Game Theory Taken Seriously For Advancing Self-Driving Cars

When you get onto the freeway, you are essentially entering into the matrix. For those of you familiar with the movie of the same name, you'll realize that I am suggesting that you are entering into a kind of simulated world as your car proceeds up the freeway onramp and into the flow of traffic. Whether you know it or not, you are indeed opting into playing a game, though one much more serious than an amusement park bumper cars arena. On the freeway, you are playing a game of life-and-death. It might seem like you are merely driving to work or trying to get to the ballgame, but the reality is that for every moment you are on the freeway you are at risk of your life.
