- This by far in my opinion is the single most important attribute of any autonomous fleet of vehicles that is needed. There should be first of all a standard of communication via RFC defined for autonomous vehicles and drones. Any vendor manufacturing autonomous vehicles or drones should follow this standard of communication and be able to communicate to each other with the primary objective of avoiding collisions. This should be a RFC so that it works across vendors and is as standardized as TCP/IP. Communication medium can be over radio frequencies as well as the internet and can work as backup of each other but first there should be a established standard that all vendors adheres to.
- varjag 4y agoI think this is a bad idea. The potential for a malicious/incompetent/malfunctioning actor to wreck havoc becomes enormous. Vehicles should assess and plan driving from first principles and physical sensory inputs. Networked inputs could be helpful as augmentation but it's not something one should rely on at all. Kind of like you shouldn't take a human showing/not showing a turn for a reliable signal of intent.
- la64710 4y agoYes this is augmentation only but it is essential to have. This is what replaces a driver to driver communication part. Like two drivers at a four way crossing sometimes signaling each other. BTW being opinionated is fine but no need to downvote
- varjag 4y agoSay what? I didn't downvote you.
