> contrive a scenario
pretty easy actually. car ahead swerve to avoid an obstacle. autopilot don't see the obstacle until the car ahead swerve. autopilot has to change lane to avoid obstacle.
if it has recently snow some lane will have different traction than others.
this is what happens on most of these pileup videos you see on youtube, so while not common (there are a handful a year after all) they aren't just hypoteticals
- OnlineGladiator 7y agoYou're right - I guess it's not that hard to imagine that scenario. But how would the car know which lanes have traction? If the car can reliably detect black ice it can avoid it without ever having to slip/skid.
- LoSboccacc 7y agoyeah that the hard part, humans can't identify it visually, so car will probably be able to identify it only after it loses traction, reducing the margins significantly.
