"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That's not how any of this works.
It's just regular lidar for the most part.
Also that's just unsafe and dangerous to potential passengers. What's next? Doing a little terrorism?
Thinking this is weird and circle jerking causes some fuck to do a terrorism. Online incels have caused people to go nuts and kill women for being just that. You gotta be careful with hate.
one specific company's cars do not use lidar, and can thus be confused by salt
EDIT: oops I thought it was reading the salt as a physical obstacle, but no, it reads it as a road marking. oops.
They still use vis spectrum cameras.
yeah i just had a small brain fart, nothing to worry about
