In the piece — titled “Can You Fool a Self Driving Car?” — Rober found that a Tesla car on Autopilot was fooled by a Wile E. Coyote-style wall painted to look like the road ahead of it, with the electric vehicle plowing right through it instead of stopping.
The footage was damning enough, with slow-motion clips showing the car not only crashing through the styrofoam wall but also a mannequin of a child. The Tesla was also fooled by simulated rain and fog.
Shit that’s pretty decent. That looks like a ready fit car part, I wonder what vehicle it’s for. Kind of sucks that it only faces One direction but at that price four them would not be a big deal
I can’t find what it goes to, but it looks like Baidu and the US company Zoox use them in their robotaxis.
Edit: Lixiang models L9, L8, and L7 use that sensor.
In the one picture it has a MAC address in the top so it has some type processor in there with networking.
Shame it still just robotaxis. Then again maybe That’s where we’re headed and everybody just rents all their rides. Kind of disappointing really.
