I'm going to invent a device that you can stick on the back of your car that works kind of like a T-shirt cannon, except it fires a package that inflates into a mylar balloon the size and shape of human, so you can deploy it into the road and stop all the self-driving cars behind you

as we have seen though, self driving cars do not stop for pedestrians

if it worked as intended it would actually be safer since you would pause the intersection for pedestrians and cars would not be able to enter the crosswalks since they aren't human controlled.

It's a picture of a turtle whose shell has been modified (either painted or photoshopped, probably the latter) in a subtle way that causes computer vision systems to interpret it as a rifle

it's a very good example of how these classifiers are not based on anything like a human mind and do not work (or fail) in the ways you would expect. whatever this system is using to identify a turtle, it clearly isn't what people think of as turtle-like features.

Consider this in the context of Tesla computer vision trying to identify things like stop signs or pedestrians

this is right *except* that deep learnings issues with overfit and adversierial attacks is that different from humans. it is a lot harder to grind or adversarial attacks against humans, but stuff like escher drawings messing with the perception of 3d space, the migraine-inducing picture of the woman with the doubled up eyes, and even many forms of camouflage all rely on details of the automatic part of human preception

to a great extent the issue is that humans have higher level mechanisms to deal with confused vision, and we have no clue how to build that without just inventing strong AI, which is unlikely to come out of deep learning

death_intersection.gif comes from these guys
they have a paper that attempts to address failure modes and it's pretty funny


quote:

First, we assume that the intersection manager is able to detect when something has gone wrong. While this is certainly a non-trivial assumption, it is necessary for any reasonable solution. Simply put, the intersection manager cannot react to something it cannot detect. There are two basic ways by which the intersection manager could detect that a vehicle has encountered some sort of problem: the vehicle can inform the intersection manager, or the intersection manager can detect the vehicle directly.
...
Each has advantages and disadvantages, and a combination of the two would most likely be the safest. The specifics of the implementation are beyond the scope of this paper.
...
Because our simulations only deal with collisions, we assume that the colliding vehicle sends a signal and the intersection manager becomes aware of the situation immediately.
...
As we suspected, the average crash log without the safety measures is quite grisly....Figure 3 shows that for both 6-lane cases—fully autonomous and 5% human drivers—the rate of collisions does not abate until over 70 vehicles have crashed. Even a full 60 seconds after the incident begins, vehicles are still colliding.

sure hope the crashed car gets out a warning to the intersection manager in time
also hope it isn't trivial to spoof those warning signals and gently caress poo poo up for the lulz

it's an angle I hadn't heard or thought of but if it's true is there some low level of trains where it's not worth running them? (also surely someone else would have unearthed the minutes from these local meetings with the number of twitter gumshoes)

That's...not a great angle. Companies, competent ones at least, know how to circumvent NIMBY ordinances and policies. It's...not a very complicated process to subvert ordinances and municipal government.

edit: not that doing so is good, of course! the inability to maintain some sort of zoning plan is the wellspring of an often underestimated proportion of harm and inequality in the US. But, I mean, companies know how to do it.
