Waymo rides now available on the Uber app in Atlanta, Vay partners with Kodiak to bring remote driving to autonomous trucks, and Travis Kalanick in talks with Uber to team up on self-driving?!
I'd be willing to wager there's a remote steering wheel with a remote driver attached to it; and together they can override Tesla's robotaxi steering. And based on video analysis, I'd double down to say that remote driver has already intervened multiple times to prevent accidents in Tesla robotaxis, just in a week or so.
The technology in that vehicle is nowhere near ready for true autonomous operation. One man's opinion.
That's possible but as I've stated before, it's difficult to take over at high speeds and 'avoid an accident' since things happen quickly. Teleoperations are more designed for low speed and / or long tail events (like if you're stuck in a parking lot or have to deal with a construction zone).
I think you can make your argument that it's not ready for true autonomous operation just based off the list of 'mishaps' without even speculation on whether they're using teleoperations or not.
Yes agreed. To clarify: I don’t believe in tele-driver takeover as a good idea for most roadway scenarios, and I think the whole thing is crucially/dangerously unsafe. But seems that is what they’re doing.
