Meant to say that that car is in no way, shape or form capable of lane assist, let alone self drive
White paint should work too!
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!
What types of cameras do these self-driving cars use? I’m just saying, there’s got to be a way to confuse and redirect them that’s invisible to the naked human eye.
I motion we organise and send every self-driving shitty excuse for a train to one massive pit.
Googled it and: Standard AI cameras do not see ultraviolet (UV) or infrared (IR) light natively because manufacturers install a physical blocking filter over the image sensor
So I think it would take hacking their software somehow or poisoning their map data to do what you suggest.
I mean most general cameras have an IR and UV filter.
However many can detect NIR wavelengths like 850nm which are nearly undetectable by humans.
There was a video a while ago where a tesla took a hard 90° left turn at 60 mph directly into a tree ostensibly because of some road repair work that looked like painted lines when the sun hit them right.
Anything black and reflective, something that reflects IR or just an IR emitter like from a TV remote.
I keep wanting to make a thing that will shoot small shredded bits of aluminum foil. I have the feeling this could make a self driving car stop if it uses radar.
I have a car with some limited self-driving capability, I should just try it out.
why invisible? just use salt magic
Never underestimate the power of a well cast low level spell.
I want to believe.
“Self driving cars only have to be smarter than the average human”
Cue Star Trek Enterprise s1 opening theme
They often are
That is obviously very far sub-average, but hilarious (and kind of sad?) nonetheless.
I think self driving cars are about as intelligent as a minorly sub average 12 year old, in a near panic.
Which, yeah, that’s progress and it will get better, but is nowhere near responsibly deployable in comparison to the average human being, and nowhere near even a decent driver. The only thing self driving cars have for them, ignoring the ethical disasters, shocking amount of fascism, rampant destructive corruption, and signs of an increasingly unhealthy dystopian society, and only focusing on the technological side, is that they’re relatively consistent.
Which, effectively, could be considered for an emergency backup in a case where a human literally cannot drive and the benefits outweigh the risks.
Like, yeah, it’s getting there, but so is society at becoming a utopia. The difference THERE is that we can’t just not implement society, but for some reason, all the shittiest stuff humanity has ever encountered is being given infinite chances right now.
Maybe I should start a side gig as witch
Start a main gig as a witch. It’s fun up here ;)
I’ll get you my pretty, and your little car too!
