It's weird that there is no way for regulators to know how good a self driving car really is; there might be many hours of driving but it's not like an aeroplane where you can have coverage of most conditions. New conditions could happen all the while.
Add to the fact that Tesla have the richest dataset they have a huge advantage in this area one that will reap rewards and crash less that the competition. I think Uber and Volvo will be far behind.
- konceptz 10y agoThat's an interesting point. What are the challenges behind creating a licensing test similar to the ones we take as humans(could be virtual)? This would be before allowing the software on the road.
- andy_ppp 10y agoActually this would be a great YC company; tests for self driving cars that added certain unexpected events to proceedings that were internal to the testing. Such things could include push bikes, road crashes, collisions, crazy Deathproof style driving, etc. How do self driving cars react to other drivers using their horns or ambulances for that matter? How does a police car pull over a self driving car?
