driverless cars will have endless problems.
When I was on sales trip to KL in Malaysia there were times when the tropical rain could half flood a street in minutes. Our driver was able to creep around the shallow side of the road (alternating with cars in the other direction).
How would a driverless car cope? Would it even detect that there was problem? and if it detected it and wouldn't drive on that might be the worst thing to do if the flooding was going to get worse.
- c22 4y agoThere's a one-lane bridge near where I live that would pose a similar challenge. Drivers coming from the east always have right-of-way, but the only way to know this is by reading the bespoke traffic sign posted next to the bridge. To make matters worse, during times of heavy traffic westbound drivers will often stop and let through a stream of eastbound traffic. How many cars are let through is negotiated with hand signals or flashing lights and smiles.
