    Can Self Driving Cars Break The Rules? Technology Deep Dive!​
    Sponsored by Mobileye: bit.ly/3taHKrP
    Watch the full Jerusalem night drive: • Mobileye Robotaxi Uned... ​
    Watch the Driving Policy video: • Mobileye's Lean Drivin... ​

    Mobileye brought me out to their headquarters in Jerusalem where I was able to experience their autonomous driving technology first hand. Autonomous driving is a complex subject, so we’ll be breaking down how it all works. ​

    There’s a narrative that autonomous cars will be far too conservative in their driving to be practical and enjoyed by consumers. But what if autonomous cars could break the rules? Well, there’s a very interesting answer to this to question.​

    To better understand this, first we need to understand the backbone of autonomous cars, which comes down to three segments: hardware, mapping data, and driving policy. We’ll break each of these pieces down to fully understand how autonomous vehicles are able to navigate congested, complicated city streets. ​

      The car sneaking up on the right is pretty standard when you are trying to get out of the way of traffic on the lanes you have to cross. Nothing really that stressful about the situation, just don't get impatient and try to force things. It's all a question of reacting to the situation and act decent.

      That was the opposite of impressive, it was dangerous. When the self driving car pulled out to try and make it's left turn, it was blocking oncoming traffic. If the oncoming cars were not paying attention, this could have caused an accident. Making a right, and then making a U turn when safe, would have been the correct decision.

    I'm very impressed that the footage here includes so much sketchy situations - people crossing between vehicles, even while some are moving; cars parked with a bit hanging into the active lane; bus merging but imperfectly staying in lane.
    I'm not sure if this astounding dream will succeed. But that it is giving so much attention to _extremely_ gray situations and sketchy realities is MASSIVELY encouraging. (Including speeding and crossing the double yellow when suitable. That's very intelligent, and crucial.)

    • @EngineeringExplained

      Yes, intentionally tried to show the more interesting/edge case scenarios that seem likely to trip up AVs, and show how the car reacts. You can see my genuine shock after the scene at 9:55, because I saw the bus coming in and was certain it would cause trouble, only for the AV to switch lanes and breeze past. I know a lot of folks see this and think it's super simple, but it's quite complex how much math is involved behind the scenes, and experiencing that all in real time is wild.

      Absolutely - if you keep your eyes open it's easy to spot a cop car just driving along with somewhere to go, in a big bunch of traffic that is moving along at 10 to 12 km/h higher than the speed limit. The cop who's driving doesn't care because his assigned work for the day is to investigate a crime, not to pull over speeders and ticket them. So he's just matching their speed, and you can bet that he also does that when off duty in his personal vehicle.

      Yes I used FSD last week on a 1 hour drive. I only had to take over once because it was be slow to decide what lane to be in. The other 59 minutes and 55 seconds it did it all on its own.
      On the way home it was raining hard and hailing. FSD would turn into autopilot (only lane keeping, no turns) 90% of the time. And it was hard to even get it to turn on at all.
      So once FSD works at level 4 in good weather they will be spending a lot of time figuring out how it will work in terrible weather.

    11:42 this is a really impressive moment. For most people who make their license, the gesture of the bus driver is obvious. But it's not an traffic rule per-se (as far as I know) that flashing the headlights means "go on, I'll wait for you". And the crossing of the crosswalk next to the ambulance was also very interesting. My instructor back then would've slammed the break in that case, because the pedestrians have the right of way there. But that's why it's so impressive to me, because the car apparently understood the context of the situation very well:
    it's trying go through the curve AND that the pedestrians on the left slowed down, telling it that they'll just go after it.

      I watch for that in the Tesla a lot. When turning left I’m glancing back and fourth between the road and the screen with my foot over the break. If I see a car that could be in our way and the FSD doesn’t show that car as blue (FSD visual changes the cars on the screen from black to blue when it’s waiting for that car) I apply the breaks disengaging FSD. That is happening less and less each month.

Fallen debris, flooding and liquefaction, fractures and sink holes, downed power lines, etc. Also many roads moved several meters up, down and/or sideways, making GPS useless.

