That's an interesting challenge for autonomous vehicles though... On one hand, the idea of programming your self-driving system to violate the law seems baffling. On the other hand, there are unwritten local rules everywhere. I suspect that even though rolling stop are illegal in California, the traffic density requires drivers to adopt a more aggressive stance if they want to move effectively and rolling stop helps that, especially when multiple cars are stopped in line waiting at a stop sign.
If most people adopted that unsafe unlawful behaviour but which help reduce congestion, what are you suppose to do as a car maker if respecting the law will make other users road-rage against your client using your self-driving system?
- SketchySeaBeast 5y agoI guess we're headed towards yet another slice of future dystopia - where once we saw the opportunity for clean and efficient automated driving by the time it's here it'll have been so heavily influenced by current bad driving habits that they'll have to keep the bad traditions up, if not to be defensive against people but instead to be defensive around other older AI drivers that are still assuming bad habit.

- jeromegv 5y agoI don't think we should program-in unsafe driving behaviours to accommodate road-ragers. As those self-driving features get more main-stream, this will just become more normal. And if road-ragers are still around, they should get fined.
