In the city, when there're many pedestrians on the roads, I would expect from autonomous car to drive slower and stop in case of pedestrian spotted (human drivers are smarter, but they usually violate speed limits and have worse reaction time)
- pavel_lishin 14y agoI'm afraid that in New York, this would just lead to total gridlock as a few people would stop traffic by jaywalking, leading to a bigger flow of people following them.
- danweber 14y agoThere's a classic science fiction story that I cannot remember now where people do exactly that. If it becomes a problem, the car can transmit images of the jaywalkers to the police.
