- lern_too_spel 9y agoIf you don't need a driver in the car, you can test more vehicles with fewer people and ultimately deploy a mobility service cost-effectively.
- MBCook 9y agoExactly. Except when you get in a situation with 100 vehicles, 12 of which need help, and you have 10 drivers. Oops. Someone died.
- lern_too_spel 9y agoIf the situation is a matter of immediate life or death, having remote humans is no help at all to prevent death, so your scenario isn't likely.
- kamek 9y agoYou can test vehicles that don't have (internal) controls for a human driver (e.g., no steering wheel, pedals).
