What happens with sensor interference when there are "54 million self-driving vehicles in 2035" ?
- greendesk 12y agoI expect a constant review of the sensor performance and adjustment. The truck in question is part of a decade-old testing phase, according to the article. This will provide a lot of information, which can help navigate the issue of sensor interference. Sensor malfunction was a constant worry when I worked on small robotics projects. I hope that car companies, which have much bigger resources than I can afford on my projects, will spend sufficient effort on making sensor interference and various malfunctions not degrade the operation of an autonomous vehicle.
- danpat 12y agoThere are techniques for reducing the effects of active sensor interference, for example: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~motionplanning/papers/sbp_papers/integrated3/kleeman_sonar_reject.pdf http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~motionplanning/papers/sbp_papers/inte... As long as the usable sensor density is higher than how tightly we can pack these vehicles, then we're probably OK.
