You may be right, but one of your analogies undermines your point. Realistic bird flocking has been famously replicated in simulations by having birds follow three simple rules, none of them requiring empathy.

So it might be a relatively easy problem for cars, if all the cars could be made to follow a common set of rules. It gets more difficult with humans who may follow different rules, or even actively exploit the rules of the automated vehicles.

Yes, one way to make a problem easier to solve is to make the problem easier. (But how...) I admit that if people acted exactly like birds, self-driving cars would be easier to implement.
- DennisP 7y agoI wonder whether game theory would be helpful. If flocking rules could be found which were a Nash equilibrium, then the incentive for human drivers would be to play along. Maybe it would even be a decent predictor of what humans already do.
