It's really interesting because that's something they definitely don't teach you when you first learn to drive. Growing up in Florida, I learned to pull over and turn on emergency blinkers if the rain gets bad enough. The reason I know to do this is because I saw other drivers do this on the highway and realized that's pretty wise. It's tempting to imagine that a younger version of me would have been smart enough to realize this on my own but I think most of us learn a lot by observing the behavior of others. Or maybe I would have learned eventually after a few close calls with skidding. Or maybe I would have never learned until it's too late. I wonder if the different responses to averse conditions you've observed is a function of the different experiences we've had as drivers. You might be a more experienced driver than some of those around you.

Humans have one advantage over autonomous cars in ice: they can pull over and put on chains. Cars can’t do that (yet).

(I’d love to see a serious winter vehicle that can deploy traction devices by itself, perhaps while rolling at very low speed. Off the top of my head, it seems like it might be easier to put them on then to take them off.)

Sounds preferable to a dystopia where AI driven cars are getting into wrecks because they’re overconfident in their abilities.

I picture one where it locks the doors and drives you right to the ICE center as soon as the facial recognition cameras realize who you are

even better if this is the only way to get around. no transport for whoever the Trump admin decides is insufficiently loyal!

y'all need to get more creative with your dystopias

Stop signs became universal. No reason why machine readable signals/devices to communicate don’t become the norm with law enforcement and emergency response workers.
