  • It makes a lot of sense. I make eye contact with drivers, because then I’m mostly sure they’ve seen me.

    With a driverless car I’d like to know it has acknowledged me, so I can start crossing the road. Otherwise I’ll wait until it has completely stopped. So there needs to be some sort of feedback that’s intuitive. Might as well be eyes.



  • That’s true in theory, but if you talk about megameters to a European you’ll get very weird looks.

    An engineer will understand what you mean, but still laugh at you.

    But it’s a non-issue for anything on earth, where you’ll have 40.000 kilometers at most. Not a lot of time is spent talking about x thousand kilometer.

    Any notion that a kilometer is “too small” is laughable.
