MODERATORS
I can't remember for the life of me where I read it, but I remember reading a kinda sci-fi/fantasyish novel in my teens that had universal ai controlled cars, and the main character asked how they didn't get into accidents sometimes and the other characters were like "are you stupid? It's one centralised ai controlling them all" and that stuck with me as an obvious requirement for driverless cars.
Anyway I don't think any current driverless car creators read that book.
I remember during the initial hype for driverless cars there was a plan for cars to have ad hoc/ mesh networks with each other so they could perfectly optimize traffic and weave lane changes and left turns in between much smaller gaps than humans can. Somehow it seems just as far away as when it was first proposed.
Probably further away than when it was first proposed tbh
