I’ve been using Waze for the past year but I just looked it up and realised that it’s also owned by Google. I tried using OsmAnd yesterday twice, but the first time I went through a tunnel it just stopped giving directions when I came out of the tunnel (a bug I assume). The second time on the way home, it took me down the wrong exit and I almost ended up at the airport!
Anybody have a better experience with other apps? I’ve just installed Organic Maps so I’ll see how that goes this week.
Sometimes, brakes are not the way.
Sometimes, steer the wheel hard left or right real quick to avoid a side impact.
I guess AI hasn’t ever lived a day in the real world…
The benefit to cars auto braking is that cars can start braking a second before a person, with a much quicker reaction period. Plus we saw in your video how many people driving are paying attention 😅.
But this is not an argument for self driving, cars can and do have this function with the driver also paying attention for the best of both worlds.
I’ve been in a situation before where braking would have been the worst idea.
Like a split second later and I would have slammed into the side of the dude that backed out in front of me.
But I realized that very quickly and decided not to hit the brakes at all. I just quickly jerked my steering wheel to the left, which minimized the damages to the corners of our bumpers.
Ask AI to do that kind of maneuver on the fly and it’ll totally fuck up, because AI doesn’t actually know how to drive…
