> You just need to see what the car sensed

I don't think all self-driving cars have the same sensors.

If you have LIDAR model X, and they were using LIDAR model Y, will your system "magically figure it out?

If your car has cameras at 5ft high, and the data is from a camera 6ft high?

Sure, someone could release the data, but will it screw up your models more than it fixes them?

(I totally agree the data should be released, I'm just not sure other self-driving cars will directly benefit. Certainly they can indirectly benefit from it.)



Is the design of self driving cars so limited that we will have to go through this every time carmakers must redesign hardware and/or vehicles themselves? Will the experiences of a sedan be impossible to transport to the experience of a semi truck? And vice versa?

The idea you present is possible, but I have to wonder how viable it makes the idea of self driving cars.


when self driving cars becOme ubiquitous it will be thru a renting model and therefore the fleet can be updated accordingly by companies owning them.
