Highway seems simpler, but it isn't. Just different. Being able to predict the necessary time ahead with limited sensors at high speeds is as hard as predicting a high number of participants going slower in the city.
Personally I think level 3 should be banned (can't find it, but I think Volvo blogged about it years ago), because the system just cannot detect that it will fail in some seconds and give the driver enough time to react.
- jeffreygoesto 6y agoThis well known Tesla fatality [0] illustrates my point. Unfortunately. The model built up by the system was free (enough) of contradictions and the reaction of speeding up right into that barrier was a totally correct one. From the system's "point of view". Neither sensor- nor interpretation-wise we are close enough to humans with those systems if the operating domain is not extremely limited. All general highway systems are operating in a too open environment to be safe (that is, we won't see real L3 or higher systems there in the near future). Sorry, Ghost. Ask other people who have been there. By the way, Google's tiny slow cars driving in the valley only were exactly the strategy to limit the operational domain. Once they opened up that domain, they started to struggle again with the same problems as all others (admittedly on another level of mastering it though)...
