An analysis of how Tesla's vision-only Autopilot system can misidentify motorcycle taillights and why sensor fusion is critical.

With deep learning doing automated feature extraction, it's impossible to know how AI "sees" us. But we have a terrifying guess. Bike in the shop? Traveling?

It may be a contributing factor to recent cases where Tesla Autopilot rear ended motorcycles at night. Thus video has a visualization: link to this video One of these crashes was right by my home, where I rode to work nearly every day prepandemic.

…ic) cars being too quiet when they first begin moving, but that's easy to solve. So I'm not entirely sure about their safety being "proven", but that's largely because the problem domain is enormous and the data somewhat open to interpretation. Overall "proved" seems too certain a word as of now, without narrowly defining the scope. 0 link 1 link to this video…

On “Tesla driver arrested for homicide after running over motorcyclist on Autopilot”

Related video "Tesla Autopilot Crashes into Motorcycle Riders - Why?"0, summarized to: vision used by Tesla seems to process motorcycles differently, and may be incorrectly "assuming" the closer spaced brake lights on a motorcycle is actually a far away car. More details on the homicide here1, which shows the crash happened during daylight hours and the bike resembles a sport bike. This is a different condition than my referenced video (night collisions with cruiser-style motorcycles), but I suspect similar incorrect assumptions by Tesla vision happened. 0 link to this video 1 link
