It's not a schizo conspiracy you fucking moron, they literally couldn't make the cars stop getting into accidents so there's always a dedicated "controller" monitoring the driving (i.e. some dude remote controlling it).

If you think fully autonomous self driving is real, you need to watch some youtube videos dude.

This is from this year. Literally all of the driverless taxi companies use remote control.

>>203313383
>According to Vogt and Cruise, the company's robotaxis are only being remotely assisted between two to four percent of the time, and then only "in complex urban environments." Rather than disputing the report, Vogt added that the 2.5-to-5-mile figure refers to how frequently Cruise robotaxis initiate a remote assistance session, but few of those sessions ever reach an actual human.
>"These sessions are triggered proactively (i.e when path is obstructed, identifying objects) and 80 percent of the time are resolved autonomously by the AV," a Cruise spokesperson told us.

They aren't either, this isn't about making profits but being first to market and growing fast. This is the same business model Uber employs. Amazon didn't make a profit for over a decade and a half either. You are clearly naive or unaware how these tech-based taxi companies work.

It's pretty delusional to dismiss WSJ as "clickbait", not to mention that you're clearly moving the goalpost since you started out not even knowing that they have remote operators. You can look up autonomous levels yourself, if you're not being disingenuous. Currently the best car companies (i.e. not Tesla, lol) are at level "2.5", arguably some are claiming to be at level 3. They're very much at the "driver assistance" phase still.

It's all smoke and mirrors to get people to put billions into the car industry, but there's a reason why VW had to lay off like 50,000 people earlier this year and that the Cariad part of the VW group was restructured.

>>203313745
Self-driving cars do not exist. They use some autonomous driving features, but they have an army of low-paid operators to step in at literally any moment because self driving cars can't even fucking make a left turn in an intersection.
>>
>>203313903

1) Driverless != self driving
2) Number of trips is not an indicator of whether they actually are self-driving.

Lmao, sure thing. Just get investors to poor billions into this, it's totally working and not just hype!!
>>
>>203314065
Because they require a shit ton of mapping of the specific city's roads to work. If Waymo was really just some dude with an xbox controller like you're suggesting then they would be expanding much more rapidly, not spending 8 years on Phoenix to still not have the entire city available.
>>
>>203314158
It's not just one dude with an xbox controller, it's literally multiple people per car.

>they would be expanding much more rapidly,
Would they? The business model is clearly not scalable, so they are pretty much 100% dependent on investor money. It's currently a subsidiary of Paypal. Previously Google, but Google [the company that maps all the roads] sold them off for some reason. Hmmm, why?
>>
>>203314148
What the fuck are you saying? Do you unironically think every Waymo has someone driving the car from some center? Just because they have remote driving in case of some unexpected issue doesn't mean that it isn't self driving as a default.

Who is denying they have remote controllers? Obviously they will in case something goes wrong. Also if they were just 100% fake and controlled by someone why would they do dumb shit like honk at eachother randomly? Sounds pretty stupid.

>>203314398
What the hell aren't you understanding? All of these cars clearly have some degree of self-driving capabilities (I never claimed otherwise), but the fact that you need an army of remote operators to be ready to step in at any moment (with some of the robotaxi companies claiming that they have 1.5 employees per car + needing to step in every 2.5 to 5 mile) CLEARLY demonstrates that calling this "self driving" is a meme.

>>203314561
Because they aren't "self driving". They're at the driver assistance stage, i.e. autonomous level 2 or 3 (5 is actual self driving). They literally need someone to intervene at every 5 miles or so. If you were driving and needed some guy to intervene every five mile to prevent you from running someone over, you'd lose your fucking driver's license.

They're marketed and hyped as "driverless taxis" when there clearly are drivers operating them. Just admit that it's tech companies trying to hype up their shit when it's clearly not at the level that normal people expect. Again, if these cars really were driving by themselves 98% of the time, you and I would have this functionality in our own cars and we'd be using it all the time; but we're not. Because it isn't that advanced. It's still at the driver assistance stage.

It's vaporware at the moment. It's literally just hype. You're being sold something that does not yet exist (and probably wont for at least a decade) and everyone is getting fooled into thinking that it's more advanced than it really is.

This is an "emperor's new clothes" situation.

