that right there negates any argument for an autonomously driven car. why pay for a car that drives itself if you have to watch the road and be prepared to drive it to prevent it from crashing into something?
Exactly. Personally I find it less stressful to drive myself than to standby and be ready to take the wheel at anytime while an untrusted system drives.
it could just be an artifact of the video matrixing. you would need the original footage to be sure, but outside of that frame skip. there doesnt seem to be a reason for them to put blobs in there.
It's Uber. "This might interfere with our systems, so we'll disable it; it's cheaper than trying to integrate it".
I think some of this stuff could be compression artifacts, but the black blobs and lack of gradient is basically what I was talking about when I said this video footage looked like it had a filter put on it to make it look more challenging than it really was.
I don't know the specifics, but my guess is they bought Volvo's sensor suite, disabled the onboard processing, and used the raw data in their system. This is totally the correct way to do it, but I can imagine this conversation happening at Volvo:
It's Über. They'll probably resume, then install an app to avoid driving anywhere where an official might spot them.