    @xungnham1388 Год назад +2

    To all the self driving car avocates, I'd suggest looking up the videos of Vietnamese traffic intersections. In those videos, realize that all participants (drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, etc) are able to negotiate traffic order on 8 lane intersections without any traffic control devices. Humans are able to do this through just hints from subtle hand gestures, gait/pace, horns, lane positioning, spacing, and angle.
    Even in countries with more rigid traffic control policies, a human driver clues into these subtle hints. You can tell when a car is about to cut you off based on their lane positioning and angle. We mentally note which cars may be driven by distracted or new drivers and are more cautious around them based on following distance, response time to traffic lights, etc.
    I've pulled up to do a right turn and had a car in the lane left of me pull up to block my view of oncoming traffic. In those situations, some times I can look through their passenger window and windshield to see oncoming traffic. Show me a lidar or video detection system doing that.
    It is really easy to mislead how well a self-driving system works with statistics. A million accident free miles is worthless if only driven on sunny days and easy roads and the system bails out to a safety driver when it doesn't know what to do. Until a system takes in ALL of the inputs we as drivers do, how can a self-driving system match or exceed human drivers? No system in development takes into account horns or highbeams or hand gestures from other drivers.

    Someone may have already added this. But in Australia the road rules have been changed to 'a meter matters' when overtaking cyclists. Below 60km/h a metre must be allowed, over 60 then it becomes 1.5m. Motorists are allowed to cross centrelines to keep this distance and only overtake when safe to do so. Let's just say it's taking a long time to get this to become the norm...

    My biggest problem with really advanced technology is that out in the real world it usually doesn't last long. We have trucks with radar for collision avoidance, one has never functioned correctly and the other has seen "ghosts" in winter weather. I have recently seen a video of a test involving a self-driving semi and how it reacted to a steer tire blow out. It didn't crash, but it also did not get out of the lane of travel just coming to a stop in the lane it was in; they can only do what they are programmed to, and no one can think of everything. Now these cars probably have higher end equipment and a significantly more advanced AI than the truck. Seeing the car in operation was really amazing. Also, your explanation of everything was as always easy to understand.

Like a flat tire or something bad happen to the suspension. Or maybe not safety related but just annoying, like a cardboard box getting stuck under the car. Would it be able to compensate?
    I also wondered about security. Like people tricking the system to make the car to do unsafe things or to toll the user. Like setting up mannequins or somone flashing fake lights to think its being pulled over. A human could see they where fake (oh thats just some kid on a bike with a flash light) but im wondering how the car would handle it.

Or is mobile eye give each car an unique lidar signature so they don't jamming each other ?

      Incidentally background photon pollution also happen with lidar. During dawn or dusk sun ray can come into lidar. And give erroneous reading. And there is also opaque surface (IE black tire) to lidar light spectrum and light incident angle could affect the reading accuracy.
      I done some work in university with multi drone with lidar sensing. So I had encountered some of these common lidar issue. Since our department budget was pretty cheap. Could only get the cheapest lidar with no fancy phase velocity modulation. The signal cross talk could get extremely noisy once you get around 10 drones and above. So I was wondering how mobile eye solve it without spending lots of money.

Matters a lot for perception of the technology, and makes it a lot more enjoyable when it's able to pass.

But, we still have to take into account that they also haven't been on the road as long as humans have been driving and also not as many vehicles with this capability. I'd wager however that they are still far safer than the average driver. As for the weather issue, I think he was correct in saying it's easier to start from normal good driving conditions and then work their way up to more difficult areas where the weather is another obstacle to overcome. But, let's also be real and acknowledge that a lot of human drivers also perform poorly in inclement weather.

      I agree. I have been driving FSD Beta for 2-1/2 years. The system is getting very good. I have to point out, however, that Tesla's system still depends on map data which varies in quality. Tesla may have to take a page from Mobileye and generate their own road maps (including parking lots) before Level 4 autonomy will become practical. In too many instances when visual information conflicts with the road map data, road map data takes priority.
