- amirmc 12y agoI think the goal would be not to need those special maps at all. (In the long run). In any case, no-one is disputing that driverless cars are coming. Just reminding the over-zealous that there are real obstacles to overcome.
- thaumasiotes 12y agoHuh? In the long run, having the maps is trivially easy. Roads aren't naturally occurring. If they can be helpful (which seems certain, since human navigators also rely heavily on having the area they're driving through memorized), why wouldn't we use them?
- DanBC 12y agoThe specialised maps are far too noisy for human navigators to use.
- thaumasiotes 12y agoSo? I'm just pointing out that we don't expect anyone to navigate without maps -- there's no reason for automated cars to be different. amirmc said "the goal would be not to need those special maps at all", but that's contrary to navigation as practiced since the dawn of time. Given the ease of creating the maps, it makes infinitely more sense to have maps and better navigation than no maps and worse navigation.
