I came to the conclusion years ago that we're going to need RFID tags on everything (or something similar) to make FSD work safely enough without AGI. We'll probably also need dedicated lanes in some places. Nothing I have read or seen yet has given me any reason to think differently.
Edit: The common counter-argument I see to this is that tags could be altered maliciously. My response is that we've already been building systems which scan for and filter out malicious changes for a long time, and we keep getting better at it. It seems to me like this kind of system would be far easier to design & update than any FSD software I know of.
- javagram 5y agoRFID is no solution at all, how do you ensure a toddler running into the road is properly RFID chipped? If you need every possible obstacle to be tagged with a locator beacon, you’ve essentially just reinvented 1970s autonomous subway or PRT technologies that require the track to be completely fenced off from surprise animal or humans or debris ended up on the track.
- slfnflctd 5y agoThe idea is not that it would be RFID only, but to reduce the number of non-tagged objects & people so false positives happen less often. Obviously you still need a way to deal with random, unexpected obstacles, but it's a much smaller problem space when the surrounding environment is mostly properly tagged.
