Immaterial unless the vehicles are talking to each other with enough detail to avoid such accidents...

All very promising..... Except for this sort of large scale big-plan doesn't ever work in reality. At the best communication between nearby vehicles will be extremely basic and prone to errors and missed communications. The Google car will use the proprietary 'Google car-talk', meanwhile the Micrrosfot and Apple cars will use their own versions. The only common denominators will meean that they'll be lucky if they manage to communicate position within 10metres, speed to the nearest 5mph and direction to nearest minute. When in reality you'll need position to the metre, size, speed to the nearest .1 mph and direction to a fraction of one second. - + full agreement on where North is! (and no-one is going to communicate with the Huawei car anyway).



Of course then it will also be prone to constant drops and lags in communication.... Every tried to setup a wifi network with 40+ users?
