Can’t we just put signs on everything?
By placing an industry-standardised logo on the corners of vehicles, and giving them away free as stickers / screw on signs, we could identify the anything that ought be considered solid and necessary to avoid regardless of its velocity.
In my opinion we aren’t going to see Level 4+ autonomous vehicles until we start including their requirements in our built environs design.
- sundaeofshock 8y agoNo. Your plan shifts the responsibility for avoiding collisions away from the “autonomous“ vehicle (where it belongs) to everything else in the world. If these vehicle can’t operate in the world as it exits, then they should not be allowed to operate autonomously.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoDoes that mean we can remove all signs, lights, indicators, etc. from everything on the road? We’ve designed roads and cars to accomodate the shortcomings and limitations of humans. Is there any reason to expect robotic autonomous systems to have the same set of short comings as humans?
