Roadshow readers have plenty to say about the suggestion that the driving world would be better off with just AVs on the road.
enthusiasm for the potential of AVsFor AVs to truly work, they must talk to one another in real time, and the infrastructure must be smarter. Programming autonomous behavior is very difficult.
Doing this will require standards. The government is pretty good at getting technology companies to agree upon standards, but it is not a rapid process.I don’t know if we’ll ever see 100 percent autonomous vehicles, but Wes’ prediction of no traffic lights might rankle some non-autonomous pedestrians. The mix of human-driven cars and AV’s is a dangerous one, and hard on AV designers
A big issue with interacting with driverless vehicles is not being able to make eye contact. Many collisions are avoided when someone realizes that evasive action is needed, or when someone catches a driver’s attention and stops them from screwing up.I laughed at Wes Christensen’s ideal roadways, filled with AVs. His assessment that all driving woes would then be banished forever is unrealistic.
AVs have a place in the transportation system, but that should not be decided by for-profit companies who do not have everyone’s best interests in mind.I met you when you were a panelist about a decade ago at the Progress Seminar, a retreat of San Mateo County elected officials and business people, hosted by the San Mateo Chamber of Commerce.
