In Episode 49 of Self-Driving Cars with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna tackle a persistent blind spot for autonomous vehicles: pedestrians who cross outside crosswalks. With jaywalking laws being decriminalized in cities like New York and Denver, self-driving cars face a new challenge—predicting erratic human behavior where no path is defined. The hosts dig into how Waymo, Cruise, and others train for this edge case, referencing a 2024 study showing AVs detect jaywalkers 30% slower than crosswalk pedestrians. They also touch on market performance of RIVN and GM as AV investment cools. A focused, data-driven conversation on one of autonomy's toughest unsolved problems. #SelfDrivingCars #AutonomousVehicles #Jaywalkers #PedestrianSafety #Waymo #Cruise #Lidar #EdgeCases #AVTechnology #Rivian #GeneralMotors #Decriminalization #UrbanMobility #AI #MachineLearning #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
