Now I’m imagining an adversarial network of vehicles straight out of Mad Max & Death Race...
Now that would be a cool competition. Self-driving cars dropped into a random locale, it would be a no-holds-barred race to the finish line/battle royale. No human drivers means so safety concerns!
For this, train the cars in DC.
Clearly you haven't driven in some European cities — and I'm sure there are places that can top that :-)
As do I. I wonder in particular if there's a possibility that the (I presume) ML behind these things can start to distinguish human from machine drivers, how quickly that determination might be made, and react accordingly.
It'll be interesting when the characteristics of the cars are known. Eg you can cut in front of a Tesla and it'll stop, but dont do the same for a Chevy.