How is it more efficient to employ more people to do the same task? These companies literally need more than one person to operate a single car, instead of just one driver.

A:
10 drivers, 10 cars
B:

I'm pretty sure B would require less people. The major disadvantage of robotaxis right now is that uber wagies are extremely cheap gig employees, and all those sensors and training are pretty expensive. It's not commercially viable for most places. Yet.
>>
>>203317810
Read the articles posted earlier ITT, employees at robotaxi companies like Cruise literally say that there are 1.5 operators per car and that they need to intervene every 2.5 to 5 miles. Does this sound like efficient, self driving to you?
>>
>>203317844
No, but the idea is to reduce interventions until it makes commercial sense, cars have to be exposed and trained in real world conditions for this to ever happen.
>>
>>203317810
that's not possible
you need at the very least one operator or whatever you want to call it per vehicle
you can't have one person handling multiple vehicles because even if they don't need assistance most of the time, if two or more need assistance at the same time then you're fucked
>>
>>203317956
The problem is that these things are being pitched as "self driving" already, to lure in investment money, selling the idea as a profitable robotaxi gig etc., when reality is that it's just a glorified data mining operation. And most people get fooled by it. It's the same when Amazon or I don't remember which company it was, opened a warehouse without a checkout counter and claimed to use cameras and AI to calculate prices, when in reality they just used a bunch of people from Bangladesh and India to manually watch video feeds and calculate by hand.
https://www.business-standard.com/companies/news/amazon-s-just-walk-out-checkout-tech-was-powered-by-1-000-indian-workers-124040400463_1.html

As mentioned previously, self driving capabilities of cars are nowhere near what is being claimed by various Silicon Valley CEOs; most cars are at level 2, which means that they have driver assistance stuff.

Your argument is that the service is completely fake and they have one person per car driving it with an xbox controller, which is completely nonsensical. If we have less sophisticated systems that work pretty well, why would they need to do this for a more sophisticated one?
If you think their whole service is run by indians with xbox controllers then you're free to prove it to the investors, i guess.
>>
>>203318314
>Your argument is that the service is completely fake
I never once called it "completely fake", but I am calling out the bullshit. It's not at all self-driving, as this has a very specific meaning. Pic related. Most autonomous driving systems today are, as stated previously, at around "2.5" (at best at level 3).

>and they have one person per car driving it with an xbox controller, which is completely nonsensical.
But they literally do, since someone are required to monitor the ride at all time, and the companies themselves even report on how frequently these operators need to intervene.

> If we have less sophisticated systems that work pretty well, why would they need to do this for a more sophisticated one?
But they don't work "pretty well", they actually don't work very well at all.

>If you think their whole service is run by indians with xbox controllers then you're free to prove it to the investors, i guess.
This isn't even a secret, I don't know why you are arguing from incredulity when there are literal news articles and youtube videos ITT literally demonstrating that these robotaxi companies employ an army of operators that are ready to intervene whenever the cars do something retarded (which is quite often).

They're literally Level 3 and over, according to your chart. Teslas are 3, robotaxis are 4. You can't even read.
>since someone are required to monitor the ride at all time
This would always be the case even with the most amazing self-driving system in the world, someone would need to be responsible for the cars when something goes wrong (it always will).

They really aren't. You're fucking delusional. They aren't self driving robotaxis, as they have remote operators that intervene all the fucking time.

>There are plenty of videos of teslas driving over long stretches with no interruptions,

Read the two articles. For the promo videos, they literally program the route ahead of time, like where to stop, where to start etc.


>I'm talking about user videos.
I thought you meant the promo videos. The user videos are of course not preprogrammed, but you'll notice that most of them are on highways and driving under conditions that are simple. Whenever city traffic is introduced, they tend to make bad choices etc, requiring the driver to intervene.

It literally doesn't, the waymo engineer is saying that they are WORKING on a level 4 system.

>I've already explained to you why the whole human supervision makes it not autonomous thing is bullshit, because autonomous cars will always need some degree of supervision.
This is literally the thing that makes them "not self driving". Why is this so fucking hard to understand?

Basically everyone's dream of just sitting in a car and closing your eyes, which is what everyone really means when they talk about self driving cars, will most likely not happen at least in a decade, if ever. I think you are being deliberately disingenuous now.

