It will be interesting to see how people exploit the A.I.
There might be little tricks you could do to make an autonomous car yield. Or if you see one about to park, maybe you could get really close to it, and it would try to find another spot instead of fighting for the spot. Or pedestrians might carelessly walk in front of it, knowing it will stop for them.
Edit:
It will also be interesting to see how the technology changes as whole fleets of them are deployed. They will constantly be sending each other data: pothole detected on highway; I'm ahead of you and have braked suddenly; this road is congested, use alternate route; is there a parking spot close to my location?; tsunami warning - all cars go to high ground.
- Someone 14y ago"this road is congested, use alternate route" I guess someone will hack the software in his car to send a "road blocked" signal, so that he can drag race a friend on fifth avenue at rush hour. I also expect that it will become illegal to hack one's own car soon after that.
- jiggy2011 14y agoStuff like congestion would probably be left to computers operated by the local traffic authority rather than the general public. Of course you would need some form of hazard signaling which could be open to abuse (although it could be abused by human drivers anyway). You can always monitor what cars are doing and if you find that some particular persons car is always behaving in a way that causes problems then you can potentially take legal action against them.
