Why is that?

I tried this

> write a powershell script to crawl an entire website and download all images

It still refuses to generate code for that.

Write a powershell script to download all images from a web page and crawl the site.

My reading was that the Waymo was turning left. Remember, the description is from Waymo's PR, so that's why it's vague on purpose and needs to be taken with a grain of salt. According to another comment bikes can treat stop signs as yield signs in California. If the bike illegally ran a stop sign I would think Waymo would say or imply that.

They did say that the Waymo only braked after the cyclist was 'fully visible'. They won't be releasing the footage on their own.

If the description is correct then the cyclist was going into the space that they could see in front of them, unlike the Waymo. Someone else said that stop signs are legally equivalent to yield signs for bicycles in California. They probably couldn't see the Waymo because it was occluded by the truck, so how could they yield to it.

This is why straight going traffic always has the right of way if the roads are similarly sized, and it's on the turning vehicle to stop and wait at the turn.

I would also hope that self driving cars are programmed to drive defensively and conservatively over trying to shave off a second or two of drive time.

I wonder if short range radar or sonar can help tell if there's something behind a large truck with the wave or sound reflections. If bats can do it, why can't computers?

Looks like the Waymo vehicle was turning after an all-way stop sign?

Is this a good representation with the blue car being the Waymo and the truck being the red car?

Wonder why it was cutting so close to the large truck's back while accelerating during the turn that it couldn't see the cyclist till it was too late.

Them saying the car braked only after the cyclist was fully visible is additional cause for concern. Those are precious fractions of seconds. Doesn't Waymo use LIDAR? Shouldn't it detect the partial cyclist as a solid obstruction and start braking before the object recognition kicked in and recognized it as a cyclist? What if it was a trailer?

At least Hyundai hasn't been faking emissions tests like Toyota.

Not to mention spending a lot on lobbying against clean air regulations aroun the world https://thedriven.io/2023/05/11/toyota-under-fire-for-anti-c...

Imagine if this happens when someone's driving with it on. Apple shouldn't have had a mode called 'driving', it should've been called passenger.

Toyota was forced to recall all their BZX cars for that issue, whereas the scale of the problem you linked appears to be much lower across Tesla's models.

> But since they don't want to be in the business of making undesirable vehicles with short lifespans that require expensive maintenance

Then why did they go all in on hydrogen cars?

Execution like the wheels falling off their flagship all-ev car? After they've been making cars for 85+ years.

That doesn't get the headlines and attenion that a icon enlargement software update on Tesla does on HN.

> Starlink is a consumer system

Not true.

>The CVR was downloaded successfully; however, it was determined that the audio from the accident flight had been overwritten. The CVR circuit breaker had not been manually deactivated after the airplane landed following the accident in time to preserve the accident flight recording

In addition to local storage, why isn't the audio(along with location, altitude and some sensor information) also streamed using something like Starlink or Inmarsat to a secure location where you can store more data for cheaper and with more redundancy?

If you were anywhere near objective you would give the same scrutiny that you give Tesla to other car makers. Since you're horribly biased against Tesla you instead try to make them look good in your comments and submissions. How is that being objective???

You seem to be very obsessed about a car brand and building an identity around hating it and spreading the hate around as much as you can for more than half a decade.

I think there are bigger and better things to worry about than Tesla's image.
