Why do you assume self driving cars have to communicate with other cars to be effective? The cars already have sensors far more advanced than us humans have.
And why would the roads need sensors?
I do believe it would benefit self driving cars to have areas where only they are allowed, and in the future I foresee that being the case as the cars can drive faster and closer together if not driven by a human. But this shouldn't be a necessity when cars gets more advanced.
Progress is fast and if history has showed us anything it's that history is impossible to predict. About 100 years ago flight was thought as an impossibility until the Wright brothers proved us wrong and look where we are today.
In 100 years what role will self driving cars have? I'm certainly leaning toward it being mainstream, even considered normal, to see them everywhere.
Then again, some would say we would have flying cars by then.
- Siecje 13y agoIf there are three cars beside each other A B C Car A is driven by a human and steers into car B. If car B could communicate with car C it could ask it to move over (or slow down) so that it (car B) can move out of the way of car A.
- lawn 13y agoOh yes, if cars would communicate they would behave better. But they don't have to do that to be effective. If A B C are all driven by humans, C could move over or slow down if it sees that B is steering into it. But self driving cars could do that as well. That self driving cars could communicate is an argument for the self driving car, not against it as the parent made it out be.
