> “A stop sign—rather than a ‘yield’ sign—is there to make sure people have the opportunity to look both ways and see nobody is coming,” Kornhauser says. “But with 360-degree camera coverage, lidars and radars, those automated cars know in a 20th of a second whether something is coming. Why should we require them to come to a complete stop?” I would make the same argument for a human with gamer-level twitch reflexes and high-level situation awareness. What sense does it make to completely stop your vehicle when you've been constantly monitoring oncoming traffic, cross traffic, and sidewalk traffic? We have developed a set of rules (laws) for a rules-engine that will abandon rules when there's an situation that will optimize without those rules. AKA a human. And we've replaced that with a different rules-engine that's designed to absolutely obey rules. And so we're finding that our rules aren't working anymore.
