Tesla's Self-Driving Fails the Wile E. Coyote Test

//science-technology.news-articles.net/content/2 .. s-self-driving-fails-the-wile-e-coyote-test.html

Published in Science and Technology on Tuesday, March 18th 2025 at 3:42 GMT by Gizmodo

The article from Gizmodo discusses a video where a Tesla Model 3, equipped with its Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta software, fails to navigate a simple road test inspired by Wile E. Coyote's antics in the Looney Tunes cartoons. In the test, the Tesla drives off a cliff because it does not recognize the absence of road ahead, akin to how Wile E. Coyote would run off a cliff only to realize he's in mid-air. This incident highlights the limitations of Tesla's autonomous driving technology, particularly its inability to detect and react appropriately to sudden changes in terrain or road conditions. The article critiques the over-reliance on vision-based systems without sufficient integration of other sensors like LIDAR, which could potentially prevent such failures. It also touches on the broader implications for the safety and reliability of self-driving cars, suggesting that while Tesla's technology has made significant strides, it still has critical flaws that need addressing.
