There needs to be more data released than gross number of disengagements, but video isn't particularly useful for agencies.
There needs to be some kind of common public protocol and infrastructure that allows the government to audit potential crashes and then test other self driving car systems to see how they'd react in the same situation. That'd also likely help with giving visibility into why a particular system acted the way it did, and give the public a better view into how the companies are performing. E.g. how well would Waymo handle the areas that Cruise is currently focusing on?
- jcims 7y agoI wonder if they could build a spec for a simulated environment that regulators could use to test self driving cars against. Start stacking up edge cases that resulted in crashes to vet new releases and new products.
- ttsda 7y agoThe problem with that approach is that self-driving companies have their models trained for their specific hardware, which will differ a lot and make the data incompatible. The only way around that would be to enforce a standard platform, similar to what happens in racing, leaving the differences between competitors to the software that drives it.
