What's the best training environment for autonomous vehicles? "Bad driving is probably playing a bigger role in the fatality rate than larger cars and longer journeys." This article from Financial Times and John Burn-Murdoch about the crazy US traffic we've all (?) experienced made me think about the development of autonomous vehicles. Companies like Tesla and Waymo are preferably training their autonomous systems on US roads, and now I understand why! It's because they want their systems to be trained under the most difficult circumstances. or It's because a sub-par autonomous driving system can excel among bad US drivers, and it's the fastest way to market acceptance. Either way, as Europeans, we should be grateful that the systems are trained on US roads, where many distracted drivers create fringe situations that would never happen in other parts of the world. Car manufacturers send their development teams to the Nordics to test winter behavior before sending them to the US to get road rage training data... #autonomuscars #fsd #ai #automotive https://lnkd.in/dU7MqW2y
