I concur with your overall points.
Rather than a firmware 'reset', a 'firmware safe mode' control.
This loads a super simple and infrequently updated image that lets the car just be a dumb car, and nothing else.
- iainmerrick 10y ago"Super simple" would be nice, but as I understand it, even "dumb car" software is incredibly huge and complicated. (It's very unclear to me why that needs to be so)
- Someone 10y agoIf self-driving cars really take of, "just be a dumb car" won't help in a few decades. The 'driver' may not know how to drive his car, and even if he did, the car may not have a steering wheel. Also, I guess one would press this 'I want to take control' button in an emergency. That means the persons suddenly finding themselves driving this vehicle have to be above-average drivers.
