This is only news because it’s an AI car. Were it a human, it would be a youtube video with a title “stupid drivers”. Nobody would be calling to “regulate human drivers” or “ban all human drivers from driving cars”.
Considering the source, this is only news because it’s not a Tesla.
Also once an AI car is taught it will never do this again . Human drivers will keep on doing this.
The driverless car will plow into cement willingly, as long as it’s a slightly different shade of grey. The human will be distracted by the orange man waving the sign and think “what are the chances I drive into cement again?”
The only way to fix this is to fine the driverless car company every time. Hold them liable and take away their license. Suspend the driverless car program every time something bad happens. Those VC morons will fix every issue in like 2 weeks.
We’re going to see driverless cars failing all sorts of edge cases for decades…

You could even take a page from The Boring Company and… put that tracked contraption in a tunnel! We’re on to something here.
No news on whether or not the construction zone was properly cordoned off, of course. It’s not like we haven’t seen plenty of people do this.
Did human drivers get stuck in the same concrete? Or did they manage to avoid it.
In the cases where there are no AI cars but humans getting stuck in the concrete does that mean we should ban all humans from driving cars?
The FuckCars crowd:
Are human drivers getting stuck in concrete?

How human of them.

That looks like a badly secured construction zone to me. Stuff like this certainly happens to human drivers.
The whole point is being better than a human and they’re demonstrably not.
they’re demonstrably not
Wait… how did you arrive at this conclusion? Humans do this kind of thing all the time, too. You’d have to know the relative rates of accidents and mishaps to say with any confidence that they’re “demonstrably” not better than humans.
Why look at overall statistics when you can cherry pick single instances to prove your point. /s
well, they should have posted a link to the Cruise Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_(autonomous_vehicle) because what I read from regulation and incidents proves his point. The city requesting no expansion to permits, 39 incidents between January and June 2023 blocking fire department operations alone. And that is just within their limited time permits.
I knew this shit would happen… Elon pushes his shitty “self driving” cars that are years behind the others, and people are now conflating that garbage with high-end, well researched and tested self-driving vehicles.
Most of these alternatives do amazingly well. No idea on this one, though, admittedly. I’ve never heard of it.
I would love to know who’s going to pay for that in the end!
Taxpayer
Do they have any in San Francisco?
No. They have no taxpayers in one of the most expensive cities to live in in the country. Not a single taxpayer.
Hundreds of thousands
Of extremely well paid experts in their fields.

…which brings us to the good old question: who is the driver of a driverless car?
