One man's self driving tesla didn't sense a large trailer truck next to it because the trailer was so high that the sensor didn't know it was there and merged right under the truck decapitating the driver.
Nothing is really perfect and the likelihood that every vehicle becomes autonomous on the road in our lifetimes is pretty low.
It would have to be mandated that 100 percent of all vehicles on road have to be self driving and can speak to each other for it to truly be an almost free accident environment... I'm not necessarily against it but we are a long ways from that being possible through law and availability on the market
There will be fights for people to have the right to continue to drive old cars if government just said no car can be registered and driven unless it's autonomous.
So basically you contradicted your own statement
There wouldn't be 100 of all automated vehicles on the road, so it wouldn't be safe
- How about when there's bad weather like a snowstorm or rainstorm? Sensors are faulty as fukk when that happens
- How about pedestrian traffic, which is literally the most random occurrence possible, how would the cars be able to avoid it in a split second the way humans can? So you want pedestrians to were sensors to so the cars can recognize them?
- How about if there's construction on the road, how can the cars accurately swerve around it?
- How about if a sensor is fukked up in a school zone, and it runs over hundreds of children
It's all cool until some real shyt happens
