There could be sensors placed at the intersection that could broadcast information about pedestrians to approaching cars. If a car cannot accept those signals, not compatible etc, it must stop, if it can, then it can include that data in it's decision process. We have offline tools like this currently with mirrors in garages, and blinking signs when a light will be red if on a fast moving highway.
- nradov 9y agoThat is completely unrealistic and downright dangerous. There are no sensors or pattern recognition algorithms which can detect pedestrians (and animals and bicyclists) reliably enough to even consider doing something like this. A false negative would literally be deadly.
- sbr464 9y agoThere are also currently no mainstream self driving cars. I believe the context is brainstorming ideas for things obtainable in the (near) future, not limiting ourselves to current tech. Although I feel a $50 motion sensor from the JC Penney dressing room may cover (or come close) to what you mentioned. We’ve been to the moon! Let’s not be so bleak.