>Not talking about promo videos, don't care.
Fair enough.

>Like i said, it works fine for what it is.
Yes, it works fine as a ADAS (advanced driver-assistance system), self-driving not so much.

>Still impressive considering the limited sensor suite.
This was extremely impressive in the beginning. Sadly for Tesla this is probably the biggest factor holding them back right now.

Technically no. Drivers still look at their phone screen and let Jesus take the wheel, so in effect the cars are driverless.

I would imagine they are since that's literally what their system is. The article is about whether or not a level 4 system can be considered fully autonomous, the system is unquestionably level 4.
>This is literally the thing that makes them "not self driving". Why is this so fucking hard to understand?
They are self-driving because they're driving by themselves most of the time and there's no driver present in the car. They're not Level 5 because they don't work across all different situations, they only work in limited places. Whether or not it's "self-driving" is a different question. (It is, though). Not sure why this is difficult to understand for you.
>Yes, it works fine as a ADAS (advanced driver-assistance system)
It's hardly that when it's capable of driving, not just assisting. It's not perfect and doesn't work everywhere, but it does drive the car, it's not just a lane and brake assist.

What are they writing on the car? I've never been able to make sense of graffiti.

It's literally not when you have an army of remote operators that constantly monitor the car and must be ready to take over as soon as the car needs to take a left turn in an intersection or drive the car when there's a reroute due to construction work. This is NOT level 3/4, in which you can mostly not pay attention at all and the car will notify you when it needs attention.

>Whether or not it's "self-driving" is a different question. (It is, though).
Constantly supervising and needing to be alert 100% of the time is not self driving, simple as. You're just being fooled by the fact that you don't need to literally hold on to the steering wheel at all times and/or the fact that the driver/operator is sitting remote. Which btw is probably a marketing strategy, it's much easier to pass off the car as being autonomous when the passengers can't see or register how often an operator actually has to intervene.

>It's hardly that when it's capable of driving, not just assisting. It's not perfect and doesn't work everywhere, but it does drive the car, it's not just a lane and brake assist.
You're very clearly overestimating what Tesla FSD/Autopilot is actually capable of doing. It's not self-driving, it's driver assistance. You are still required to pay attention at all times and react as if you were driving yourself.

"If a driver does not respond appropriately to a request to intervene, the car can stop safely." - Level 4. It's the level Waymo operates at.
>Constantly supervising and needing to be alert 100% of the time is not self driving
The system is alert, the operators are only responding to a request for a assistance when it's called by the system. What you're describing isn't the case at all.
>driver/operator
Not the same thing.
>You are still required to pay attention at all times and react as if you were driving yourself.
"Driver must appropriately respond to a request to intervene." Level 3
It's level 2.7 if you want to be really pedantic about it.

Yes, Tesla FSD is borderline level 3. Hence "2.5" as stated earlier. But I'm fine with calling it low-end level 3 as well.

As for Waymo, you're beyond delusional if you don't think there is at least one operator monitoring a car at ALL FUCKING TIMES. How the fuck are you going to react in time if you think the car submits a fucking request for support that some dude looks at, at an unspecified, later time. They are clearly required to constantly monitor the cars, and their setup with 120 degrees field of view monitors + full control over steering, braking, acceleration demonstrates that. For comparison, most agree that an actual level 4 autonomous car wouldn't necessarily have steering wheel or pedals AT ALL.

You are simply getting fooled by the fact that they've moved the driver outside of the car.

I would imagine there's one guy monitoring a few cars and that will always be the case, just as there's people monitoring trains. You couldn't drive a car from a distance even if you had full control of it, the delay would be horrible, let alone expect them to 'react' to anything. It's there to get the cars unstuck and back on their routines.
>an actual level 4 autonomous car wouldn't necessarily have steering wheel or pedals AT ALL.
They don't? This is physical wheels and pedals. Off course the cars would always have some means of manual override, even though you're not expected to drive with that.
>they've moved the driver outside of the car.
They haven't, as i've told you already, a driver is not the same as an operator. What you're expecting is a system that somehow drives AND oversees a whole fleet of cars even when something goes wrong with them. It's a robotaxi from science fiction. Frankly it's not waymo's problem that people can't distinguish fiction from reality and what ultimately matters is whether or not they can develop something profitable in the end.
