I actually agree and have been saying this for years. Cars need to model as much as possible on the way humans drive. No one will expect an autonomous car to be able to do things that an alert and expert driver can achieve. The entire road system is built around the premise that it can be navigated using vision alone, with no a priori knowledge of its layout. You can drop me onto a roadway undergoing construction with temporary lanes that are diverted to the left side of the road, all in a suburb of Boston, a city I’ve never been to, at night in a rain storm. You and I can safely drive in this condition if alert and focused, while relying only on vision. My premise is that any system that requires anything else, e.g. map data, lane boundary data, lidar, is doomed to fail in these edge case scenarios.
