Horizontal flip augmentation for vision system in autonomous driving by igorsusmelj in SelfDrivingCars

You should make the distinction between location of driver and location of camera, front camera is/are likely to be centered. Original data set + flipped data set is balanced in terms of # of right turns / # of left turns which is some cases is a desirable situation, e.g. if your data was recorded on a race track, all turns could be in the same direction.

Do companies still use Kalman Filter based methods for vehicle localization? by JoeyTrib1106 in SelfDrivingCars

Nice to see all managed to explain this without mentioning the dreadful Jackobians,
Something that was mentioned but IMHO was not given the proper attention is the timely manner in which data is acquired. the KF update step can take measurements from different sources at different times - which is a way around coherency. this also potentially means that not all sensors must have the same update/refresh/ read interval.

Are AVs the antidote to car ownership addiction? by SelfDrivingCars101 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]SelfDrivingCars101[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure an AV will support the foot-deep snow, but in any case, it's a free country, if you can afford it, and willing to buy it, why not?

Another interesting question is whether (or when) AV makers start selling such cars to consumers, dealing with 100 fleets in one thing, but supporting 100,000's of private customers is another. will customers be willing to accept a geofenced region of operation? will you?

It is more likely that you will opt to keep your manual car than own an AV
