To be fair, I'm sure there's a few humans that would crash into a giant painted road in the middle of a straight road in the middle of nowhere. Humans crash due to less.



There's a fun thread available here: https://road.cc/content/forum/car-crashes-building-please-po...

It's where a bunch of cycling nutters (I'm one of them) post local news stories where a driver has crashed into a building ("It wasn't wearing hi-viz!")


Well, I wouldn't and neither would a Waymo, but a Tesla did, which means it's no better than a bad human driver


I think I might, and I'm surprised by how confident you are that you wouldn't.


If you watch the video, it would be blatantly obvious to any human that it is just a big poster across the road, completely fake. No human would fall for that but tesla does.


> I wouldn't

Of course, that's why traffic accidents are called 'accidents.' Drivers wouldn't crash their cars, but they do.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯


To be more fair, some humans will drive into rivers if the gps map tells them to. =\
