The belief that self driving cars are inevitable in X short time frame is shortsighted (literally.) It is quite possible that fully self driving cars are incapable of safely navigating all the low speed edge cases, (human traffic directors telling you what to do when a light is out, construction, kids putting up fake signs that send you off a cliff.) for many years to come.
- tdb7893 10y agoThere will always be a ton of things you can do to purposefully endanger drivers (e.g. putting nails on a road) but self driving cars have the potential to make the vastly more common case much safer. I do agree that some of those edge cases (such as policemen directing traffic) will need some new solutions, though.
