And this infrastructure was built for human driver. And they do not work well for software driver.

How much would it cost though for parallel infrastructure that is suitable for a software driver? (better signage, rfid tags in the roads, 'smart' traffic cones, etc.) For say the Bay Area. 10 billion to a few hundred billion? Speaking for myself, I'd be happy to pay say an additional 1% sales tax if it meant facilitating an area wide 24/7 autonomous 'public transit' taxi service, presumably with at-cost per mile fares.
- justicezyx 5y agoI don't know. There has not been any serious effort in theoretizing the changes needed for software driver. The so-called vechle and road codesign has been mostly gimmick as far as I know.
