In these days I’m driving an Infiniti Q30, I find it very pretty and even if it has the wrong wheel drive, it can be fun too 🙂
One of the things I like best about this machine is electronic stuff. One of the driving aids I noticed is the autonomous reading of the road signs. I found the thing interesting also because I immediately looked at it from the standpoint of autonomous driving. Right about this context yesterday I noticed something that I did not like. Passing behind a tourist bus I noticed that the car read as a speed limit, as reported by the heavy vehicle that preceded me in a sticker that reported its maximum speed on the highway. In the picture you can see little because I was driving and I took it at a run. However, you can guess what happens: the car signals me as a speed limit of 80 km / h (instead of the 50 real ones) because the coach in front has a sticker that indicates its maximum speed on the highway in 80 km / h.
I noticed this behavior on several occasions between yesterday and today.
Today this is not a big problem, I guide and I know the limits and I know what directions to follow. But if she were driving, wouldn’t it be too easy to deceive her? And in the case of autonomous driving, any fines, who should pay them? Who was in the car? No, he wasn’t driving! The owner? No, he didn’t even drive! The manufacturer of the vehicle? Who hadn’t passed a patch in time?
I leave you with these doubts and with the invitation to use the right pedal until we can do it 🙂
