This event has me thinking about job of the behind-the-wheel backup driver. They get an easier job than a real driver, at the cost of potentially taking the fall if an accident occurs. I wonder if the pay is better.
- TylerE 8y agoI actually don't think it's really easier. Continuous attention is easier to maintain than hours of boredom only to have to react out of nowhere...maybe.
- icc97 8y agoIt's an equivalent job to a train driver
- mrguyorama 8y agoTrain drivers have immense amounts of regulation and systems in place to verify that they are paying attention and actually driving the train:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sifa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sifa
- icc97 8y agoYes exactly, we should be applying similar rules to the self-driving drivers.
