I was driving around doing the things that one has to do at the weekend when I got to a part of a road where there was traffic parked on both sides of the road and the remaining carriage way was not wide enough for 2 cars to pass.
It got me wondering that unless "autononomous" vehicles were not really autonomous but actually communicated with each other, then situations like that may be difficult.
Also I wondered how autonomous vehicles would learn where to park at people's houses? I know there is an argument that people won't own cars and they all be driverless Ubers, but unless that happens they'll have to park somewhere, which may be "down the alley and round the back".
Finally, returning the the narrow street situation above. If cars actually do communicate, will some have priority over others (emergency vehicles, BMWs & Audis being obvious examples of vehicles that should be given priority)?
Interesting times, ahead.....
