Autonomous vehicles originated from a mechanical engineering perspective, viewed as cars. However, for a car, the automation of the machine itself is not crucial; it can only function effectively by accounting for the road it drives on. The road we are traveling on today has not been constructed overnight; rather, it is the result of interactions with individuals that have led to the development of roads for humans, wagons, and cars. Therefore, for autonomous vehicles to operate fully on the road, both automobile automation and the necessary road infrastructure for autonomous driving must be developed in accordance with this automation. However, roads do not change easily overnight. For autonomous vehicles to truly achieve autonomy, we must reconsider the relationship between cause and effect. When cause and effect are reversed, the problem is never solved. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In September 1999, NASA’s unmanned Mars climate probe “MCO” exploded in Mars’ orbit. Manufacturer Lockheed Martin set up the data unit as a “yard,” but NASA mistook it as a “meter.” The MCO entered the atmosphere of Mars 100 km below the original orbit and exploded in friction. Communication error had blown away $ 125 million. With this opportunity, NASA decided that the units used in space development were “meters”. A slip of the tongue in business doesn’t end just a mistake accidentally. It must undoubtedly damage the “cash flow”. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
