So, this is for the subpopulation of car drivers that have no accurate sense of distance? Mmh, okay.

Not surprising. Colors are somewhat ambiguous, cultural and subjective. Greyish ("silver") is a very common color for a car. At this moment there were several car matching that description.
So, using color, at least in this case, is not accurate.
At least, with a distance, the information is somewhat well-defined.
> - okay follow the silver car in the leftmost lane
That's another silver car.
Wait, what's the benefit of mentioning that car, compared to saying "join the leftmost lane and follow it to turn left"? Or simply, "turn left".
Do they mean it is for drivers that can follow another car but not painted lanes?
What happens in low traffic when there's no other car to follow?
> turn left at the building with a billboard
There are several buildings with a billboard. One at around 100 meters, one at around 300 meters.
So, mentioning "a building with a billboard", at least in this case, is not accurate.
At least, with a distance, the information is somewhat well-defined.

Ah, this may be the real deal. No, thanks.
- projektfu 5y agoI guess I must be an idiot. I frequently can't tell what turn the navigation system expects me to take and I am never sure if it's really 100ft or more-or-less 100ft, maybe 60, maybe 140. When the navigator tells me I can be in the leftmost 3 lanes for the turn, I usually can't see whether I should be ready to turn left or right. If I can't see the turn, because there is a truck in my way, I will often miss it. But I must be in a subpopulation that doesn't need any support because we're so rare.
- uKVZe85V 5y agoYou seem irritated. Sorry if you think I caused this. I also happen to sometimes miss guidance directions (happened a few days ago). Still, I doubt ambiguously referring to environmental features is an actual progress. My feeling is that in both current and projected systems, the driver will need some experience to figure out the ambiguity. I also anticipate cases where the AI will mislabel an object and ask to turn left at the X while there's clearly no X, or maybe actually an X but further away, causing misguidance.

- projektfu 5y agoMy apologies. Your comment had an air of superiority in it as I read it but perhaps it was not your intent.
