A good example of predictive AI from the Waymo... Driver: in a split second, it predicted an initial crash of human-driven cars in the next lane, anticipated a secondary collision, and proactively shifted lanes — all while managing its distance from the vehicles around it.show more

Tesla FSD 14.3.3 just saved me from a potential... side-swipe collision — again. Watch this: I’m cruising in the right lane at ~45 mph when the green station wagon on my left suddenly drifts over, cutting sharply into my lane and toward the shoulder. FSD spots the intrusion instantly, smoothly steers right to create maximum safe distance, and progressively slows us down while keeping everything controlled. This is exactly why FSD’s multi-camera 360° vision is such a game-changer. It sees threats from every angle faster and more reliably than a human driver possibly could, especially in these split-second “what the heck is this guy doing?” moments. Grateful for the extra layer of safety. FSD continues to impress. 👏 Tesla AIshow more

Speed matters. A Waymo vehicle was driving in a... 25mph zone in LA when an oncoming car swerved into our lane while speeding up to over 70mph… 3x the speed means 9x the destructive energy. Good to see the Waymo Driver react early and safely to make room.show more

The company that built the car sitting next to... that Waymo, the Tesla, is exactly why Waymo’s business won’t survive in the long run. You can’t compete with a company that builds its own cars from the ground up, its own AI, its own chips, its own charging network, and has real-world data from millions of vehicles with the greatest entrepreneur our of our time at the helm. I bet people will be looking back at this moment in history and say that I was right.show more

Bronx: East 136th Street & Bruckner Blvd, a serious... multi-vehicle crash involving three commercial trucks left one driver critically injured Tuesday morning, prompting a large FDNY rescue response. Just before 11:30 a.m., the #FDNY and officers from the NYPD 40th Precinct responded to the scene after reports of a collision. According to a preliminary investigation, a truck operated by a 64-year-old man was traveling northbound in the right lane of Bruckner Boulevard when it rear-ended a second truck driven by a 48-year-old man. The force of the impact pushed the second truck into a third truck that had been stopped at a red light, operated by a 46-year-old man. The crash left the first truck severely damaged, trapping the 64-year-old driver inside the cab. FDNY firefighters used hydraulic rescue tools to extricate him as EMS staged nearby. The injured driver was transported to Lincoln Hospital in serious condition. The operators of the second and third trucks were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries.show more

Suppose two cars are traveling on an expressway at... 100 km/h with a 50-meter gap. If the front car slams on its brakes, it takes about 3.5 seconds and nearly 50 meters to stop. If the driver behind does nothing, a collision occurs in exactly 3.5 seconds. This gives the rear driver a 3.5-second window to avoid a crash. For an alert driver, 1 second is reaction time, leaving 2.5 seconds to brake and stop safely. Now, consider the same 50-meter gap, but the front car is reversing at 10 km/h. For the car approaching from behind at 100 km/h, the closing speed skyrockets to 110 km/h, slashing the time before collision to just 1.6 seconds. In reality, it is even worse: because drivers never expect a vehicle to reverse on an expressway, their brains freeze. Reaction time jumps from 1 second to 2, 3, or more. At high speeds, drivers often crash before even realizing they need to brake. That's why reversing on an expressway is hundred times more dangerous than a sudden braking. A maneuver that feels slow to the reversing driver creates an unexpectedly violent closing speed for those behind, leaving virtually no time to react. In the video, a family of seven missed their exit on the Dehradun expressway to Haridwar. They reversed, were struck from behind, and four of them died.show more

WOW v14.3.2 is very decisive and is able to... execute with great confidence. Big fan. That said, in my first drive it messed up *spectacularly* twice in <15 miles of suburban driving. In one instance, it swerved out of its through lane of traffic into a lane that was ending, right as it was ending. It was not trying to overtake any vehicles, it just swerved over violently. ugh The other, in the video below, it did not consider that the left lane was turn-only, and tried to use it overtake other vehicles while their light was red. (this intersection begins with left turn green and through-lanes red) It is still very slow to merge into the proper lane in time for a turn, and ended up cutting off a large truck to make its turn. Could it have completed its maneuvers and continued without intervention? Yes. Would it be safe or legal to do so? No. Plenty of work left to do on FSD.show more

I’ve noticed a new behavior in FSD version 14.2.2.2:... when approaching an intersection from a single dedicated left-turn lane, the car occasionally completes the turn into the second lane from the left rather than the leftmost lane, which is what most drivers typically do. Interestingly it is legal to do so in California.show more
