The dragon has really clean road lines and is very well maintained. It may be curvy but it's still a pretty "happy path" test scenario. Owning a Tesla in Wisconsin quickly reveals the larger gaps in the software with our busted up roads and rough winters. It's incredibly impressive, but does have a long way to go on roads in disrepair.

The decisions the car needed to make were minimal. The places where autopilot is going to be stressed are multi-lanes roads, cross roads, poorly marked roads, poorly maintained roads, etc.

The road itself looks amazing to drive as a scenic route, but while very twisty, what makes it dangerous seems to be the stupidity of people driving on it. Even if you're following the rules and not putting yourself in danger, you still are hugely dependent on whether other people on the road are as well. The fact that it has gained such a reputation doesn't help either.

@rGunti 2 года назад

@Petalflipper 2 года назад

@youkofoxy 2 года назад

It looks like a 40 to 60 road if you are in a hurry. Impossible to get over 60 there, there isn't much room for mistakes. Overall, more of a scenic route, except it has loots of tree ls and few outlooks. Speeds are in km/h by the way.

@mafiacat88 2 года назад

Exactly this. One of the more dangerous highways in the country is near where I am, but driving it you wouldn't really understand-it's well marked, reasonably wide, and the speed limit is only 80k/h. It's twisty, and there are no dividers, (and no streetlights), but it's a decent road. The problem is people get complacent, doing it as a commute, and start driving a twisty mountain road in the dark too fast. All it takes is one person crossing the line, and you got a head-on collision at a cumulative 200k/h

@sweetlorikeet 2 года назад

Yes, you can be doing all the right things but if someone coming the other way is about to swerve into your lane around the blind corner to save .5 seconds on their 'speed run', you're still in trouble.

A lot of people are scared of change and this is one where one day they will replace humans driving. You'll have companies lobbying against it even in RU-vid comment sections for years possibly decades. For me, it's an inevitability, because ultimately the technology just needs to drive better than humans and not be perfect, and we are bad at driving. Just might not go full autonomous in my lifetime.

@emptyshirt 2 года назад

@@Furycrab The thing is that you can't ban human driven cars until there is a completely functional replacement established. Full self driving literally doesn't exist yet and some people think self driving cars will be mandatory in 20 years. Remember that the average car lasts 11 years and today most new cars are still gasoline powered. There is no way self driving cars will make a significant impact in the next 10 years outside of the wealthiest areas.

@@Furycrab The problem is that Grey is presenting this like a 'the future is now, old man' video, when it's not. This road isn't dangerous, the way people drive on it is dangerous, and that Tesla is programmed to obey the rules of the road. If you watch the uncut version, that car really struggles with tight bends, and goes over the yellow lines multiple times. That technology is not finished. A real test would be driving this thing into the center of Amsterdam, where the roads are narrow, and there are obstacles and blind corners everywhere. There are trams, and taxis, and cyclists, all of whom will take the right of way, whether they have it or not.

@alsifjlasieflooo 2 года назад

I don't want to step on any toes here, but in Switzerland this would be a pretty normal mountain road; except there would be some form of guard rail or stone wall along the WHOLE road and there would be signs with reflective arrows pointing indicating the direction of the turns (especially imprtant at night). We have mountain roads even smalller than that, there are traffic lights, because in parts the road is only wide enough for one lane to go through at a time. The alps are full of such roads. Of course we have wider mountain roads too, but in the rural areas it's pretty much like this or even narrower. Buses ("Postautos") use these roads too. They have a signature horn the use before blind corners. It's all very normal here, no overabundance of crashes or anything. If an incident / accident happens in the mountains, there is the "Rega", a non-profit air ambulance to rush the injured to the nearest hospital. In the mountains this is often the quickes way compared to road-based ambulances an in case of injured hikers or climbers the only option. Their phone number is 1414.

Looking at the road and doing research, I don't think there was a danger of the Tesla crashing into anything, rather, the danger was 'is anyone going to crash into you?' Most of the problems for the road seem to just be reckless drivers. Otherwise, it's just a twisty road, and if it's built to proper specifications then the Tesla should have no problem dealing with it.

