Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Avoiding Motorcycle Riders

Episode 39 of Self-Driving Cars with Fexingo tackles a blind spot in autonomous vehicle perception: motorcycles. Lucas and Luna break down why lidar and camera systems struggle to track two-wheeled vehicles, citing a recent IIHS study showing that AVs detect motorcycles 30% less reliably than cars. They explore the physics of narrow profiles, the lack of training data, and what Waymo and Tesla are doing differently. With Tesla stock down 3.5% this week and LCID dropping 17%, the market is punishing companies that don't solve edge cases like this. A focused look at one of the most dangerous gaps in self-driving safety. #AutonomousVehicles #SelfDrivingCars #MotorcycleSafety #Lidar #Waymo #Tesla #IIHS #AVPerception #RoadSafety #Technology #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SelfDrivingCarsWithFexingo #LunaAndLucas #EdgeCases #AVTesting #MobilityTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
