Will there be more carjackings when self-driving cars are more common?
Almost all, (all?), self driving cars and cars with crash avoidance also have pedestrian avoidance, PA, technology that automatically applies the brakes when a pedestrian is in the path of the car.
Will carjackers eventually figure out that they can immobilize a car in traffic by just standing in front and behind it?
I don’t have that feature in my car. If someone, or a group, tries to stop me by standing in my path they will be “unsuccessful” to say the least.
Can the PA function be overridden quickly?
