Eye
on safety, California sets tight rules for self-driving cars; driver must be
behind wheel
-------
>>> Among other safety-related requirements, the cars must have a steering wheel, and a licensed driver must be ready to take over if the machine fails.<<<
>>> The cars use a suite of sensors — including radar, lasers and cameras — and onboard computers to drive.<<<
>>> Eleven companies already have permission to test on California's public roads, with Ford the latest addition. There have been scattered collisions, nearly all involving Google cars. Those collisions have been minor, and the tech giants says each has been caused by drivers of other cars.<<<
Computers and software do have bugs as well as hardware including sensors, camera, radar, and road sensors if any. The traffic lights and electricity could go off at any time. Could a car afford several computers and sensors running in parallel and higher fault tolerance?
Banks have several super computers running in parallel. The telecom equipment also has 2 specialized computers in parallel. However those computers are very expensive.
The accidents involved were caused by other drivers, but if the self- driving car had a driver would the accidents avoided?
