Well I do not think the issue is about following the unwritten rules.
The issue is for a company to admit "yeah we're willingly programing/training our vehicles to break the law". Sure, it might be actually less dangerous to do so, but I'm not sure their PR department will be happy about it.
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoI fully expect you are correct. I'm sure the engineers riding along are well aware how overly conservative they're being.
- princeb 7y agoare the engineers "over-conservative"? or have human drivers become inured to what should have been considered an unacceptable amount of driving risk?
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoWhat's "acceptable risk" is basically a matter of social consensus so anything human drivers (as a group) are ok with is de-facto acceptable. I think the engineers know the software drives un-humanly but they can't change it because driving like a dick within the letter of the law results in far less legal liability than driving like a human and breaking the law.
