This makes me want to build an autonomous mower that isn't terrible. Better wheels, better blades and a pathing algorithm that doesn't make it look like you gave a schoolbus of children 2 minutes of push time each before your lawn was finished.
No that's a big part of the field of robotics and drive-by-wire vehicles.Tuco, is there any future in getting the autonomous software to 99%, and then letting a human pilot remotely control the vehicle through a "situation" ? Like the vehicle encounters construction (this might only work for 18 wheelers since there would be an appropriate amount of money at stake) then a human logs in and remotes it though...
Or are people just really not ready for that yet?
Apparently, they want it, and they want it nowI thought that was strictly about electric power trains, and had nothing to do with autonomy.

Biggest problem is that long distance teleoperation is hard.
Here's a good video published by some of the top in the field on a project I'm not super familiar with, but at a glance covers some of the basics. If you have any specific questions I can ask them, but am about to leave on a trip so enjoy my phone posting for a few days!
Aye that is the essemce of semi-autonomous teleoperation. Big problem is figuring out user intent accurately and quickly.One option would be similar to what we use on rovers on mars. Autonomous vehicle that is getting its inputs on where it should be going and what it should be doing via teleoperation and uses its on board sensors/AI to determine how best to carry out those commands.. Pure teleoperation would as noted in that video be both hard and dangerous due to latency. The biggest danger with pure teleoperation is the classic kids running out into the street or deer jumping out unexpectedly. With teleoperation you basically would never be able to respond rapidly enough to prevent the impact.

I recently saw a demo of something Verizon is trying to get part of, which is streamlining the rental process. Basically they want to be the infrastructure to support an improved car rental system.I want to go further than across town maybe four times a year.
I know it's nothing amazing I came up with but I always wondered why people can't just all go when the light turns green. They sit still until the car in front of them is 30 feet gone. Drives me fucking insane.
