I don't think that there would be much need for a 100% L5 car.
Remote driving where a single driver controls a few cars, possibly by people from emerging countries, will solve this problem, will be quite cheap, and will always add an extra safety element.
Given that, i don't think the last 5% will be an obstacle for the technology making it.
- 00N8 5y agoIf it's not legal to drive drunk, why would it be legal to drive up to 5 cars at once through a computer, where latency & limited views would likely create similar impairment? Sure, 95% automation w/ remote drivers can work most of the time. If there's an obstacle blocking the road an automated car can stop for a remote driver to carefully pass by. But it would be a huge liability in any situation where "stop & wait for a remote driver" isn't a safe option. I do think there will be a significant market for this kind of thing, but it will be more of a premium subscription for L4 vehicles, mostly sold to older folks & less confident drivers. Using it to approximate L5 directly seems dubious
