The cynic in me immediately interpreted "Post-Crash Behavior" as the exact opposite priority from "Privacy".

- ChuckMcM 10y agoI was thinking it meant the car would not drive itself away and hide after a collision :-)
- eck 10y agoThat could actually be an interesting problem. It might sound like "in the event of a impact >Xg, stop, shut down, and wait for police/NTSB/etc to come investigate". But if, say, you hit a deer on a wilderness road in the winter, that behavior could lead to the passengers all dying of exposure. Do self-driving cars have a button labeled "fuck your rules and DRIVE"?
- macNchz 10y agoA self-driving car that refuses to move after a minor accident on a wilderness road sounds like a great opening scene for a horror movie.
- extropy 10y agoYes, unless it's level 5. Then you walk.
- jpindar 10y agoLikewise, in most discussions of self-driving cars, it is noted that they probably won't work well in the snow. Someone (presumably not from a snowy area) will then say that the car will pull over and wait, as you shouldn't be driving in a snowstorm anyway. They never say what's supposed to happen next, with the highways full of people whose cars have stranded them. Are they all supposed to call for cabs? But wait, cabs have been replaced by self-driving cars...
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoI'm pretty sure they'll eventually figure out how to get self driving cars working in snow, or rain, with protocols on when to stop that match when humans should.
- dibujante 10y agoProbably any self-driving vehicle should have a button you can push that amounts to consenting to "The car will now record that you initiated a manual override. You are now in full control. Anything you do is your responsibility." Insurers will throw a fit if you push this button but it's better than being stuck in a bad situation because your car can't figure out a way out of it.
- vkou 10y agoIf you are driving a modern car, it has a blackbox that records accident data.
- owyn 10y agoThat's a very short section, but it looks more like how the driving system itself responds if a sensor is damaged in a crash. Basically, that it should hand control back to the driver. And also if you crash and then repair the system, it must somehow be validated/tested before being put back in service. The data collection "black box" side of it is in a different section.
- drivingmenuts 10y ago> it must somehow be validated/tested before being put back in service I pity the mechanics for that one. You just know the car manufacturers are not going to want some unwashed shade tree mechanic, or even a legitimate independent garage, to have access to do that.
- ryandrake 10y agoLet alone self-maintenance. There goes the right to repair...
