1. How about a vehicle AI that allows you to ask it to stop and start?
2. I'm not confident that I would be able to notice a truck leaking gasoline, let alone smell it while driving. I'm comfortable riding in a self-driving car that can't perform that recognition. And again, the rider can simply tell the vehicle to pull over, right?
- graycat 10y agoWhat I've seen about self-driving vehicles is that they are supposed to let all human passenger just take a nap during the ride. What you are describing is closer to old cruise control where the car would automatically maintain a selected speed. With enough road re-engineering, a self-driving car could essentially follow electronic rails and also get a lot of real time input about traffic jams, detours, slippery roads, new potholes, etc.
- xapata 10y agoSure, you can take a nap. If you're worried about edge cases, you can stay awake. Either way, it's safer than driving yourself.
