Transportation and software science

I am still on this kick about driver's licensing software. Namely, what is the standard driving test for the average bot? Start with the California writers and driving tests, call that a rule book. We can allow translation of these tests into some text language, compilable by software, in the sense of executing actions within the rules. The categories of software defied rules corresponding to section and chapter from the book. The rules can grow, quite extensively, as long as their compilation remains defined, and there are scenario cases against which to run.

Simulation objects used to test the Navigation Logic might be a frame sequence from real video, rapidly changing dedicated short range wireless, on board sensor detections. Open software consortia can openly discuss to, object about, an agree upon the adequacy of the scenario tests. It would move the industry much further along.

The rule book is much easier learned with embedded wireless in the roadways, accurate maps, and location beeping between cars. Deficiencies and cost strategies would become apparent with a good rule design.

Any software consortium that could construct a usable rule set would bring strong interest from insurance companies, in term of money and employment.
