Absolutely, this is a solved problem. One method is to put a laser line or two (thanks to modern LED you can actually do this in a safe way) on the ground and look at the reflection of that line with multiple camera's. But that will add 10k to the budget and doesn't look as good for the sales team. Decisions were made...
These two things are very different from one another. It's like saying: "We've got computers in every pocket, why doesn't everyone also have a jetpack?"
Because of things like this, they're inventing new ways to traverse difficult terrain, so this is directly bringing us to those Boston Scientific murder robot dogs
What scares me about this thing is that it clearly has sensors and logic to detect it has just hit something, as demonstrated by the emergency brake... but it just drives off again after just a few seconds.
Like, imagine one of these runs you over, you get stuck in the undercarriage, some overworked, underpaid operator somewhere looks at their screen and sees that the vehicle is stopped but there's nothing visible on the front camera... so they hit "resume" to keep their metrics looking good.
This just mirrors how Chinese drivers behave. Since you are responsible for paying medical bills of people you run over with your car (or if you're just nearby, since courts aren't exactly fair over there) and since the insurance rate is low, drivers are speeding away more often than not. There are horrific videos from China of people running over children, the children lying on the road injured and absolutely nobody is doing anything, neither other drivers nor nearby pedestrians. It's horrible.
Most respects. They've put in 50,000km of high speed rail since 2008, and they are producing more green energy and green energy tech than the rest of the world combined.
Don't get me wrong, the Chinese government sucks out loud, but they are taking climate change seriously.
Most of those high speed rail lines are unused, the trains running empty, to the point that they aren't publishing usage statistics anymore (just like youth unemployment rates, which are a state secret now). Also, building things just to say you have built things is extremely environmentally harmful. Concrete production is incredibly environmentally harmful. If they were actually serious about climate change beyond fake numbers, they would reduce its usage.

it has to make all its deliveries before the battery runs out and it gets sent to the recycler for non-performance.

You know, I bet it would be pretty easy to make it be able to recognize highly uneven terrain and adjust its speed accordingly...

Hopefully it has thermal sensors to detect warm blooded creatures otherwise anything is just a speed bump.

It's wild that we currently have both unpaved roads and robot cars that only anticipate paved roads.

compared to all the AI and other tech crap us cronically online see daily, the world is actually very low tech

Hey now, we also have paved roads in such poor condition they're worse than many unpaved roads.

Yeah, that's why you have to keep reading. The cool thing about sentences, is that they contain one complete thought.

And yet it makes so much sense with where the world is at right now. Like…yeah. Looks about right.

Personally I just find it wild that any country would allow this shit to drive on public roads.

Remotely piloted, not robot

Then why is there a LIDAR sensor on top of the vehicle? That's not very useful for remote piloting.

The rich people approving this shit would likely disagree with you because "they've never seen an unpaved road"
