That diagram is very helpful. I am finding it hard to believe the human driver would miss seeing the semi if he was paying attention and I can see how the sensors missed the truck if the sensor was too low to detect the trailer between the wheels.

I just don’t see the need for this for personal transportation. If they want to build separate lanes for trucks and have them autopilot, fine. I just don’t think we need to live in a world where some cars have people paying no attention and are relying solely on sensors to keep them and everyone around them alive

I don't understand why people are blaming tesla. Autopilot didn't kill him, his inability to look where he was going did.

You can tell they’re a bunch of fuckin amateurs because it’s not a YETI

We haven’t made it down to Road Atlanta yet as we’re NE based. Farthest I’ve been down was VIR back when oak tree still stood. Hopefully one day we’ll make it down there. There is definitely a different mentality in the circle track world.

What a good sport!

I’d have to agree with you. I just spent the weekend at a NASA event and that shit doesn’t happen there. I understand heat of the moment and all that but if you make it a habit of being trouble then you’re just not welcome back.

Probably because aspiring NASCAR driver.

I had a neighbor who had stood in NM watching the test, the Army had told him they were at a safe distance. He had all kinds of medical issues, bleed from every orifice but the VA said it had nothing to do with his exposure.

Reminded me of this picture:

You done did good

Congratulations Turbolence88 on the COTD! My gift to you is this lovely lady, who will attempt to deliver this hopefully turbo’d zoom zoom machine once she’s finished examining the paint on the roof.
