You who avoid self driving cars because they can't read human hand signals in those weird construction zones: now you are out of excuses!
There is an obvious theory-practice gap. Theory is rocketing into outer space while engineers are still running "please_no_crash_backup3.exe" in production.
If you build a self driving car that simply identified construction zones and alerted the driver within 5 seconds, your product would be utterly world-changing.
- Twisell 6y agoMaybe a good comparison could be nuclear fusion power plant. Correct me if I'm wrong but theoretical breakthrough took place in like the 1970's, with operational labs sized tokamak. Yet the first test breakeven reactor ITER is 'scheduled' to operate in 2025 (if nothing goes havoc until then). Yeah I known that software operate on different concept these day (move fast and break things) but I'm still unconvinced this could be compatible with any marketing strategy for self driving cars.
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoTheory is always mindbogglingly far ahead of practice. So much advanced knowledge of light like how our eyes see 3 colors and the color wheel that all modern software uses was invented/discovered before we had electricity and plumbing.
