On Instagram (belongs to Meta, recognized as extremist and banned in Russia) a video of user jasonbcarr, who conducted an unusual experiment, went viral.
He put on a T-shirt with a STOP sign and ran it on the street. Several times on the roads, Waymo’s driverless taxis constantly stopped near the guy.
This was the case in three of the four tests conducted. In one case, the street turned out to be too dark, and the “driver” simply did not recognize the “sign.” Here they are:
Built-in AI countries that in front of them is not a person, but a road sign. Following the instructions of the sign, the vehicle stopped in front of it.
At the same time, the question arises about the safety of AI. For example, what if a car passes a person with clothes and appears on a speed limit sign? And the figure on it will be higher than with an average flow. Then the car will go faster, which can lead to an accident. [AutoMoto]
