For example in some places a car making a turn that will cross a bike lane is required to merge into the bike lane before the turn (California and Washington for example). On others (Oregon for example) the car must not do so.
School buses are another good example. On a road with lanes in both directions when do you stop for a school bus heading the opposite way that is stopped with its red lights flashing and stop sign extended?
In some place the answer is "always". In others it depends on how many lanes there and whether or not there is a barrier like a median strip between the two directions.
One approach is to not let your self driving system operate in places where you have not explicitly added all the local and regional rules to your system.
Another approach is to try to learn the area with AI. It sees lots of humans making turns from the bike lane, it makes its turns from the bike lane too.
An issue with that approach is that a lot of humans violate traffic laws, so you have the danger that your self driving system learns to violate traffic laws.
Phrased another way, a benefit of that approach is that if the local conditions necessitate or advise breaking certain traffic rules, your system learns to do so while retaining plausible deniability that it isn't intentional.
The video evidence clearly demonstrates it engaging in a clearly signed illegal maneuver that it should never have even begun. Furthermore, your mischaracterization of the video is significant. The car straightens out having crossed the pedestrian walkway clearly indicated on the dash screen. The dash screen clearly indicates the vehicle intending to continue to travel on the bike-only road.
In addition, this is Tesla's own official curated video [1]. Tesla is the one who decided that failure to obey clearly indicated signs and engaging in a illegal maneuver is the best representation of their product they could muster.
Jeez, AI auto response agents are going to bury the world in astroturf
I am used that demo shows best features of the product…
Maybe they did some market analysis. I find the idea that a shitty autopilot will trigger FSD conversions to be very optimistic.
In the US, drivers kill pedestrians all the time and are barely punished.
Is this the same standard that should be adopted everywhere?
Once you’ve lost three points within three years, you lose your drivers license and will have to retake it. Depending on circumstances you might have a ban for some amount of time(finite or indefinite).
Enough money and any law becomes a suggestion.
Having watched a lot of the Tesla self driving videos. It seems to be getting pretty good but it’s still only at like 98 or 99% reliability what that means is I can’t go to sleep in the car and it needs to get to the point like a waymo where you can just go to sleep in the car.
Then I realised: skynet has begun ... it does not care about humans.
Good reminder that you should always be aware of local traffic laws when you travel, most places in the US are similar but not identical.

I imagine everybody relishes the opportunity to get smeared by entirely false accusations by Tesla promoters with a conflict of interest. You can tell the Tesla promoters running the smear campaigns are worth listening to because their smears keep getting disproved by video evidence.
Please point at any clearly visible video evidence that their whistleblowing is inaccurate. No "shaky cam" "Bigfoot" evidence where you point at something blurry and falsify a claim to fit your desired narrative.
Your job would have been a lot easier if any of those Tesla Promoters accepted the Dawn Project's offer to attempt the tests themselves with their own Tesla's and their own cameras giving them the perfect platform to debunk the Dawn Project's claims. Weird how they all chickened out on that slam dunk.
It's very important to call out these issues AND to do it honestly.
If you disagree, I presented the criteria for evidence needed to support your case. Remember, no shaky cam.
If this is true, and Tesla does not do this, that means that somewhere up in Tesla’s chain of command somebody told their workers not to do this. That is, somebody at Tesla made the decision that Tesla cars should not be able to recognize all the traffic signs. If that is the case, this person should be held criminally liable and Tesla cars should be pulled off the market (and the roads) by regulators who are (or should be) concerned about consumer (and road) safety.
