I agree that lines should be fixed, however humans rely on things other than lane lines, and autopilots should too. When you can't see you get cues from other cars, estimated distance from both sides of the road, sign placement above your head or on the side of the road, etc...
If we need to repaint all roads to make them work for auto-driving cars, we might as well just move to one of those simple systems like where a robot follows a pre-drawn line on a piece of paper. Maybe throw some bar codes in there so the car knows where it is.
If the cars can't deal with environments that even humans can, I'm not sure what the point is anymore. I expect a self-driving car can see through things like fog and darkness better than a human.
- kneel 9y agoHumans primarily follow lane markings. When these are missing and/or unclear it becomes very difficult to guess where you are supposed to be. Anyone who has driven through road construction and had to follow temporary lines while ignoring blacked out lines knows this struggle.

- orev 9y agoAnd I did not disagree, however if auto driving cars can’t deal with that situation at least as good a humans, then we have a problem. Obviously we’re at 1.0, so things will get better.
