Developers of self -driving vehicles Normally don’t like to talk about “television” – when human guidance or robots drive cars from afar. It can feel like a dirty secret. A selfish vehicle should not work, okay, Autonomous?
But experts say telecom, at least now, is an important part of any robot taxi service, including Tesla’s robotics. Tech, though impressive, is still in development, and autonomous systems still need humans to guide them in less common and especially sticky road conditions. In addition, a bedside principle of safety engineering is that every system requires backup-for new robots that include two tonnes of EVs that run themselves on public roads.
And yet, with the launch of Tesla’s long -awaited (and too late) robotics service in the city of Austin, only days, the public still knows nothing more about their television system. Tesla has published a television job where it states that the character will be responsible for the preparation of this application “which our remote operators use to interface with our cars and robots”, an application where these operators will allow them to move from the latest to the world. “
The dangerous thing is that several government spokespersons, who represent the city of Austin, Texas, and the top road safety regulator in the United States, did not answer questions about Tesla’s television. In fact, Austin and the Texas Department of Transportation handed over all our questions about Tesla technology to the company itself. Tesla, who ended its public relations team in 2020, did not answer the wired questions.
Last month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the country’s Road Safety Watch Dog, wrote a letter to Tesla, among other things, Tesla plans to use telecom. How will its human staff be expected to monitor, monitor or intervene when its systems are on the road? The government asked the company to respond by June 19, which will happen After According to Bloomberg reporting earlier this month, the service will begin on June 12. NHTSA will not respond to repeated wired inquiries what he knows about Tesla’s television.
Los Angeles Times It has been reported that humans used television to connect robot optimus during the first incident of “Cyberkib” in Los Angeles, and when Optimus showed his new hands a month later, grabbing tennis hair in Mid Air, an engineer of the company admitted that humans also used telecommunication. The company also has a permit to test autonomous vehicles in California along with the driver behind the wheel. The state has a very strict rules than Texas, and they need some kind of “communication link” between vehicles and remote operators to test, so it is likely that the company has some kind of system.
Austin Transportation and Public Works spokesman Crystal Corillus wrote in an email, that Tesla’s television operating in the city does not shed lightly, but the city works with AV (independent vehicle) companies and information about information and information about the information, before receiving the training of the first respondents. “Texas Department of Transport Spokesman Laura Butterbrod said in an e -mail statement:” Texas law allows AV testing and operations on Texas Roadways as long as they meet the needs of safety and insurance like every other vehicle on the road. “
