Re: Reasonable defaults - instinctive swerve
The instinctive swerve when encountering a fast moving unclassified object is more or less built into humans.
I assume is is part of the evolutionary threat model.
Advanced driving includes learning not to swerve to avoid a squirrel in the road which then results in hitting a vehicle in the other lane or a pedestrian beside the road. Or ending up in a ditch.
I wonder if the programmers were aware of this and compensated too much?
Nah.
