A driverless Chevrolet Bolt operated by GM’s Cruise robotaxi firm was noticed caught in the midst of an intersection that was underneath development in San Francisco. However whereas that is removed from the primary time a Cruise autonomous taxi stopped in the midst of the highway blocking site visitors, it’s Elon Musk’s involvement that makes issues a bit extra attention-grabbing this time round.
The video embedded beneath was posted on Twitter a few days in the past by the consumer Tesla Homeowners Silicon Valley and was later retweeted by @stevenmarkryan, who mentioned that “Generalized autonomy (see Tesla) is 100x tougher than the brittle ‘self-driving’ tech we see right here.”
The submit goes on to explain how Tesla’s so-called Full Self-Driving system “will scale broadly as a result of it’s clever,” deciphering what it “sees” in real-time and appearing accordingly.
