News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Lol. This is the kind of comment that I don't expect to see in hackernews, but then again it's about Tesla, so all reasonableness goes out the window.

> if you look at this video and compare the amount of stuff the camera catches AND processes, with the things you are seeing & processing, it's really hard for me to see me being better at it than a computer.

Such a handwavy argument is worth exactly squat. What does this mean? Brains are hugely complicated machines which we barely understand in any reasonable detail. You see a handful of lines and text across the screen and it's sufficient to make you go ":o"? Enough to conclude it must be better than a brain?

So far I only see a world of promises and predictions of "self-driving cars are 5 years away", but no real tangible hard evidence that self-driving cars are better than humans. Point me to that, not to a fancy video, before we can have a discussion.

I think he's referring to selective attention. Can't comment on the validity of this "study", but I recall it catching me off guard the first time I saw it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJG698U2Mvo

Self driving cars are already here, just not widely distributed
