If someone stands in front of one of these cars then I imagine it will stay still. Someone could probably commandeer it at that point. A person in the same situation might sense they are in danger and try to get away. I would be ok with having the self driving car give itself over since that is safer for the public, but what if there is a human passenger in the self driving car?

- partisan 11y agoOne person stands in front of the car to stop it. The next person smashes a window and jumps in. What comes next is a guess, but they would probably do something to override the controls. I imagine that there must be an override button on the car somewhere, otherwise you have literally no control over the car in the event of an emergency. I don't know that they can prevent it through fail-safes. I think they can discourage it, at best, but as with any system, people will find a way to force the system to suit their needs.
- kleer001 11y agoThat sounds like a pretty easy fix. I bet there's several ways to prevent that. No Ai necessary. Acceleration profiles, non accident window breaking, area criminality profiling, speed profiling... As soon as you get expert systems into it it gets even easier. No problem.
