Driverless Cars Easily Confused

I still say this is safer than non-Jersey drivers

A simple road sign sized sticker on a road sign can easily confuse a flesh and bone driver and cause an accident, but nobody complains, because who and why the fuck would put up fake road signs? (well, okay, this sounds like a fun idea)

This reminds me of some essay on cybersecurity I've read a long time ago, where the author argues that the problem with cybersecurity is largely our attitude - technically you can walk into a cafe and pour piss in a salt shaker or swap salt with any kind of white powder, but it is not considered a legitimate threat. Meanwhile doing the same on the net is a thing.

>imfuckingplying jersey drivers are safe
If there is one thing people from that region can agree on, it's that jersey drivers are drooling retards.

Good rebuttal, except there's actually graffiti on a large percentage of road signs in the real world.

Is there anywhere in the world where people think the people around them drive well?

The AI Bot must have created his own language....

Not even NJ government thinks NJ residents are good drivers. Drove through once to reach Maryland and not even a mile in, I saw a billboard advertising a snitch line for lousy driving.

I was wondering how they caught the culprit! lol

The only reason driving is dangerous in Jersey is because we get a lot of tourists that don't know how to adapt.

There are areas of the US where people are alright drivers. Having been around alot the deep south and urban areas are full of retards. Upstate NY is totally fine

Please don't put one of these cars in China Town!

just another step in getting the point where machines can tell what is what better than humans can

This is easily fixable by putting standardised chips or something readable by machines in every road sign.

hey at a buck not including labor, thats only 89 billion dollars.

anyways, a major issue with this is responsibility. its already illegal to deface property, but how the hell do you monitor 89 billion stop signs to make sure none of them are defaced in such a way that causes fatalities? since its nearly impossible to track every sign and find out who put a stick on it, who gets the murder charge when a car plows through a 6 lane because it misread stop as 65 mph?

You're asking the wrong question. This doesn't ask "who gets blamed when driverless cars mess up", this states definitively that driverless cars are not ready for any sort of widespread distribution.

>A simple road sign sized sticker on a road sign can easily confuse a flesh and bone driver and cause an accident

So something that virtually never happens? Meanwhile, road signs do get vandalized, defaced, and dirty. The stop sign in the OP pic apparently fools self-driving cars into thinking it's something other than a stop sign. No human being with a valid driver's license would make that mistake.

Valid driver's license? Shit, no human being over the age of 5 would be fooled by that shit. Even kids can recognize a stop sign.

>covers stop sign in reflective tape
pranked out of your mind

Kind of defeats the point of all the research into image recognition, doesn't it? Honestly, self-driving cars are still a big meme at this point. It's going to be a lot longer than people think before they're viable outside very controlled conditions.

This article is pointless. Not worth the comments. They are simply perfecting the technology (AI) and the algorithms through trial and error. Now that Quantum Computing is in play, it won't be long.

Pretty easily solved by GPS telling the car what the speed limit is and where the turns are

Self-driving cars use a combination of video, lidar, radar, GPS, regular map, cooperative map, and complex "thinking".
If they see a 65mph sign, they don't just go 65mph through an intersection. They see the intersection several times (ie on several sensors), are confused by the absence of intersection-related sign, and will most likely slow down and beep to have the human driver take the wheel.
Human-less self driving cars will probably need a complete map, including every sign. Tesla cars are already writing it along with driving informations (this data is sent to tesla headquarters when human-driving)

When was the last time you confused a stop sign for a 45mph sign?
