apollo

There is an exception: Tesla FSD (the US version, not the horrible EU version) this is rather cool and impressive, and unbeaten in the market for now. Though free and open-source solutions are not that bad like https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo But the build quality of a Tesla car itself, omg. It feels like a carton box with an amazing battery.

Assume I wanted to make a RC car drive within a perimeter. Say a table. What would be the best way to achieve this? I see https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo exists which is an autonomous driving software. But I feel that is over kill. I was trying to imagine either using a sort of electric fence, like a dog collar, and maybe something more analog to be able to detect the perimeter and just have it know to stop or reverse with a quick servo.

I saw a video of a Tesla swerving around a jaywalking pedestrian the other day too, relatively high speed, also scary It is interesting to compare the various systems safety pages - https://waymo.com/safety/ - https://www.tesla.com/safety - https://www.ford.com/technology/driver-assist-technology/ - https://www.gmc.com/connectivity-technology/super-cruise - https://www.chevrolet.com/support/vehicle/driving-safety/dri... - https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo (Baidu based) - https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/master/docs/SAFETY... | https://blog.comma.ai/understanding-the-openpilot-safety-mod.... The last two's minimalism around safety is not reassuring

Also: https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo It’s a contested open source project name, for sure.

> Their self driving tech is built on top of Baidu's open source platform and another open source platform with only 1 year of development with a huge team. A recipe for disaster. I assume you're talking about Apollo [0]. Out of curiosity, what's the other open source platform you've mentioned? Do you have any sources? [0] https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo

There is a simulator from Apollo also (Baidu) https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo
