It will be interesting when four self-driving cars arrive at a 4-way Stop sign intersection at the same time.
Will they know what to do when they arrive at a controlled light intersection when the controls are out and Police are directing traffic.
Will they pull over when a funeral possession is approaching?
Will they know not to drive into a flooded underpass (submarine technology?)?
Will they try to avoid running over turtles in the road in the spring?
Will they dodge, tire shredding potholes in Detroit?
When it's snowing will they know to speed up before the hill in order to have enough speed to carry itself over the crest before spinning to a stop. Or as soon as it detects moisture and temps of 32 and below will it just pull into the nearest parking lot and shut down to hibernate?
Will a squirrel crossing the road in front of them send their computer into a psychotic conniption fit?
Will they pause for panhandlers at intersections approaching the door or drive off?
Can they be programmed to park out in the far areas of the parking lot at Walmart to avoid all the housewife and kids banging up your doors and running shopping carts into your pride and joy?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
Just had a thought - I should have Googled these questions.
