The TL;DR as I read were
1. Regulators want aggressive breaking but carmakers want smoother driving
2. Manually tuning all the edge cases for cases where the software is uncertain what's happening will lead to fragile monolith black boxes
- jandrese 8y agoAggressive random braking is also a safety issue.
- jsight 8y agoYep, this is the thing that worries me the most on some of these systems right now. They are going to get rear-ended a lot for the next few years, IMO.

These kind of tradeoffs were things every self-driving car software developer KNEW they were going to have to deal with - the most extreme being the one where the software has to decide who to kill and who to save: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/culture/technology/the-ethical-dilemmas-of-self-drivingcars/article37803470/ https://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/culture/technolo...

- sandos 8y agoWhy? Brakes works fine on snowy roads. Distances can be adjusted for snowy roads. It happens every winter where it snows a lot. I don't see a problem.
- jpindar 8y agoNot sudden random braking, no. The most important advice for driving on slippery surfaces is to avoid sudden braking, and in general to be careful when you brake.
- sandos 8y agoThat'll teach people to keep their damn distances!
