Thing is, if the roads are made so that only "AI" cars can drive on them, you don't need AGI, or an advanced AI. You basically need the cars at the level they are now (or even from five years ago). Because the number of weird shit you need to deal with is reduced significantly.
- jillesvangurp 4y agoThat's just right now. Changing the roads will take longer and be way more expensive than building enough AI that cars can self drive on existing roads safely. Arguably, we're nearly there already. Several companies have self driving cars on some of the roads (not even counting Tesla here) and the scope of situations where these can operate safely is expanding. They aren't fixing any roads for this. This is all done in software. Five years is nothing for road construction. There's only so much that happens in such a short time span. However, it's a lot of time for making some software improvements.

If you are also able to prevent people and animals from accessing the roads and fix the weather... (At the other end of the scale, if you put the cars on rails in tunnels, "AI" from the 1960s will likely suffice for safe driving)

If all cars are "AI", and move in uniform fashion, and know each others' location, then this might be an easier issue to solve than it is today. "May" is dangerously close to "just", I know :)
