> According to the law, vehicles with the required autonomous driving function will no longer need a human driver to operate them. But in order to comply with current international regulations, a “technical supervisor” will be necessary. The supervisor won’t drive the vehicle, but will be responsible for ensuring that the obligations under road traffic law are met.
Seems pretty pointless then except as a way to gather real world data. I wouldn't expect widespread adoption until that is no longer necessary.

- bryanrasmussen 5y agoOk but what happens when the supervisor determines that a vehicle halfway to its destination cannot meet the requirements? I guess sending out a human driven shuttle.
- adrianN 5y agoThat would work fairly well in a "campus transport" system, where the nearest human is not terribly far away.
