I wonder though if the roadway maintenance would be good enough to have that work reliably. The car would still have to react to misconfigured , misplaced or defective aids.
Even if it’s not just negligeance, if an accident were to move the markers, would it cascade accidents until these markers are fixed ?
In the end, it seems we’d still need cars way clever than what we have now for it to be trustworthy.
- bobthepanda 8y agoThe fatal Tesla crash into a highway barrier a while back was because of faded highway markings. Many localities can barely keep the lines painted. Many more have all sorts of adverse weather conditions (e.g., snow and slush) that make road markings hard to see. The chances of this being a workable solution, at least in the US, is nil.
- nikofeyn 8y agothat crash wasn’t because of the markings. saying so, although maybe accurate, softens the issue. it was because tesla has a poor autonomous system that couldn’t plainly see a road splitting and instead hit a barrier at full speed wit no braking. the markers were a contributor since all teslas seem to mainly do is stay between the lines they see.
