AV Failure Discussions and Today's Realities on Public Roads with Human Drivers

In all the discussions about failures of AVs in the real world, we must not forget, why this technology is being developed. We can mention statistics, fatalities, injuries, etc. but a simple video of a line of safety vehicles that alert drivers on highways in bright colors, with flashing lights, well in advance of construction or maintenance areas, and still, humans are regularly missing them. And this is the result that reminds us, why we work on AVs.

Waymo Depot in Aschheim Near Munich With About 40 Vehicles [VIDEO]

Waymo started testing in Munich last week with first images popping up on social media, and now I have gotten videos and more images from the drives and the Waymo depot, which is a few kilometers outside Munich in a town called Aschheim. There are about 40 vehicles on what still seems to be a temporary depot, only guarded by construction fences, not counting the vehicles that were driving through Munich.

Fangchengbao (BYD) Bao-8 using its Huwaei Qiankun 4.1 ADAS

Trying out the premium ADAS feature (5000 per year, or 34000 for lifetime subscription) which covers the full point to point navigation. Tried it over some rural mountain resort town (Sanqingshan).

I’m fairly new to ADAS, and i’m still getting used to using it comfortably in an urban/dense environment. But so far it has been pretty flawlessly and never overwhelmed.

The car is a Fangchengbao Bao-8, which is a full sized off roading SUV

Ps: wife recorded the footage. Had my hands on the wheel throughout. I’m a foreigner living/working in China and this is my car

Insiders: What are you hearing internally about how the RAM crunch is affecting scaling/development plans? How bad is it?

This has to be causing chaos for anyone trying for imminent scale, right? Particularly for consumer ADAS.

Transdev L2 operator questions

I’m in WA and I start training in Arizona in a couple weeks. I’m having second thoughts about it just because of the hours and other factors.

Has anyone here gone through the training?

Is anyone still with the company? If so, how do you still like it?

Training is for 3 weeks, does that mean that we are there for three weeks straight or do they let us go home on the weekends?

Kodiak plans driverless IKEA freight on 219 miles of I-45 after four years of supervised runs

Kodiak says IKEA will be the launch shipper for its driverless long-haul service, planned to begin by the end of 2026. The driverless portion would cover 219 miles of I-45 between the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston areas, within a longer 292-mile delivery route.

The companies have spent four years operating with a safety observer aboard, completing more than 1,300 IKEA loads and logging over 750,000 autonomous miles. The observer has not been removed yet.
