It would make more sense to put rfid tags into those rubber reflectors and put those on the freeways and have trucks follow those then do all of the work for full self driving, cheaper too. A human driver can take over for the last mile. The truck would read the rfid tags and each would have a database entry of the gps of each tag.
- ehnto 5y agoYou still need full self driving I think. Car cuts you off, tire flat where and when does it pull off? Load gets unbalanced, wind shear throws you off line, road ragers, unexpected hazards, unmarked construction zones, weather and road condition changes.. you get it. I think the remote driver is going to be too slow to respond in the majority of cases where circumstances are unexpected. What about load too, not having enough drivers to respond to incidents at peak wouldn't really be acceptable. I think it's useful to note that we haven't even fully automated trains yet, which should show that even when most variables are accounted for you still need a robust detection and decision engine at the helm.
