What's claimed to be the world's first purpose built autonomous taxi, not a concept or a trial.

I fail to see the point in that, after all, who do you have this conversation with ? AI !

As has already been reported in an article on the mandatory fitting of speed limiters to all production cars.

Saw sometime in the last week (Telegraph or Guardian prob) that Tesla cars have been placed under some restrictions in the USA, as its been found they cannot 'see' adequately in poor weather conditions as they are entirely camera dependent. Other companies are apparently incorporating radar or laser beams (as well as camera ?) so can 'see' better through mist, fog, heavy rain etc, thought their 'driving skills' are otherwise less advanced than Tesla.
I cannot imagine even contemplating sending vehicles out onto the road unable to attain vital info in such common conditions.
How did they ever get permission to test on the road at all, with such dangerous limitations?

The latest Not Just Bikes puts the boot in (the trunk to US readers 😉) to driverless cars. 50 minutes but a lot of analysis, a little frog-boiling and some suggestions about what to do:

Yes, there have been a couple of YT videos on the subject and it has been recorded here in the UK too (under test conditions). The use of cameras for vision is a cheap and simple method but (as any photographer will attest) cameras don't see through fog, pouring rain or snow very well. Much better are systems that use LIDAR as that is virtually unaffected by adverse weather conditions, can see in the dark (even without the vehicle lights on) and can resolve much small obstacles that simple optics.

I read something the other day, it might have been on TV, but anyway.
What happens when the AI needs to make a decision that will result in harm to someone, how will it decide who to harm. So what they meant was that if the vehicle is going to hit someone, and the AI can make a decision to avoid that person and hit someone else. How does it decide what to do, will we see AI being programmed to avoid children at the expense of hitting adults, or other similar clauses?

That's the cyclists overtaking the tanker and the building(school/factory/hospital) scenario.
