How incredibly fucking callous. :( :( :(
And their attempt to make out like people not having sensors under their vehicles is the same thing is even worse. People tend to have _awareness_ of WTF is around their vehicles because of stuff like this.
That can _sometimes_ not work out well, but it's completely different from Waymo (specifically here) not giving a fuck.
Surely an undercarriage sensor array can be done on the cheap (engineering and retrofits aside) due to the required sensing distance being quite short.
Off the top of my head, it sounds like an area where ultrasonics and cameras would actually excel at (as opposed to replacing LIDAR for core functionality, which doesn't work very well as we've found out).
The resources required for putting AI <something> inline in the input (upload) or output (download) chain would likely dwarf the resources needed for the non-AI approaches.
> Samuel Woolley, a disinformation expert at the University of Pittsburgh, said the company’s wording was misleading. “Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence,” he said. “This is AI.”
It's the other way around isn't it? "AI" is a subset of ML.
Next step, just need a shitload of vram. ;)
Maybe those Intel Battlematrix 48GB cards might be useful after all... :)
