Society has decided how to judge whether I am safe to drive, and I have passed the tests.
I worry that the laws on the books are insufficient to judge whether a computer is safe to drive. If Tesla already has plans to increase safety, I'd like to know how they judge it, where they think they are, where they'd like to improve, etc.
As a voter.
- stevep98 7y agoI think there is a lot of scope for an autonomous vehicle to be safer than a human driver. Consider: 1) computer has faster reaction times. 2) 360-degree awareness 3) better awareness of vehicle performance. Imagine a scenario where you are at speed and get a tire blowout. The car can sense it instantly through tire pressure sensor, and counter the swerve appropriately - something that humans are very poorly prepared or practiced for. Alternatively, a driver in a neighboring lane makes an unsafe lane change into your lane. The car sees him, honks the horn, moves/brakes/accelerates to avoid the other car, before you've even seen whats happening.
