If all self-driving cars are hardcoded to never break the speed limit there's no reason to have radar traps. Self driving cars already have codes that they follow, which the public can oversee the same way they oversee traffic codes now.
For that matter if self-driving cars became able to respond faster than a human, there'd be no need for the old speed limits at all. A car would probably know its hardware much better than a human and know what it's individual fastest safe speed would be. Universal speed limits would only be necessary while there are human and AI drivers on the same roads. Which is why, as I said, a phased change-over would be best.
- lottin 5y agoSo you say a self-driving car that doesn't obey speed limits and doesn't stop at red lights should be allowed on the road?
- SuoDuanDao 5y agoIf it's safer than a person who does, why shouldn't it? I feel like you're just trolling at this point.
- lottin 5y agoBecause 1) the question was not "if it's safer", 2) "safer" doesn't mean "safe", and 3) safety isn't the only concern. For example, a self-driving car could be programmed to drive aggressively, not stopping at red lights, not giving way, etc. and this would be unfair to other road users, even if it was completely safe. Everybody who has a degree of intellegence understands this. You simply lack the intellectual stature to have this conversation, sorry.
