Humans also rely on visual information for driving and can easily be tricked. For instance, I don't think there is any security mechanism to prevent the placement of a battery powered green light on top of a red traffic light. In that case, an autonomous car's logs could actually help in discovering the tampering.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoNo, but the reason there are three (at least) lights is that the designers were well aware that colorblindness exists and the position of the light is also significant.
- xani_ 4y agoIt's still kinda shit design to be honest. Could have both color and shape. Make red hexagon, yellow square for example. or really any recognizable shape
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoI'm sure that manufacturability is a concern.
- xani_ 4y agoI'm sure it's no harder than making one in shape of arrow lmao
- verbify 4y agoInterfering with a traffic signal is a crime in many jurisdictions.
