze off or read a book etc
when the computer is doing all the work and it will be
interesting to see how real the supervision actually is.


Think of it like you're teaching someone to drive. Once they get pretty
good at it, you won't be watching their every move.


But you do watch how they handle the more unusual situations
like when there has been an accident and there is lots of congestion
and a real risk of them rubbernecking at the result of the accident
as they drive past it and arent looking where they are going.

That isnt possible when checking on what the self driving
car is up to if you have dozed off because you arent driving.

Gettign a car to drive around in circles or on set routes is pretty easy, I was doing that as a kid with scalectic racing cars.

You have such a small understanding of this it's amazing.
The car drove into the back of another obstruction something that a human would have seen and taken action to avoid, that is what needs fixing.
