I wonder if this is a problem that can be solved by public-private partnerships. What if we have a public utility that maintains a network of cameras throughout the city that can be used to create a real-time self driving guidance system. Users of the system would pay fees to patch into the data feed so that their cars can use that data. The utility would turn the data into anonymized object data.
Since we would want to have standards around this type of infrastructure data, it would be regulated in the early days and then can move to deregulation where third party providers can layer other data and analysis into the stream.
This could be cheaper and more effective than the current attempts at per-car LIDAR with all of its limitations.
Alternatively, you could aggregate the data collected by all of the cars and provide a single vision of the local area that is not limited by your single LIDAR unit.
- Fjolsvith 9y agoThink of the nightmare situations if that infrastructure data was hacked...
- jopsen 9y agoAs oppose to all the car companies having the data? You don't think the car companies won't record, collect and analyse the data for advertisement purposes?
- maxerickson 9y agoThat's why telematics are already in most new vehicles. Chevrolet wants to be a data company. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07-12/your-car-s-been-studying-you-closely-and-everyone-wants-the-data https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07-12/your-car-...
- indolering 9y agoIn the US, most local Governments capable of rolling out such infrastructure already record everything a lot of information. Seattle public transit records everything (including audio!). Many have license plate scanners in busy streets. Then they have a roving band of police who with dash and body cameras.
- Fjolsvith 9y agoYeah, but I'm thinking about a situation where the data is modified to cause your vehicle to drive to the wrong place. Like that fellow who was following his car navigation system directions and drove up a bike path and crashed.
