I wonder how an autonomous vehicle would react in this scenario.

[–]memejets 964 points965 points  (90 children)

My Model 3 would definitely start beeping and ask me to take over.

[–]Biteysdad​ 288 points289 points  (51 children)

What happens if you don't respond?

[–]skaggldrynk 671 points672 points  (49 children)

The car slows down and stops. Which isn’t great on the highway but better than a confused car and absent driver

    [–]damnedangel 205 points206 points  (28 children)

    and does it turn on the hazards automatically?

    [–][deleted] 286 points287 points  (26 children)

    Hazards, yes, but it doesn't pull over, just stops in the lane

    [–]RareSorbet 181 points182 points  (15 children)

    Nah, we have the technology but its not yet perfected. It just comes to a slow gentle stop and asks you whether you're feeling ok emotionally.

    [–]lunch431 133 points134 points  (4 children)

    [...] and asks you whether you're feeling ok emotionally.

    What if you answer "No, haven't been for years now"?

    (asking for a friend, obviously)

      Does the seat then fold back into a couch before it asks you about your relationship with your parents?

            No. If it's in a state where it can't figure out the lane lines, then it can't pull over.

            [–]Mighty_ShoePrint 15 points16 points  (5 children)

            You mean a 'state of being', right?

            [–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

            Or Louisiana.

            [–]_ohm_my 3 points4 points  (0 children)

            Yes. An internal state.

                The point is that if the car is unable to get it's bearings, it asks you to take over. It wouldn't know where the shoulder is, let alone be able to pull over. It's well known to Tesla owners that the driver assist isn't fully capable. You have to be paying attention and have your hands on the wheel. It'll make you take over if the lane ends, or if it exits the highway, or if there is construction or obstacles that make it confused.

                [–]Nawnp 5 points6 points  (6 children)

                No, at least not from what I’ve heard.

                  It'd be perfectly fine on the highway if all the vehicles had this same technology

                      Then in said situation, I would clearly take the road to the left.

                        It would check the map. Check whether the direction on the map is clear and rule out the lines as dirt.

                          I've got a model 3 too, and it freaks out over the tar they use to seal/repair cracks in the road, it'd probably just turn the FSD.

                          Glad to know it's still an issue. My '14 Infiniti beeps non stop thinking I'm not in the lane.

                          When I'm on the phone with my mom she thinks I'm texting and driving. 😂

                                    I saw a cartoon once where the roadrunner got away. Let's just say there was champagne on the boat duck, that night.

                                      Wile E. was a great artist too with such great detail painting a new road and tunnel. So good the artist forgot what was real. Drugs man. True artists do a lot of 'em

                                                I used to think these jokes were funny before I saw that documentary on the stunt people who spent several weeks a year in the 40s and 50s, running around in coyote suits in the heat of Monument Valley, getting pancaked, fractured, concussed and otherwise hospitalized.

                                                                        There was some groundwater issues and leaking into nearby waterways.

                                                                        [–]Strrrieta 8 points9 points  (14 children)

                                                                        [–]MarshallArtist 12 points13 points  (13 children)

                                                                        [–]Strrrieta 6 points7 points  (10 children)

                                                                        [–]MarshallArtist 13 points14 points  (8 children)

TBSC is a special mix of rocks of certain sizes and sand that is used to reinforce the subgrade of a road. It stands for Traffic Bound Surface Course which literally tells you nothing. If you ever mess with a pile of rocks that leaves a fine dust on whatever you touch it with or seems to have a “crust” on the outside, that is most likely TBSC. It is also called Agg Base. The only difference is that one is dry and one is wet.

                                                                        [–]fucklawyers 8 points9 points  (3 children)

I worked for a PennDOT District Construction Unit in high school, went on to law school. I'm no civil engineer, but man, that spec is very clear and very direct. I think it gave me a legal boner.

                                                                        EDIT: Oh man, you might think most people find it super boring but ha! I just wasted 30 minutes discovering that states all have their own definitions for road materials like this. I gather what you call TBSC is called "2A" here. I sell gasoline right now, and that is different all over the place, too, yet I can still go jump in my car right now and drive to you, without making any adjustments to my car or driving style at all. The mind boggles.

                                                                        [–]therealpilgrim 2 points3 points  (2 children)

We don’t use that term here in Michigan or do a whole lot of cement stabilization. I believe Ohio uses it on highways, though I could be mistaken.

                                                                            [–]crowcawer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

                                                                            The load was pushed horizontally instead of vertically and longitudinally.

                                                                            A lot of it is actually soft to the touch too. Even high quality surface mixes can seem like kinetic sand in the right conditions.

                                                                            [–]greghan450 9 points10 points  (2 children)

                                                                            There should be a MINIMUM of 6” of hot mix material total. 4” of base, and 2” of topcoat.

                                                                              [–]aagusgus 94 points95 points  (10 children)

                                                                              [–]geldmember 66 points67 points  (3 children)

Don’t know how anyone would expect that to hold up to anything beyond the occasional vehicle. I mean bike paths typically have more asphalt than that...

                                                                              [–]someguy3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

                                                                                  Concrete is much better as it has strength and needs substantially less ground prep. Only issue is it needs sealing to prevent erosion

But it reminds me of a guy I work with, who had a nice asphalt slab laid one year in front of his garage. Then a little while later he was trying to pull a stump with his truck, which was on the slab. He put it in low and gave it some real gas, felt like it was coming, then heard all kinds of crashing noise. Looked back and the whole asphalt slab had spit out behind the truck and busted up all over the place, and the stump was still there.

I just looked him up and realised the illustrations in the book weren't far from the real thing

My parents used to tell of a tornado that came through, picked up the road surface in pieces, and laid it against the hill beside the road, with the center stripe still aligned.

                                                                                                  [–]gwaydms 24 points25 points  (12 children)

This tornado had the highest windspeed ever recorded by Doppler radar (DOW unit mounted on a truck), at 318 mph (= ~512 km/hr).

                                                                                                  The friend and their house were fine. No damage but lots of debris around. A block away, the houses were simply taken apart and left in chaotic piles all over the place. The sidewalks, the asphalt, even the grass was just gone. The ground had been scoured.

                                                                                                  [–]DeeCeee 16 points17 points  (1 child)

                                                                                                  [–]gwaydms 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When you fly in to Will Rogers you can still see paths carved through Moore . Just the way it be, Moore gets nailed every few years. They have a bunch of nice new business areas and development...cause the old keeps disappearing. Homes are also very competitvely priced but you have to roll the dice. Norman is definitely luckier but not totally in the clear. We got hit with a small one about 5 years ago, first in like 80 years or something. Then I think 2 years ago we had some microburst off HWY9 south and 35, blew threw RiverWind Casino and did some minor damage. Spring is close, storm season a cometh!

I guess I could look at a map and fact check....but meh. There's also rumors of "Indian burial grounds" or "sacred lands" that Norman downtown is on, protecting it from the worst of the 'naders. I personally prefer to believe topography theory over spooky natives, but I also whole hearted believe in "deer lady". That's a fun one 😁

Likely a hurricane or flooding did this in the carribbean. This would not happen to a typical road structure. The subgrade is so stiff here the asphalt really just acts as a waterproofing and gives you a smooth ride.
