New international regulations could pave the way for self-driving cars

#artificialintelligence

According to the resolution, the where and how Level 3 will be allowed is spelled out in detailed specificity. Any self-driving car will require a data-collecting "black box" for the ALKS system. They will operate only in lanes without pedestrians or cyclists, there will have to be a physical "separation" between traffic moving in opposite directions and the cars will be limited to a maximum of 60 kilometres an hour while in self-driving mode. These last two might require some deft stickhandling since low speed often means urban centres with both pedestrian and cyclists. The cars will also have to be equipped with Driver Availability Recognition Systems which test whether the human seated at the wheel could take over if need be.
