Rein - what you do to guide a wagon, cart, etc. pulled by animals.
You hand the Tesla the reins. Don't feel too bad...the entire internet does not know this.
I don't understand why this seems to be so hard in comparisons to the complex realities of partially self driving. Its like the calculations are off and then it re-calculates off again from the recalculations and recalculations off again and finally just gives up. I don't get the problem.
It's like an auto transmission...in an urban setting, I have to turn left, then right into an alley or driveway halfway down the block. The transmission upshifts into third, fruitlessly, a split second before I start to decelerate to turn right. In my manual-transmission car, I know I'm turning right, so I just keep it in second. Enabling the car to do things better than a person can do them is pretty easy...having the car know the driver's intentions and do a better job of managing those things is a way different question, and in some cases impossible.
Can't we at least start by making it tougher to get a license, so we can keep the total inepts off the road and stop making gigantic investments of time and money to enable the vehicle to do these dismayingly difficult-to-robotize things that a good driver doesn't need any help with?
First off, cameras plural?? As in a surround viewing system (birds eye view) that is not an option on any Tesla? Or the backup camera and forward facing camera?...
Second, the system uses ultrasonic sensors only. No cameras or radars involved.
