Ford Confirms Layoffs, Says It Is Cutting About 3,000 Jobs - WSJThese aren't bugs that need to be worked out. These are fundamental issues with how the vehicle interacts with the environment in certain border conditions. It's easy to do the sunny day scenario where weather is good, roads are marked, GPS maps are correct and everyone behaves correctly. Hackers and inexperienced developers stop there. Those of us who have done mission critical software know that's just the beginning. You must take into account equipment failures; bad weather obscuring cameras and road markings and signs; detours; officers manually directing traffic, accidents, road closures, animals, pedestrians. Etc etc etc. That's the last 5% that is so hard and IMO will never be fully solved. But if you add a backup driver then you don't need that last 5%. Or you restrict usage to a known area like an amusement park or local neighborhood and if something unknown happens you just shut it down.
Thats why companies have backed off the 100% autonomous goal - they finally realized what some of us have been saying for years.Tue, 06 Sep 2022 18:11:08 +0000
