Ok, police should watch you. You clearly have sociopathic tendencies:P
More seriously.
Doing that stuff will work on a human driver as well.
If you think our brains will have time to think "No, that's not a REAL object in front of me, I'll just go through it" you're dreaming. In those timeframes, we act on instinct.
When discussing this stuff, so many people seem to have the idea that humans are capable of making complex decisions and seeing through trickery in timeframes of half a second.... Or even a few seconds.
We're just not.
For a computer, on the other hand, those timeframes are an eternity. Physics is the bigger problem.
Yeah....
Lots of places don't get snow.
I'm a Queenslander (Australia) I didn't see snow until I was 20.
I've also lived in England..... Humans are pretty bad at dealing with snow as well. I mean, they're just terrible.
>>No -- it gets updates as they're updated, not as they happen.>Also, how detailed will the info the cars hold be? Example -- I grew up in a town that flooded. One underpass had a dip in the road that could hold 3 to 4 feet of water, more than enough to stop a car and possibly harm the occupants.>Would an autonomous car stop at any amount of water detected on a road? (Not necessarily correct.) Would it try to drive through? (Not correct either.) Will it know the depth of the bridge and the flooding behavior?
Would a human who doesn't know the area?
This being said: One single car would be caught out by an area. That would be logged and never be a problem for anyone again.
Put in an LCD that's capable of flipping someone off.
That, plus indicators, covers close to 100% of communication requirements.
More seriously:
A cyclist and pedestrian don't want to step in front of something that weighs a ton that's travelling at high speed. I don't care who's driving, it doesn't make a difference. Inertia says that the only reason that person doesn't become a Darwin awards entrant is because the method of death is so...... Pedestrian....

I can't speak for deer, but the official line for kangaroos is: Hit the thing. You're far less likely to be killed.... Don't swerve. Ever.
