Ultimately humans cannot match the senses of an automated car, the problem is in processing and integrating. Which we are pretty far away from solving in a general case.
- mcguire 7y agoI'm not so sure about that. For one thing, unless they've changed a lot more than I think they have since the last time I got to fool with one myself, the sensors have very limited range. Take a look at the screens displaying "what the car sees" in this self-promotion video from Waymo: https://youtu.be/B8R148hFxPw?t=148 https://youtu.be/B8R148hFxPw?t=148 What the car is in essence doing is driving by GPS and maps while staring at its feet. It is not as bad as driving with your eyes closed, but it's not that much better. Further, some of the infrastructure it is relying on, like lane markings, are very poorly maintained.
