Tim Y.C 🌐🌍Self driving cars is a cultural phenomenon that could only arise on the west coast USA. No sane individual would look at the streets of NYC and convince themselves that they could get a car to navigate through it on its own. Are there even any self driving companies based out of the East Coast USA? @notjustbikes #autopilot #selfDrivingCar #tesla #publictransit #transit
michelle.cat@clsytim @notjustbikes Drones need special FAA clearance to fly in flight restricted areas something similar can be done with autonomous cars the geoboundaries change periodically based on a number of conditions open highways on a clear day yes , highways in inclement weather no , busy surface roads no
@mcvresearch @notjustbikes precise geobounding is actually quite tricky. It's even harder in cities with skyscrapers where GPS get scattered easily. I know uber was doing research to reduce error from this but it was mostly mitigation not a full resolution.
@clsytim @notjustbikes I don’t think they need to be precise though LANNC zones for instance are pretty broad when it comes to restricted zones such as airports and hospitals
