I am really fascinated by how this is going to play out. I am actually somewhat skeptical that fully autonomous (in the sense of arbitrary A to arbitrary B) is really going to happen anytime soon. I heard John Siracusa on his podcast outline convincing reasons why it wouldn't happen "in our lifetime". Conventional wisdom at this point seems to be that Siracusa is wrong, but his doubts resonated with me. I hope I'm wrong!
- monk_e_boy 10y agoThis. For sure. Most roads will need to be upgraded to 'robo friendly' the little English lanes, hedges either side, one track with passing places (got to do a lot of reversing or bumping up the hedge to get past.) These will all be tricky for robots to navigate.
- SideburnsOfDoom 10y agoYes. Roads are built things, so they are designed to be usable for the vehicles that use them. When most of these are robot cars, then the roads will be optimised over time to match.
