It&#x27;s interesting to read the accident reports for autonomous vehicle testing. Most of them go something like, &quot;The autonomous vehicle stopped when legally required, and the human-driven car behind it didn&#x27;t notice and rammed the autonomous vehicle.&quot;<p>People come up with all sorts of crazy failure modes for autonomous vehicles. What if the sensors fail open at the same time another car is speeding and the sun is at a 37 degree angle and a family of ducks is crossing the road.... Meanwhile the current gold standard can&#x27;t be counted on to stop when the vehicle in front stops.
