在 TechCrunch 看到加州要開放自駕車上路了:「California to allow testing of self-driving cars without a driver present」。
California’s Department of Motor Vehicles established new rules announced Monday that will allow tech companies and others working on driverless vehicle systems to begin trialling their cars without a safety driver at the wheel. The new rules go into effect starting April 2.
不過不是完全獨立運作,而是有附加條件,讓遠端的控制中心可以在必要時介入:
This doesn’t mean test vehicles will be out there on the roads without any kind of human intervention backup – the DMV will require that those testing autonomous cars without a driver present have a dedicated communications channel that ties the car to a remote operator, who can take over if needed. The cars will also need to be hardened against cyber attacks and be able to provide their owner and operator info to any other parties in the event of an accident.
馬上想到刷機 JB... XD
