Exclusive: Tesla's HW3-Equipped Cars 'Legally Blind' In California By DMV Definition, Says Dan O'Dowd—Slams Elon Musk's 'Silicon Valley' Approach
Autonomous vehicles are touted by many to be the next big thing in the auto industry, with companies like Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG), Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), as well as Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) emerging as some of the big players in the sector.
However, with the advent of self-driving cars and a favorable regulatory environment, concerns surrounding the technology, particularly with Tesla and Elon Musk's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, still worry The Dawn Project founder Dan O'Dowd, who recently spoke to Benzinga about the AV sector in the U.S.
Tesla's HW3 System Woes
O'Dowd, a staunch critic of Tesla’s FSD tech, shared that The Dawn Project had run tests on 2023 Model 3 sedans with one megapixel cameras, calling the setup "pretty ancient," adding that during the nighttime test, the testers "couldn't read the letters for 20/20 [vision]" nor could they discern the letters with 20/40 vision either. The cameras caught the chart with 20/60 vision, O'Dowd said.
20/60 vision means that for what a regular person can see from 60 feet away, an affected person can see the object clearly from a distance of 20 feet, which could indicate mild to moderate vision impairment.
"The law says you have to have 20/40 vision to drive a car. So it’s legally blind by the California Department of Motor Vehicles definition," O'Dowd said, adding that the system wasn't "safe enough" to be on the roads. California’s DMV guidelines require the ability to see 20/40 with both eyes together, as well as 20/40 in one eye and at least 20/70 in the other eye, with or without corrective lenses.
Driving Tests, Elon Musk’s Claims
O'Dowd said that The Dawn Project also conducted a driver's test with the system, similar to what new drivers would undergo at 16 years old. The system with the HW3 chip made four errors, which would've resulted in it failing the driving test.
"It doesn’t know what a road closed sign means. It doesn’t understand. It can’t read. It literally cannot read," O'Dowd said, adding that the system struggled to understand a "Do Not Enter" sign until recently, as well as found it ...
