DiplomjodlerThe people who knock self driving systems often forget how dumb a lot of drivers are.
People drive when they have to. If you’ve put in a double shift you’re not going to be at your best.
GladaedI also knock off car-first cities. A tram will not go full looney toons. And I expect that the professional drivers that are actually needed in a city will also not do it that often.
I’ve seen tram drivers do incredibly stupid things. But yeah, they generally stick to the rails.
MinnesotaGoddamyou know those conveyor belts they have at airports and shit? we should just design a city with a shitton of those instead of roads.
StiffyYou should read “The Roads Must Roll” short story by Robert Heinein. He takes this idea to a whole nother level.
it also features lightly in jasper fforde’s shades of grey series. those roads are carnivorous
Asimov also had that in his books. The idea was kinda popular in sci-fi back in the 50s-60s.
Asimov also noted that if someone fell on another person on that ‘road’ and it caused a domino effect, that would suck big time.
UnderpantsWeevilA tram will not go full looney toons.
The tram will drive through the tunnel successfully after the car crashes into the wall, with roadrunner as the conductor
Few Years ago I read an article like " study finds you can get self driving cars to crash by throwing a human shaped pupped in front of them". I was like, yeah no shit that also works for humans.
Can You Fool A Self Driving Car?
altkey (he\him)if elon_boss == True: …
ACME self driving.
Baited
ByteJunkOk but that’s just evil.
They painted it at a T junction, you can see there’s a road coming from the opposite direction, and at night, anybody who’s not local could have fallen for that.l and assumed it was a crossroads.
There’s also barely, if any, sidewalk in front of the painting, that could at least have alerted the driver.
It’s pure luck that the guy wasn’t driving fast, or there’d be dead bodies because of this stupid prank. This needs jail time, even if suspended.
It looks like a cartoon tunnel that no one should be fooled by unless they were severely distracted or impaired. The lack of signage should make it obvious.
ZorgTesla’s on “full” ““auto”” “”“pilot”“” will plow right into what looks like a road. Mike or Mark Robber tested various self driving cars against a painted curtain with boxes behind it, Tesla’s not only failed to stop, they would disengage auto-pilot a split second before colliding, so doesn’t count as auto failure.
Tesla plows into emergency vehicles with lights flashing, it also tries to run into regular walls on occasion. It’s hardly relevant to anything about driving skills.

SpotWell it can only hurt car users, and I don’t care what happens to them
samus12345It never actually happened, though the painting did briefly exist before being painted over in 2015.
its not evil if they wanted suicide
it’s a parking lot, a bar did that as a joke, not a graffiti art.
Painting that on a junction like this just seems incredibly dangerous.
titanicxI like how the same picture shows up at least once a week on some social media, subreddit, lemmy post etc.
Since 2015 when it was first posted.
moseschruteAll social media content was actually created in 2015. No new content was created since then. Most people don’t know this, but 100% of TikTok’s are just reposts from Vine.
SnoddyDoes the painter look like that?
how do people actually fall for this
its not even convincing
I mean, yeah, maybe it was dark and you couldn’t see that it was fake but seriously
how are you that stupid
how do people actually fall for this
It’s dark. They’re tired. They know a turn is coming up but can’t see it due to the lights from oncoming traffic
Then proceeded to ask why they’re so stupid still.
Lol exactly my thought too.
“How can you not see even if it’s dark” idk dude wait until your 73 and trying to drive home at night while oncoming traffic has bright lights in your face I guess.
cause if they knew that the turn was coming and they knew the road well, how did they not notice that the tunnel had never been there, and why did they try to drive into it? whenever I’m driving in a place I know very well/I live in I basically just go on autopilot and drive to where I need to go.
XatolosWho said they knew the road well? It could be their first time there and the phones map told them a left turn was coming up.
if they were following directions they wouldn’t think they know better than a computer software that is specifically designed to route and track roads using satellites by going forward.
I’m sorry dude. I guess I’ve never met someone you who is immune from making mistakes.
your grammar’s wrong
its “I’ve never met someone you who is immune to making from mistakes.”
now that I know that you don’t like it I’m probably just gonna do it more
I know somebody’s gonna be like “but Jesus said don’t point out a splinter in somebody else’s eye when you have a plank in yours” but I’m just teasing >_<

Or sick. Or simply overworked.
