Re: Maintainance?

So now make the car drive itself....

-so now let the human drive the car

1 Do you trust that all the lines of code have been adequately tested?

-how recently did it pass its test and how much of the Highway Code does it recollect?

2 Do you trust the error recovery vectors in the code?

-does it know what to do in an emergency such as loss of traction on a slippery surface?

3 Do you trust all the wiring, sensors & interconnections?

-is its brain fully functional and have its eyes been tested and corrected recently?

4 Has it been hacked?

-is it on drugs or just plain malicious?

The biggest problem on the roads is people who think they are more competent than they really are.
