    Self-Driving Cars longest contiguous self-driving video, from each company?


    longest contiguous self-driving video, from each company?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 08:08 AM PST

    in av industry, hard to tell who actually has made real progress. nothing but adas is actually tested externally. and as is discussed often, miles per disengagment are easy to game. just drive same easy route you've tried 1000 times, push number up up up.

    but perhaps not so easy, because most companies still have very few miles per disengagement. so mpd is useful metric in some sense.

    now, demo video are even easier to game! do same easy route from above, but try 1000 times and show best one.

    ...but perhaps not so easy either... because most video of driving are few minutes, or spliced together of many clips. so maybe it is useful metric too? after all, if system actually works for hours at a time, easy to record it doing so...

    i was curious, so here are longest contiguous video i could find in a quick search for most well-known teams. surprisingly, longest urban video i can find is cruise from 2017.

    table is obviously unfinished. if you have other contenders (or longer video for these teams), please link.

    urban:

    team contiguous autonomy
    Cruise 83 minutes
    Tesla 10 minutes
    Waymo 7 minutes
    Zoox 2 minutes

    highway:

    team contiguous autonomy
    Tesla 3.5 hours
    Comma 1.7 hours
    TuSimple 1.3 hours
    Helm 0.5 hours (est)

    edit: added tusimple and helm to hwy after search yt for zero/no disengagement

    Is it time to start salivating over the CA disengagement reports, yet?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:55 AM PST

    Yes, I know they border on meaningless, but nevertheless, they're all we have and we all look forward to them. So what's the scuttlebutt?

    What do we think Waymo will be at?

    Will Tesla report since they're supposedly a stone's throw away from releasing FSD? Surely they must be testing it, right?

    Is anyone going to go a step beyond and provide meaningful context?

    Any dark horses?

    Rule based or Reinforced learning, what's the correct approach?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 01:56 AM PST

    As far as I know Waymo is mostly rule based with some machine learning and Tesla and OpenPilot believe machine learning is the only way to solve self driving. Both solutions seem to make sense as it's a very open problem, but some seem to believe one of those approaches is doomed.

    What is the point of the lidar map in the Cadillac Super Cruise system?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2019 02:43 PM PST

    Cadillac developed a lidar map for the Super Cruise, but then didn't actually include any lidar sensors in the vehicle. Without that lidar sensor, I don't see how they can possibly be using map to localize the vehicle (which presumably is the point of the map in the first place).

    So it seems like the map wouldn't be that much better than an existing GPS map... or am I missing something here?
