- Online videos of the new Robotaxis de Tesla Robotaxis survey
- Images show cars that accelerate and ghost braking
- Tesla’s complete and automatic autonomous mode is also under meticulous examination
The deployment of Tesla from its Robotaxi service on the weekend was hailed as a success of the company, which saw around 10 to 20 model vehicles independently cover a geosid route around Austin, Texas, with a selection of “pro-Tesla” content creators on board.
The first publications on social networks revealed that the experience was largely taking place as a watchmaking work, despite the delay in the release of the required application. The lack of software verification also meant that the integrated security driver (who was invited to remain silent) should manually check the identifiers.
But as the day progressed, a certain number of videos emerged online from Tesla Robotaxy behaving irregularly, in particular by lengthening in the wrong track, traveling several kilometers per hour above the speed limit and, in a case, slamming on the brakes for a group of police cars which was parked well out of the road.
“National Highway Transit Safety Administration (NHSTA) is aware of the referenceed incidents and is in contact with the manufacturer to collect additional information,” the agency said in a statement, as reported by the Guardian.
However, the security agency quickly pointed out in its declaration that the NHTSA does not pre-apprise the new technology, but rather forces manufacturers to ensure that vehicles meet the standards of the agency.
He will later investigate and report everything that falls to the fault of his directives.
The most recent preliminary survey joins an open survey on which the NHTSA is already working on the manufacturer’s full autonomous mode in its tourist vehicles.
This separate case examines the system’s capacity to operate safely in low visibility situations, following a certain number of high -level accidents.
Analysis: It is too early for the autonomous camera systems only
Elon Musk has preached the advantages of its autonomous driving system only on the camera, which avoids the plethora of sensors, radars and Lidar which are currently used by all other key rivals, including Waymo, Hyundai (in its Ioniq 5 Robotaxi) and Nissan.
The primordial advantage is a cost saving for the manufacturer, as well as a reduction in unsightly weight and volume which can be seen perched at the top of the Waymo cabins currently in service.
But these systems are used for a reason, mainly to be able to paint a more detailed image of the environment when current camera technology and AI simply cannot.
The argument currently leveled at Tesla Vision is that an approach only for the camera could be suitable in the future, but technology is not yet ready.
Unfortunately, the Californian company is also famous on the sharing of its complete autonomous data, with Electk reporting that Tesla asked the NHSTA to ensure that the responses to in progress are confidential.
The brand also releases only very limited data linked both to its complete autonomous driving and automatic driver systems, offering a cumulative mileage and the number of depths (where the system requires a human to take over).
Waymo and his Rivaux d’Adas colleagues, on the other hand, provide much more detailed information, in accordance with the NHSTA guidelines, which helps strengthen public confidence in technology – something even Elon Musk agrees.
