I hope their cars keep a good log of exactly what logic led them to every decision they make, so when an accident happens, the car's log can clearly indicate something like: "The bicyclist to my left appeared to be in a 'track stand' position, indicating he was yielding to me, so I went forward through the intersection."
Although I suppose keeping a rolling video of everything would suffice as well, for diagnosis purposes.
- JoBrad 11y agoMaybe team up with the Nest Team, they could only record video of important events?
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoVideos of events are actually a terrible idea, for the defendant. There's way to much tendency for 'backseat drivers' to second-guess a decision made in a moment. Videos give them a 'sound byte' of a complex event. Juries make terrible decisions that way.
- cryptophreak 11y agoIsn’t it interesting how possessing barely any information can lead people to confidently make decisions “based on the evidence”?
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoNot sure - sarcasm, right? Somebody looking over your shoulder from the calm surroundings of a court room are very likely to second-guess everything you do, looking at a video of it. That's why we have a jury, an advocacy system, and we question witnesses.
