If self-driving vehicles are tested on public streets, all data generated should be public. Companies should be cooperating, not competing, on "don't hit telephone poles" and "don't run over children".
- patmorgan23 2y agoShould all Google Street view data be publicly available?

- nickff 2y agoThe companies doing the mapping and algorithm develop do face significant legal and technical risk, and they’re unlikely to be bailed out. Perhaps the public is facing some safety risk, but this isn’t what was usually meant by your idiom of choice.
- unshavedyak 2y agoI disagree that they face significant risk, personally. But perhaps i'm just too much of a pessimist. To me, there is a safety trail involving everyone on the road, with no ability to opt-out. The corporation will yield net profits from this, and the people will suffer the losses from this. That seems close enough to the idiom, in my view. But i'm no expert.
- bcrl 2y agoNo, that would be open access to data, which is how science has made progress since time began. Or are you saying the scientific method doesn't apply to implementing self driving cars?
- arijun 2y agoSounds cool in theory, but much less than useful in practice. The hardware and file formats are different enough that the data would be mostly useless to us (I work at a self driving-ish company). The models are predicated a specific set of hardware ( which camera, what fidelity LiDAR, but even something as simple as “what’s the frame rate” can have a difference)
- lostmsu 2y agoThat might not be too big of an issue. There are papers that enable reusing data of different modality by filling blanks.
