And this is why level 5 autonomous cars are basically strong AI: current roads assume that a human controls every vehicle. When some guys want to unload a truck full of bricks, they park, turn on the flashers, and wave traffic through in alternating directions. Humans understand this, but good luck teaching a robot. The Nissan solution of having the robot freak out for 30 seconds before a remote operator moves it out of the way is better than nothing, but hardly great.
- hliyan 9y agoThis just gave me a thought. What if the onboard self-driving system doesn't really need the teleoperator to take over completely, but to select from a set of decisions in difficult situations? The teleoperator doesn't need to watch the footage continuously, but only needs to respond quickly when the onboard system generates an alert.
- notahacker 9y agoOnly a subset of decisions (can I proceed as normal) are easily dealt with as yes/no answers. "How do I proceed through this environment which is playing havoc with my sensors?" is less straightforward. Of course, there's a big class of problems which can't be dealt with by remote takeover at all, such as "should I hit this unclassified small obstruction that's entered the roadway or brake/swerve in a manner almost certain to result in a collision?"
