testing autopilot in the fog for the first time in fact it actually looks
surprisingly clearer on camera than it doesn't roll by the naked eye you'll be
able to tell as we pass these cars and in fact I just drove down this road
before the fog rolled in in the dark and auto pilot actually had some problems
and had a lot of disappearing lane lane markers however with in the fog for some
reason it seems to be doing a better job in fact i have not had to steer or touch
the steering wheel at all in about i'd say 15 minutes and you can see how foggy
it is just by seeing the other cars headlights i mean it's it's pretty foggy
now and looks like I finally have to take over there is a roundabout and
while I did train the car to do roundabouts at low speeds extremely low
speeds I'm talking about the minimum of 18 it's not reliable I'm not going to
risk it
take over once again bring her back up to 55
and it's scanning for lines it's having trouble requiring the lines
is it a little more faded over here there we go autopilot engaged
I got one hand with the wheel just to be on the safe side but
fog is clearing up a bit those rather impressive how the autopilot handled the
fog situation better my ideal or reasoning might there is potentially
that since the fog is kind of drowning out all surrounding objects pretty much
kind of like think of it like masking other object object surround now since
it's a road paint is stands out considerably more i'm estimating that
it's able to differentiate between the other objects then and the lines better
because of that and the card is deciding to follow the right lane which is
actually a turning lane let's see if it home and what you know it moves right
back over not bad not bad at all 35 mile an hour
speed little slow down again
in fact the car is actually picking up the speed limit signs before I even see
him now and look what the paint on those speed limit signs is very reflective and
we had some wandering there so I took over this kind of weather is and that's
something that you mess around in 25 mile an hour speed limit and there is an
officer up ahead so okay see if we can lock onto the car in front of us a car
sees it auto pilot sees the vehicle in front of us it's not giving me the
option to lock on and it knows there's lines there but it's having trouble now
locking onto those off the brake manually no because there's a stoplight
net cars turning either way very impressive with the the fog how it
managed to take over and maintain those lines actually extremely impressive
and it was pretty thick fog and surprisingly also my camera was able to
cut through the fog better than then I could see with the naked eye well I have
glasses on but better than I could see with my regular eyes okay that squad
cars really reflecting cars have a little trouble now and that's it i'm
going to put the phone down no smile cheese
