Humans often drive in conditions were it's unsafe -- icy roads, dense fog, heavy rain, strong winds. We take the risk, and most times it's okay, except for the occasional pile-up on the highway.
But I don't think a "full self-driving" car refusing to drive in those conditions would be a deal breaker. I'd prefer it if autonomous vehicles were more conservative and just refused to drive in unsafe conditions.
- sameerds 4y agoA lot like a git merge, then :)
- secretsatan 4y agoWell then, call it, self driving under perfect conditions but not as a star modifier
- ilyt 4y agoRight. But you then end in a sport where driver barely does any driving 99% of the time but the 1% they do need to drive, they are out of any practice for normal driving, let alone in hard conditions. We already had problems back when people started coming back from mandatory WFH and accident rate spiked, this would be essentially similar or worse, a bunch of drivers that might do 10k miles a year but drive 500 of them and have extremely rusty normal driving skill, let alone driving in bad conditions. It would be essentially like letting your kid drive your car only in blizzard and pouring rain...
- newaccount74 4y agoI'm not sure that experience with driving in normal conditions actually helps when driving in dense fog or on icy roads. People are overconfident and drive just like they normally would, which is why the pile-ups happen every time we have worse than usual road conditions.
