Re: Clippy behind the wheel
I think a decent step in the mean time is for assisted driving vehicles to be able to communicate to each other. Ships do this. On long straight roads the vehicle in front can tag along, with the driver (or autonomous vehicle) in the front handling obstructions up ahead. Between long stretches of motorway with limited exits this would almost certainly be safer than each driver having to stay alert. The vehicle in the front is closer to the obstruction. You could achieve near instantaneous simultaneous braking and avoid the concertina effect. Without the need for all cars to be autonomous.
