The Tesla didn't cause the 8 car pile-up. The following car(s) are legally responsible for keeping a safe distance at an appropriate speed so as not to hit the car ahead, even if it panic stops. I suspect that if each of the cars following the Tesla were using radar or vision based adaptive cruise control, that they would have succeeded in stopping in time.
This talk on self driving cars is going to age like warm milk 😂 Tesla is the only company with a credible path to full self driving and it doesn't need lidar or radar, we don't need it so why should AI?
Because current computer vision algorithms based on segmentation e.g. connected components algorithms, are brittle and lack semantic meaning. Humans have a way of finding meaning in images and we currently don't have computer algorithms that can replicate what humans do in that respect. CNN image recognition is not the same as meaning.
