... or anywhere. Highway stakes are just as deadly, just less pedestrians and bicycles. Also, things can go wrong much faster there.
- ummonk 5y agoThe one situation where full automation makes sense is traffic jams on highways. Simple control requirements, very hard for the algorithm to catastrophically mess up (or require rapid intervention to prevent life threatening accidents), and it’s extremely boring for humans to drive manually.
- imoverclocked 5y agoYeah, but my 2017 Subaru does all but the steering with adaptive cruise control in this situation. Given that a driver needs to pay attention anyway, it's not that hard to just sit back and move the wheel a little when needed.

- mypalmike 5y agoIs this true? Emergency vehicles unfortunately get struck rather frequently by human drivers.
