Self-driving cars are taking longer to arrive on our roads than we thought they would. Auto industry experts and tech companies predicted they’d be here by 2020 and go mainstream by 2021. But it turns out that putting cars on the road without drivers is a far more complicated endeavor than initially envisioned, and we’re still inching very slowly towards a vision of autonomous individual transport.
But the extended timeline hasn’t discouraged researchers and engineers, who are hard at work figuring out how to make self-driving cars efficient, affordable, and most importantly, safe. To that end, a research team from the University of Michigan recently had a novel idea: expose driverless cars to terrible drivers. They described their approach in a paper published last week in Nature.
