Re: Why autonomous cars won't be able to drive properly...
Why would an autonomous vehicle (in the future anyway, I'm not sure about 'now') not beable to plan to pull in? Currently, AVs (as I understand it ) run on routes which have already been lidar mapped, so can x-ref their location. Howver, again AIUI, the intent is to 'crowd source' maps from other ve...

Re: Why autonomous cars won't be able to drive properly...
How about the non-autonomous car is trying to merge into a lane full of autonomous cars. At what point does one of them ease off to let you blend in? But it's not a show-stopper...it could be programmed that when at slow speed where 2 lanes merge, to ease off and zip-merge. Autonomous cars are gett...

They'll follow rules. Tell us how merging 'rules' currently vary, or are implemented, from, say, UK to India via Dubai
I've seen video of people deliberately walking out in front of an autonomous vehicle. It stopped each time.

Re: NDORS - does it work?
