Interesting bet. I don't really know much about self driving car technology. That being said, there are construction zones I've driven through where they didn't really cover the old paint lines, such that its a tossup which lane people choose. There are busy roads I've driven through with the painted lines faded out of existence, on an S-bend curve that simultaneously adds more lanes that still captures people by surprise even after it was repainted. Or the NYC free for all where the all the cars drive together like a school of fish, avoiding all the obstacles jutting into the road, yet not quite block the lane. And snow == anarchy.
Is there any indication self driving cars can handle these scenarios?
- throwawaygh 5y agoLast year, I sat by a construction zone along a popular self-driving circuit and watched. At least a few times the car made it through without the safety driver taking over, but most of the time the safety driver took over. This was in the summer, but it was a poorly marked lane shift situation.
