The thing is that humans are actually pretty good at driving
1 fatal crash per 100 million miles
This is an average over all roads, all types of weather, and all states
of driver inattention
- On motorways and similar highways (with fewer challenges), it is 1
fatal crash per 400 million miles.
So there is a lot of mileage (excuse the pun) in *assisting* the driver
rather than replacing him/her, e.g.
-detecting driver inattention/sleepiness/drunkenness
-blocking misuse of mobile phones
-vision enhancement (infra-red / radar imaging / all round view cameras)
-collision detection / emergency braking
Such driver assistance could feasibly reduce the fatal accident rate by
an order of magnitude
- a challenging target for a fully autonomous vehicle.