@bradenculver7457 2 года назад

Well it does pretty well with these well maintained lines, in the full video it quite literally crosses the entirety of the double lines into the other lane a few times, at one point being almost entirely there in a blind corner. If a car were coming, it would’ve absolutely been the teslas fault there, neither it nor an oncoming driver would’ve had time to react because the Tesla was in the wrong lane in a blind corner. So the Tesla definitely does have some issues. I really don’t think this software is fully developed enough to be placed on every road, but it is getting more and more impressive. Even watching it, I could tell for a lot of the time it wasn’t necessarily dangerous, but I would not want to be veering that far out without the ability to quickly recorrect, which is why you should have your hands on the wheel but of course… people are people and full self driving is a rather deceiving term.

It goes through GSMNP about 30mi. north of US29 and is probably more twisty, but it's got pull-offs, scenic overlooks, and trailheads from end to end (Also, at least the last time I saw it, it was nowhere near as well maintained.) *I* often have trouble telling if a car is fully parked at a pull-off or is about to zip out in front of me , so I imagine it would be a rough time for the Tesla.

Now whilst many debate the effectiveness of this test, I view it as amazing for one clear reason: The department which manages this road, despite its fame and supposed danger, has kept this road so well maintained that an AI can safely traverse it on its own. It also presents a theory of what if there are multiple self driving cars alongside multiple manual motorists and etc, and if self driving cars could also then at a point comfortably aid drivers who were traversing incredably long stretches of road and had little time to make stops, with the potential of running into a road like this being less of a threat or obstacle and rather just another part of the trip.

I take car meets out to the dragon all the time. Rules are: Keep 2 cars spacing and never cross the yellow lines. The dangerous part of this road are the blind corners and the sharp turns. You have to brake way harder than you think. Honestly, this road is much more forgiving on brakes than a circuit track, but the lack of visibility and the constraint of being stuck in 1 lane has tricked even experienced track drivers in my experience. This bit of road is a lot of fun, just takes discipline and awareness to enjoy it. Never drive alone in this road.

It's a clean road with few other drivers I'd be surprised if even the most basic algorithms struggled here

Every time I hear The Tail of the Dragon, I think *“Literally that one Mario Kart track”*

We stayed in NC for a vacation this year, and wanted to go to Tennessee for a cave. Google maps took us on the tail of the dragon, and it was not a fun time for our kids...

I like how the most dangerous road in the United States is a paved road

It's for the ridiculous speeds we try to go on it

Ok, the Dragon's Tail is cool and all, but now try Bolivia's Death Road. I dare you.

@dukedragon28 2 года назад

That would be too great a risk, not because of the self driving car but from the impatient locals

Yeah that's been my thoughts too is that if you're at least careful, this doesn't seem too much. There are roads in Mexico way worse than this, lmao

Welcome to East Tennessee. Commenters who have said that this is a bunch of dangerous drivers more than a dangerous road are partially correct. If the road weren't so well marked and well maintained, people would slow down. People treat well maintained twisty mountain roads like this as racetracks. The state should close it or place traffic calming, but this is a tourist attraction for motorcyclists and sports car owners. It's on the edge of the most visited National Park in the United States, and that also contributes to its notoriety. Anyway, if you ever come to Knoxville, Tomato Head has excellent pizza and sandwiches, Litton's has the best hamburgers, and Buddy's Barbeque is extremely overrated.

Thought I was slick looking frame by frame during the snapshots at 5:54. Trying to catch a glimpse of Grey in the flesh. I guess I did in almost an easter egg sort of way. About being closer to the yellow line than the white. That is the right call. As a professional driver we are taught to "hog the road". Even tractor trailer drivers don't want to play my favorite game, "Let's kiss mirrors".

This reminds me of when we went of vacation to France and we traveled the mountain-roads there. Of course it's not that busy usually, but they had special signs to indicate if someone died at certain points on those roads. As a memorial, but obviously also to warn you to not make the same mistake.

Dude. Highway 1 in California. That road SCARES me and I refuse to drive it any more north than Bodega Bay. That thing has literal U-turns, winds against ridges and hills and can get uncomfortably close to the cliffs with at least a 100-foot drop into the ocean or large trees to crash into. Not to mention blind turns, residential driveways, and the potential for cows to cross it. I get nervous just being a passenger.

Only in America is a dangerous road seen as an opportunity for commerce... Great video, as always.

@m1k3y48 2 года назад

It's definitely an opportunity everywhere, thrill seekers will seek danger, and there will always be money to be made there. Sherpas make a living hauling people up Everest, for example.
