what conflicts do u envision when self driving vehicles coexist with human-operated vehicles?​

Sagot :

Answer:

Since the cars are prioritizing safety, they might drive in a defensive mode to keep people safe. This might be an issue, when other road users willing try to cut in, cut out, give close calls to the car, and see the car being stopped or slowed down multiple times.

Answer:

It will be a long time before any system gains enough market penetration for any conflict to exist. This assumes Level 5 even happens at all.

More than five years ago bold predictions were made and nothing has hit the market since. All systems currently out there are either closed taxi systems or systems that require the driver to be ready to take control. There are significant barriers to moving beyond this point.

Meanwhile, there have been significant shifts in the mainstream auto market that would hobble rolling out any new product to the masses. Right now, and for the foreseeable future your only option is to buy a car like a Tesla that is really just a replacement for a BMW with little real utility.

When we get on the other side of this pandemic and the economic fallout of it there will be a reckoning coming for the auto industry. Too many people have been priced out of the new car market and the fleet of used cars is shrinking thanks to rental car companies going bankrupt. Over priced, limited utility cars will always have a niche. Nothing present today or the near future speaks to the other 95% of the market. Until it does autonomy is a toy for people willing to risk their 40k+ car so they only sort of have to drive.
