I think the logical conclusion to self-driving is just turning our roads into digital rails.
So all this work on proprietary algos/hardware for self-driving are so much in vain.
This grey area of 'well yeah, it's 'self-driving' but you still need to be ready to take over at any second' won't fly for long. Either you're driving, or we have true self-driving cars and SMART ROADS to match, to the point where you can take a nap in the back seat.
- Ensorceled 10y agoI think you are confusing the current social and legal climate for self driving cars with what the technology can do in 5-10 years. For example, if the law says "there must be a licensed driver ready to take control at all times" then it doesn't really matter what the technology can do.

- arkitaip 10y agoIt works here and how and doesn't require billions of dollars in infrastructure investments.
- gnipgnip 10y agoThe algorithms/hardware are hardly proprietary.
- eppeltert 10y agoNot sure why you're being downvoted. The transition to "digital rails" will surely be gradual, but it will come.
- wcummings 10y agoAs long you're building expensive infrastructure, might as well build actual rails.
