Self-driving car engineer: "detecting cars you can't directly see is a huge problem, what are we going to do about this??"
Other Engineer: "just have the other car tell us. I know you like solving hard general case problems, but come on. This solution is super obvious."
- djyaz1200 9y agoProblem... this broadcast approach isn't particularly helpful unless all cars have it. So to add this TCAS style solution to all cars might cost what? $100/car in equipment alone? For all 263 million cars in the US that would be $26 billion. Seems pricy when Tesla has a system today that solves this problem without all that infrastructure, or the privacy concerns?
- ambulancechaser 9y agothe broadcast system is certainly helpful if less than all cars have it. The proposal estimates the cost per car at 100-300 dollars. > Seems pricy when Tesla has a system today that solves this problem without all that infrastructure, or the privacy concerns? Solves it for those cars, and certainly at an expense higher than 100-300 cars. And it will only get better as it gets information from other cars.
