This is on AP (NoA, really), 75 mph into a truck, no braking, no warnings of any kind.
The firmware is 2021.4.18.2, accident in June 2021.
radar-equipped car (but hw2.5 of course)
the truck was seen by both the radar and also could be clearly observed by the narrow camera from quite a distance away (pictures are spaced 1 second apart)
In fact it was when I reviewed the narrow cam video footage I saw there's a guy with a flashlight behind the truck (I hope they were not hurt and ran away as fast as they could after seeing Tesla not braking)
This footage is pretty interesting to apply current NNs to and I hope I can talk @rice_fry into cooperating on this front to see hw3 detections from various releases
(I know it's tedious, but it's such an interesting showcase to demonstrate whatever progress there is)
Interesting that this same car also got into another accident in 2019 and the footage is still there. Not as extreme as the final one of course.
Aftermath picture
also link to main camera footage from streamable that should be less compressed: streamable.com/3vbhmo
Interesting addition I saw on reddit.
Here's a somewhat similar unlit situation filmed (very irresponsibly if you ask me) in California.
You can count the percentage of drivers that avoided the situation yourself (ADAS use unknown obviously).

Holiday weekends are great for some fun are not they?
Worked with @rice_fry on the Tesla depth perception NN.
Remember that stuff in ?
Well, the cars actually have a depth perceiving net inside indeed. though unlike what's shown it's a lot lower res
A whopping 160x120 grid (so 1/8th of the native camera resolution) but hey those are actual 3D points in space. I don't know how to make a 3D video, so just visualizing "distance" as "brighter = closer" on the scale of 5 to 62 meters (the actual limit of the output):
Here's the corresponding time-synced video to better understand what you are looking at.
So in regards to the recent Chinese crash with video where AP exits roadway in sharp turns:
I long planned to do a demo of a similar condition but always forgot and I guess better late than never.
It's actually really easy to reproduce m.weibo.cn/status/4655186…
Find an (empty!) road with a sharp curve and point autopilot at it. For most safety ensure there's an extra space outside the curve so you can catch the car before it crashes into stuff and boom!
(this is 2021.4.18.3 btw)
Remember to always pay attention when on AP!
If you enable debug mode you see the car actually outputs various alerts before the eventual "take over we are giving up" (weird there was no diseng chime btw)
and it knows it cannot take the turn safely at those speeds, in fact it tries to lower speed but definitely not enough
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video must be good for a couple gazillions.
With all the debates about how suitable @Tesla cabin cam for driver monitoring, I will let you form your own opinion.
It does look like "full color" RGB based on the red elements
I was a bit surprised that in a city at night there's enough environment lighting to make DM seem very workable.
All these videos are full resolution, 36 fps as Tesla uses them.
With all the brouhaha about Ford Mach-E, I decided to test-drive one.
Local Ford dealer had one in stock even (Ford >> Audi)
I got a salesperson that was first time in the car so we had to use manual a lot (Tesla >> Ford)
Manual depiction of UI does not match the actual UI 🤷♂️
The good:
I feel like it's ready to replace model 3/Y If you don't need to ever drive outside the city you live in.
Not as fast as a Tesla but plenty enough for light-to-light hopping.
Has wifi hotspot built-in ($$$)
Bird-eye view that actually works and turns on as you approach
Ford ADAS is on par with Tesla BAP. Better for lane-changes where it lets you to take over without disengagement, but a bit flip-floppy in the lane in turns as if steering angle is severely limited.
10 seconds between steering nags at 80mph
