lol I was going to say if you're going for that look at least get some original Moon Eyes but then lo and behold https://www.mooneyesusa.com/MOON-Disc-s/211.htm fair play to the ME guys grabbing some of that dumb Tesla money.

As someone who lives in Wisconsin, I knew right away that snow would probably nuke any self-driving system. GPS, at least non-military grade, isn't reliable enough to actually be used, because Waze on my phone will do dumb poo poo from time to time.

??? how would gps even work for lane keeping? even with multiple receivers something the size of a car is not going to have enough spatial resolution to figure out what side of the road it's on reliably, let alone what lane it's in

lane keeping is 100% always going to be an optical system unless we start building roads with magnetic lane markers or something. in theory the nav system would have to do the same kind of fudging our thinkmeats do when the lane markers aren't visible, except the very state-of-the-art autonomous nav system has like 3-frame object permanence

your consumer gps won't be able to accurately tell you what direction of a divided highway you're on in the middle of kansas good luck using it to figure out what lane you're in in the middle of an urban canyon

It would be interesting if some smaller country actually managed to get self-driving cars in the near future by embedding markers in all the roads. I guess if the country was small enough and had the right weather they might be able to get self-driving cars using lidar more easily too, though. Right now everyone is just waiting for the whole self-driving car problem to be solved, but if that turns out to not be possible in the near future maybe there will be more interest in other more limited approaches. mystes fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Feb 3, 2019 |

oh they have. they put the cars on large metal rails, it's a bit like scalextric. it's pretty wacky stuff, the cars are enlarged for better carrying capacity and travel in linked convoys.

iospace posted:Apologies, I meant that as a general purpose, why self-driving as a whole sucks thing, though I'm sure you could map the lanes to GPS if you had a precise enough unit? gps accuracy ranges from feet to yards depending on how many satellites your receiver can see. a few yards one way or another doesn’t matter as much for an ocean going vessel. it matters a lot when dealing with travel lanes that are smaller than the potential deviation. cellular triangulation helps get closer, but any satellite location will be inadequate for lane keeping. in order for self driving cars to really work at all, the processing all needs to happen in the vehicle itself. gps can be a single type of input, but it should never be relied upon by itself to determine location, let alone when you’re hurtling down a highway in 3 tons of steel and lithium batteries surrounded by other similar hunks of rapidly moving metals.

It could in principle be achieved with Galileo (EU GPS) or BeiDou (Chinese GPS). Or by combining data from multiple networks (also including GLONASS, Russian GPS which is even worse than GPS). Galileo has accuracy down to 1 cm, but only for paying customers, and BeiDou around 10 cm. Also, all of those rely on the timing of signals, so the accuracy will be out of whack during bad weather (EM waves travel faster in air than in water or air with water) or cities (EM waves gets blocked and reflected by concrete).

It's a good thing HV batteries grow on trees with a minimal environmental footprint. Tesla really disrupting the industry. E: bought a little new jewelry for my bike today and was reminded that the entire process of ordering parts made in Italy, for a Japanese bike, over a German reseller, took less time and effort than getting some pics of the used tesla you wanna buy and already deposited 2500 dollars for.
