A GUIDE TO CHALLENGES FACING SELF-DRIVING CAR TECHNOLOGISTS

 

Here are some of them:

  • The ability to respond to spoken commands or hand signals from law enforcement or highway safety employees.
  • Driving safely despite unclear lane markings.
  • Reliably recognizing traffic lights that are not working.
  • Making left turns into intersections with fast-moving traffic.
  • Detecting which small objects in the roadway must be avoided.
  • The ability to operate safely in all weather conditions. Software improvements to lidar (short for light detection and ranging) technology may help someday, but not yet.
  • There is no evidence yet that autonomous cars will be any more secure than any other networked computers.
