Self-Driving Cars May Be Programmed to Sacrifice Cyclists in a Crash - The Chainlink2024-03-29T05:57:32Zhttps://thechainlink.org/forum/topics/self-driving-cars-may-be-programmed-to-sacrifice-cyclists-in-a?commentId=2211490%3AComment%3A1109016&feed=yes&xn_auth=noHyundai is already advertisin…tag:thechainlink.org,2018-11-02:2211490:Comment:11088592018-11-02T14:36:12.677ZNora FWhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/NoraFW
<p>Hyundai is already advertising something like this, called Safe Exit Assist. It is of course only for back doors so kids don't hop out without looking and get hit by something. It would be spectacular to see it on every door in the car.</p>

<p>What frightens me as a driver or passenger is watching those speeding jackasses who seem to think they're in an action movie, going 30 or 40mph over the limit and weaving in and out of the flow of traffic, cutting in front of semis with inches to spare.</p>

<p>A few car manufacturers are working on systems that do exactly what you are describing:</p>

<p>Joking aside, the ability to keep up with the flow of traffic is a significant issue, regardless of the posted speed limit. Traffic moving at wildly varying speeds is dangerous, and I don't want to be the passenger in a car doing the speed limit on the Dan Ryan when the other cars are whizzing by me at 75+ mph.</p>

<p>Will they be smart enough to lock the doors if they detect a cyclist approaching to prevent dooring? I guess I'll have to trademark the term "The Turing Reach".</p>

<p>No, that won't work. You need the new Raytheon laser directed image projector to holographically display an approaching cement truck upon the windshield of the target vehicle.

<p>Self-driving cars may never catch on for the simple reason that they won't drive 50+mph in 30mph zones.</p>
