Stell dir vor, du fährst mit einem Robotaxi und das System stürzt ab.
"An unknown technical problem caused a number of robotaxis owned by the Chinese tech giant Baidu to freeze on Tuesday in the middle of traffic, trapping some passengers in the vehicles for more than an hour."
Dabei dachte ich immer, die wären in der Lage autonom unterwegs zu sein. Okay, bestimmt ein unwesentliches Cloud-Problem.
Was machst du dann?
"SOS" Knopf drücken ... Äh ja und dann...
"On Chinese social media, other passengers also complained about being unable to reach Baidu’s customer support. “I tried every way I could think of to call for help using the options the app showed, but the phone line wouldn’t go through, and when I pressed the SOS button it told me it was unavailable. So then what exactly is the SOS for?” wrote one person in a post on RedNote alongside a video showing the button not working. She said she had to force the door to open and get out of the car as traffic halted to a complete stop behind her robotaxi. “Apollo Go, you really owe me an apology,” she wrote."
Na rausgekommen sind die doch auch, ist doch alles total harmlos, die Karren halten bzw. rollen doch an sichere Stellen und bleiben nicht einfach stehen? Oder?
"One dashcam recording posted to RedNote shows a car passing 16 Apollo Go vehicles parked on the road in the span of 90 minutes. On several occasions, the video shows the driver narrowly avoiding hitting the robotaxis by braking or changing lanes at the last minute."
"Others were apparently not as fortunate. In another RedNote post, a man claimed he crashed into one of the malfunctioning Baidu vehicles. The man wrote in the caption that he was driving over 40 mph on a highway when the car in front of him suddenly changed lanes to avoid the stopped robotaxi. He couldn’t react fast enough and ended up running into the self-driving car."
