Combat Theory posted:It's a good thing HV batteries grow on trees with a minimal environmental footprint. Tesla really disrupting the industry. there are so very many things about this that are amazing, 1) the "battery pack" is a sled under the car, so they're basically having to dismantle the entire car to swap it out 2) there are good odds that they have no idea what battery packs are good or not, because if they did they would have caught this in production/QA at least, so non-zero odds on getting a bad replacement pack too 3) given the cost of these things, what are the odds they won't be refurbing recalled packs and pushing them back into the channel? these are the most expensive component of the vehicle after all

klafbang posted:GPS is ancient. 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. i'm currently researching modern GPS receivers for a dumb project and as far as I can tell that 10cm stuff only works if you're staying perfectly still, once you start moving it shoots up to the usual like, 1-3m

RTK gps can easily get under 10cm with person level movement; this is how surveyors lay out roads and stuff accurately. Still need somewhat expensive L1/L2/L5 antennas tho.

put a good IMU and some there's no technical reason that you can't know where precisely in the lane the car is. I see more and more bulldozers with antenna masts on their buckets so they can be told precisely where to dig/move. This requires either an expensive subscription, expensive hardware, or a stationary base station (or all three) which is not really applicable for a car going 70mph at an arbitrary location.

you really see that as a practical solution for lane keeping?

# ? Feb 4, 2019 17:36 |

oh, of course not, way too much infrastructure or cost. Even then, it all goes out the window when there's construction.

also all my experience with GPS is in UAV's which p much always have a good view of the sky. Car in a tunnel or surrounded by buildings? Accuracy goes out the door in a hurry.

just replace lane markers with thin internet connected separation walls that automatically fold down when a car wants to switch lane im the next elon skum give me money

gps for lanekeeping only really makes sense if you assume that the road layout never temporarily changes usually when the roads are so covered with salt that you can barely see the lane lines, the lane layout has also changed because the plows often don't bother to clear the entire road so some lanes are partially or completely covered in snow for a while winter weather introduces all kinds of weird complications for self-driving vehicles. humans can easily reason their way through that stuff, but it confuses the hell out of a computer program which assumes that everything follows set rules

Magnetic signals are never distorted by large hunks of metal continuously accelerating and decelerating within inches of their source, no sirree Besides likely being horrendously expensive to maintain and easily vandalized, who's giving up their segment of the EM spectrum to car nav?
