How a driverless car sees the world.
In the video they talk about the difference between driver assistance cars and self-driving cars, the time and coding that goes into making self-driving cars as safe as possible, and how the car reacts to random situations. They use infrared lasers and information from other cars to know how to respond. I believe that in my lifetime, the first self driving car will come out, but for now it still needs to work out the kinks and glitches.

Well if the car started driving to a cliff, don't we want a way to have human intelligence behind the wheel? The fact is we need wheels for human driving. The car will be flawed and need something that can make decisions that the programming is not prepared for.
ReplyDeleteI would hope that the car would have a powerful and advanced firewall to prevent just that. The problem is, a firewall can only do so much. There will always be someone better, and because of that, there will always be danger.
ReplyDeleteTrey, both of these are excellent questions. I do believe that hacking could be a major concern. How they secure the cars computer codes would be a great topic for investigation.
