Yeah true, only cars and humans are allowed to be on roads.

Everything else is magically repelled away. Like debris, crashed cars that don't look like cars, animals, stuff that fell of that truck, a soccer ball kicked from nearby field...

Your attitude seems pretty bad.

I don’t think that was the point I was making at all.

This seems exactly like a case where computer algorithms would function worse than humans. It is not surprising (to me) that those exist.

For instance, put a sign that flashes “Skydivers will land 100m in front of you in about 5s, break now” and human beings will have 100% success rate in avoiding it, and computers will not. (Or any other situation that relies on written communication that is not usually used on the road).

There’s plenty of situations where human ability will perform better than computer models (and vice versa).

I think you are being too generous with what a self driving car should be able to do.

If you were moving a house and was caring a big box across a street. Its not unreasonable to expect that you will be able safely make it across the street, even though you don't look exactly like a normal pedestrian.

And it is not unreasonable to expect a self driving car to break if there is any type of a obstacle in their path, especially if not classified. We are not talking about some wacky scenario. A bird might be flying across a street at windshield level. A ball might be kicked onto the street. A hey-bale might falloff onto the street from a tractor driving ahead. A huge box with legs is crossing a street.

I am not expecting a child to be hiding behind a parked car jumping out in front of incoming car to be a scenario that anyone could catch.

My question is why those car dont break when there is object infront of the?
