You said that the car doesn't need to know the difference between a bridge and a ditch and I'm saying that it definitely does.
No, retard. You said "bridge" and "child". Now you're trying to change it to "ditch". Go back and read what you posted, retard.
You said that the car should only stay on course
with it's only recourse being to stop and I'm not sure that's enough.
That's because you are retarded.
I'm not saying the computer needs to do something it's not programmed to do.
Yes you did. You said it had to break with the program. Fuck you, retard.
I'm saying the computer needs to be programmed to do stuff that violates standard road rules when that is the safest option.
No, retard. Because that means that the robot-car needs to be programmed to recognize "child" and "bridge" and to have different decision paths for those.
And that at least one of those decision paths results in the car driving off a bridge.
Fuck you, retard.
It can't stay on a predefined path ignoring
everything on the side of the road with it's only recourse being to stop.
Who said it was ignoring anything, retard? You are retarded. It scans the side of the road for approaching obstacles.
But it treats every obstacle the same. There is no "child" decision path.
And when there is an obstacle that it is not programmed to avoid, it stops and turns control over to the person in it.
There is NEVER a "drive off a bridge" option. Never. You are retarded for suggesting it.
