Figuring out? What's there to figure out? it's a computer that captures live footage of its surrounding events. I'm pretty sure it will store at least the last 3 minutes before an unknown event or collision. Similar to a black box in an airplane. It's a matter of requiring them legally to provide such footage.
- pintxo 9y agoHave you interacted with the police recently? I had an encounter with the police here in Germany a couple years back about some property of mine being sold on eBay. Handling anything digital was certainly not their comfort zone, neither with regard to training nor equipment. I have a hard time imagining how the normal police men/women on the street will be able to handle the information overload the black box of an autonomous car represents for them. I'd assume law enforcement would need to create specialized units for this.
- Symmetry 9y agoWell, there's the chain of custody of the live footage to worry about and ensuring it hasn't been tampered with. And cops have to be trained in how to look at it, there are probably special tools. In the long run we're going to have an FAA equivalent for autonomous cars with standardized black boxes and formal accident investigation committees and so forth so hopefully every accident where an autonomous car is at fault can be the last of its type. But currently we're still figuring out how all this works which means both that we don't want all that structure yet and also that relevant authorities have to learn by doing.
