The original experiment was conducted by Mark Rober, an engineer who gained popularity through his package thief glitter bombs videos. He tested whether Tesla's camera-based Full Self-Driving (FSD) system could automatically stop before hitting a wall painted as a road stretching into the horizon. The system failed to detect the wall, leading to many questions about the effectiveness of Tesla's FSD technology.
Paul's experiment involved a Tesla Model Y with FSD version 12.5.4.2, which failed to detect the fake wall, requiring manual intervention to prevent a crash. However, the Cybertruck with FSD version 13.2.8 successfully detected the wall and came to a complete stop, indicating potential improvements in the newer version of the FSD system.
These mixed results raise questions about the reliability of Tesla's Full Self-Driving technology. While the Cybertruck's successful detection offers hope for the future, the failure of the Model Y underscores the need for further refinement of the technology. The experiments also highlight the importance of real-world testing to supplement virtual simulations in the development of autonomous driving systems.
