- kevin_thibedeau 9y agoNever will happen. Latency is a law of nature. 60mph === 8.8 ft / 100ms. Near misses and close calls with unexpected objects can't afford the additional delay of a radio round trip that may or may not be working to make safety critical decisions. All situational awareness has to be handled on board for immediate response when needed.
- Nition 9y agoI've worked on a videogame where vehicles are controlled from the client but have their physics done on the server. Server sends car position, and client sends inputs. So I can give some insight into how driveable it might actually be: - <40ms (round trip) is not really noticeable - 40-~80ms is driveable - 80-150ms is getting difficult - 150-250ms you're overcorrecting all the time - 250ms+ is completely undriveable That's not trying to avoid sudden obstacles, that's just making turns etc that you already intended to make. Avoiding anything sudden would be impossible much earlier. I agree remote control over Internet will never happen.
- falcor84 9y agoIf you set up a control center in each metro area, you could potentially have a sub 10ms RTT. And I imagine that in a large percentage of cases the car's sensors might indicate potential danger with enough advance warning for the remote driver to take over.
