This is also how "full self driving" cars will work, for as long as we live. Currently the cost race among car manufacturers is battery production, leading to enormous battery factories popping up.
The next one will be for massive sweatshops where car manufacturers hire people are on-call to steer a mercedes around a poorly placed traffic cone.
- londons_explore 4y agoIf this is the future, there is an interesting outcome... To begin with, operators will control one/a few cars. But eventually as many cars are deployed, it will instead make more sense for the operator to specialize on a particular city or street. You might end up with the operator driving all cars down a particular street, directing each one around the poorly placed traffic cone. Which doesn't look awfully different to a construction worker today directing traffic...
- StevenWaterman 4y agoIf you have enough cars travelling one specific bit of street that you can employ someone full-time to do it, you'll very quickly get enough data to remove that edge case.
