That was human error. DST is easy to handle programmatically, the computer you’re sitting at does it twice a year, so does your phone probably. Depending on what kind of features are in your car it very well might ALREADY be successfully dealing with DST. I’ve “proposed” a system that used stuff we’re putting in cars RIGHT NOW. The only big addition is adding light reading to the cameras, which will be absolutely necessary for any form of self driving anyway.
And I’ll reiterate we’ve already got a lot more in cars RIGHT NOW. Lane control is already there, speed control been there for decades and getting better every generation. Collision avoidance already there. These are ALL self driving features that have been introduced. Look at the guy upthread talking about is 2014 jeep that can handle itself on the freeway, yes indeed they have been introducing these features.
Yes, but do they only speak Spanish and brake for Latinos?
The truckers from south of the border are so much more remarkably adept in the Norteamericano business model.
Today is a holiday...chances are theane switch is dicferent on holidays and weekends, than it is during the week.
I am reminded of when my place of work first got automatic locks. The building locks itself at 5:15 pm and opens back ul at 7:45 in the morning...and is locked all weekend. Guess what happened the first long weekend? We inadvertantly left the building open all day on Monday. So the car’s system would have to know the timing of all dual direction freeway lanes, including weekends, holidays, special events (there’s a stadium in St.Louis), and rely on continuous human input to get this right. Again this is just one small example of tbe thousands of problems to overcome.
And once more, none of the accident avoidance type systems you are listing have anything to do with driverless cars....don’t believe me name one that allows the driver to close his eyes, even for as little as ten seconds.
