why not dedicated a highway lane to autonomous trucks?
- recursive 2y agoI don't think that would help anything. If someone unauthorized uses the lane, what should happen? Trucks just crash into them? I don't think that will work. If they're using a lane in a road, they'll still have to solve the full hard autonomous driving problem. So then, what's the point of the lane at all?
- hanniabu 2y agoYou put a barrier up separating that lane and require a handshake with the vehicle for entrance > they'll still have to solve the full hard autonomous driving problem Not for a highway with no entrance and exits between the 2 cities > So then, what's the point of the lane at all? It won't take a decade and $20B to build
- recursive 2y agoHow will the autonomous trucks get to the protected lane? What will they do when they have mechanical problems? What will the trucks behind them do? Where will traffic go that was using that lane before? How is this better than a freight train?
