yeah, just tell the autonomous 4000 pound missile that stopping is a low priority.
i fear much of the enthusiasm behind self-driving cars is from people who understand neither driving, nor computer software, very well.
- wolfram74 10y agoThat feels like you're intentionally misinterpreting the suggestion. The implied solution is that a car would preferentially stop off to the side of the road, rather than the middle.

- galdosdi 10y agoIf there _is_ a valid and safe "side of the road" There are places where it takes some skill just to comply with an officer's request for you to pull over. Not everywhere is a bunch of standardized interstates.
- coldtea 10y agoThat's what we are saying. Have the car GO and find a suitable area. Driving for a few more km perhaps slower and with the alarm lights flashing to find a spot to stop, will surely be safer than stopping right then and there just because you can't find a convenient place to pull out.
- coldtea 10y ago>yeah, just tell the autonomous 4000 pound missile that stopping is a low priority. Lower priority than stopping then and there in the middle of the road/interstate (as suggested by parent) as opposed to a service/rest-area/shoulder/side of the road/etc...
