27001. (a) The driver of a motor vehicle when reasonably necessary
to insure safe operation shall give audible warning with his horn.Honk for the other vehicle in a parking space?
Who is in danger?If they had half a brain, Waymo could geofence and time gate the honking so it won’t occur in those lots.
Despite the inconvenience, he tells me he’s still a fan of the autonomous vehicle company and uses the cars on a regular basis.
looks like there’s no reason to fix them, then
Untitled Goose game ruined me. I think of a different kind of honk any time I see the word.
🪿 *honk
Seems pretty relaxing to me https://www.youtube.com/live/h53xlXu_6C4
This reminds me a lot of AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robot), except the Omron ones I have been working with are super dumb. I wish they would honk or give better indication that they are incapable of parking or going around each other. Those Waymo cars at least seem to be able to figure it out.
Not to say all AMRs are that bad. I have seen some really good systems, but it all comes down to the software and configuration. I know this is Fuck Cars, but the technology that goes into those Waymo is an amazing feat of engineering. I am amused that they didn’t think too hard on the sound pollution and disturbances.
Why don’t these communicate with each other?
Lidar, 29 cameras, radar and high end CPU and GPU but they can only communicate with other through honking?
Really?
Is this a security feature?
I strongly doubt they’re communicating through honks to each other, it sounds like a safety feature that needs tuning to me.
Great News: Next update will feature binary encoded honking communication /s
At least this is something that can be fixed with code, while the stupidity of human drivers is forever haha
I hope we’ll soon see single seat driverless cars that are about the size of velomobiles or the podbike.
PS: A while back my PC would start up in the middle of the night for shitty windows updates and wake me up. Things like that can REALLY make you cranky or angry.
