Similar situation with me uncle when he was far from home on the west side of South Dakota His 2015 Outback came to a halt thanks to the Eyesight system and it was only his car involved. Last time he drove and went into a care facility before passing away a couple years later. Stayed mentally sharp the whole time.

Had my hearing tested. I’m deaf to certain sounds from my right ear. As per wife.

Not to change the subject but seems like the Waymo have a blind spot. Power outage in San Fran and the cars couldn’t compute no stop lights and just blocked traffic.

Then there is New York with the mandated electric school buses freezing the kids to save enough charge to make the route. Is the craziness ending?

In Waymo’s case, the power outage demonstrated that even highly sophisticated systems cannot compensate for the loss of physical infrastructure or electrical signals. Sensors are excellent at interpreting the world as it is, but if a traffic light is out, the AI ​​must either guess or wait, which blocks traffic.
