wouldn't you agree that having additional information about drivers around you could potentially make your trip safer/faster/better? Seems pretty obvious that by knowing more, you can only improve your driving experience...

it doesn't even matter who compiles this information, doesn't really even matter if it's 100% accurate.... for example: you look at weather report and see there is 30% chance of rain tomorrow, so you pack an umbrella to work just in case... no rain next day, no harm done...

same with drivers, driver ahead of you gets profiled as 30% risky, your car puts extra 5 feet space between you... if the algorithm turns out to be wrong, no harm done...

but if it's not wrong, the additional information it had and the action it took (5 extra feet of space) could potentially save your life...

you've developed an intuition when driving right? it's not based entirely on visual clues or on knowing a person's driving history or the condition of the vehicle. it's based on a 6th sense, and you count on it to keep you safe and to get you to your destination.


the most important part of intuition is..........

no reasoning required.


a computer driving algo is based entirely on reasoning.
