@Hooroo said in Uber v Taxis:
I do wonder how it allows for road works and the adjusted speed limits. Every now and then I will see works and they with have 30kph on one side of road and 50kph on the other in error.
I totally rammed up the back of if when it stopped for those runners on the footpath.
Software reads road signs.

Software reads road signs.
Also: use Google Maps to run a route and you'll see where it has roadworks noted. It is constantly feeding data about changed traffic conditions, which you get as part of the estimated time of travel.

None of those examples show the critical need to slow down slightly to get a better look at the hot chick out for a jog.
Put that in your AI and you have a winner.The car is fucking loaded with cameras. So you can take that vision home.

Just reading about a Tesla Model X in the Netherlands which predicted a crash ahead of the vehicle nearly a second before it happened.
Article with the deets is here BUT it has some dodgy "YOU JUST WON!" links on it:

So if you don't want that stupid shit, here is the short version of the video recorded from the owner's TV playback of dashcam, by the looks:
Note the beeping just before impact. The new update to the Tesla software allows the radar to look beyond the vehicle in front. In this case probably saw the sudden deceleration of the black car before the purple car did, as he was looking to change lanes.

Who are you going to kill?
I thought that was really rubbish as not once did I look at gender or age or 'fitness' of victims, yet a lot of the results showed what I chose even though the thought process left Gender etc out

Those breaking the law < Animals < Numbers game < Those in the car < Pedestrians.

This was really stupid as it assumed you were doing a Sherlock type deduction of the situation including checking the cross signal and body shapes of potential victims as well as being judge and jury on an alleged criminal act. This was all while you had just discovered that not only had some fuck-knuckle put a solid barrier in the middle of the road but your brakes had failed.
Basically you should be taking the hit in all scenarios as no bystander at all deserves punishment of death because your vehicle is faulty. You and your passengers accepted a risk when you started driving.
