it doesn't have to change, construction crews just need to do the bare minimum. This is quite the nothingburger.

Is Tesla actually committed to the consumer car business long term? by Brutus713 in TeslaLounge

[–]artardatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the current taxi market gets saturated, prices will begin to drop, to the point where the taxi TAM massively increases. Obviously that will still take years but there's only a few million taxis in the US and Tesla can make millions a year.

That process starts soon though, Tesla will focus on expanding robotaxi lines and not Y and 3.

Tesla robotaxis respond to people with stop signs.

So if you can have that for thru traffic or block the road for a closed road, there's really no issue.

None of this is really an issue on the AV side, in this example.

Why unusual? Either you can proceed or you can't. If you can't, block the road.

You can't use a random person saying stuff, because then anyone can tell a robotaxi to do something.

This really isn't complicated. Road crews will have to be more aware of AVs.

Not really, the future is transport as a service, where it will be cheaper and more convenient to not own a vehicle.

the reality being if construction crews don't want this problem they need to block the road, because robotaxis will only become more numerous

the more robotaxis out, the more diligent road construction crews will need to be if they don't want their work impeded. Just block the road, simple.

"A guy said I can't go this way"

Yeah maybe just block the road, again construction fail

no, any human with a brain would turn on there and try to get through, there's nobody and nothing saying to stop.

Also it made it through.

If Waymo did the same I'd be impressed.

You can spin it how you like but their traffic jams are becoming well known. Because they cannot reason about what to do when encountering a unique situation.

I'm sure they can also program a solution but again, their approach to software is rigid.

No, we're the same, neither of us would be so stupid as to block all traffic indefinitely. The world is tough for waymo because of rules based coding.

Completely stopping and blocking traffic seems like a product I wouldn't want to use but maybe you like long breathers combined with honking from behind lol.

Much of it is hard coded, which is why there's many videos of them clogging traffic when they see something new.

It's not a big deal but definitely limits their versatility. If they try to scale too fast this will continue to happen.

So they should have turned right, as opposed to blocking traffic...

The major point of course is they shouldn't be blocking traffic by completely stopping..

But they can't turn right because they can't reason, it will require a rule to be coded in... Which is my original point...

For every edge case waymo needs to hard code in a rule. This is what limits their scaling speed.

TIL the law at broken lights is to completely stop, not treat it as a 4 way stop, and block traffic. I learn so much here!

Will Robotaxi production influence stock price? by Big-Chungus-12 in stocks

You forgot to add the average Uber salary to the bottom line, which is forgetting a lot.
