#73At least for me there was nothing indicating there is not enough clearance.

#74I got my first Tesla last year and my first trip with FSD was just after the launch of V13, so I could not compare it to earlier versions. But I was shocked by how good it was. I completed a 800 miles trip with a handful of interventions, most or all of them likely unnecessary. Even with rain the system worked well. I don’t understand how the system was not able to see this obstacle and slow down or change lanes. Did…

Well, I have to admit that your friend has a point. Humans are bad at reacting quickly and correctly to unexpected situations, and some debris large enough to damage your car showing up from out of nowhere after several hours of boring driving along a largely straight highway with little traffic is definitely one of these situations. But a self-driving system worth its salt should always be alert, scanning the road a…
The humans in the vehicle spotted it fine, and we should not tolerate self-driving systems that are only as good as the worst of us.
The person you replied to didn't do that, though:
> But a self-driving system worth its salt should always be alert, scanning the road ahead, able to identify dangerous debris, and react accordingly. So, different pair of shoes...

#76What is the point of "testing" something that everyone knows doesn't work and only exists because a serial liar said so? If Musk says you will survive a fall from a 90-stories high-rise... don't test it.
You shouldn’t take pills a stranger gives you at a music festival without checking them for loads of things, for example. Even if you don’t ever intend on consuming them it’s nice to have specific accusations with evidence.

#77It's so clear, dry, perfect lighting, no traffic or anything. That's shocking.
The debris is pretty close to the color of the road. Seems like a good case for radar/lidar ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The debris? The very visible piece of debris? The piece of debris that a third party camera inside the car did in fact see? Adding 2 radars and 5 LIDARs would totally solve that!
For fuck's sake, I am tired of this worn out argument. The bottleneck of self-driving isn't sensors. It was never sensors. The bottleneck of self-drivng always was, and still is: AI.
Every time a self-driving car crashes due to a self-driving fault, you pull the blackbox, and what do you see? The sensors received all the data they needed to make the right call. The system had enough time to make the right call. The system did not make the right call. The issue is always AI.

#78A lot of apologists say that "a human would have hit that". That's kind of irrelevant, this technology is meant to be safer and held to a higher standard. Comparing to a human is not a valid excuse...

#79Tangentially - If you as a European happen to drive on US highways, you will noticed that they are heavily littered with fallen cargo, aluminum ladders, huge amount of shredded tires and occasionally a trailer without a towing car... It has been so bizarre for me to observe this. Nobody is cleaning that?
Have you compared distances?
