Gaming in Autonomous Vehicles

Further distraction, but if you 'solve' the safety of autonomy, and people are no long in control,  then why not.   The term 'driver' starts to lose its definition, all passengers could become participants.  And if we choose proximity, or other definitions of possible invitation of participation?  Is that different than any other kind of game participation?   AR/VR can also come into play.  Intrigued by the idea, but still awaiting the safety solution.

Researchers bring gaming to autonomous vehicles    by University of Waterloo in TechExplore.

Researchers have designed multiplayer games occupants of autonomous vehicles can play with other players in nearby self-driving cars.

A new study, led by researchers from the University of Waterloo details three games created for level three and higher semi-autonomous vehicles. The researchers also made suggestions for many exciting types of in-car games for future exploration.

Level three and higher semi-autonomous vehicles are those that have, at minimum, environmental detection capabilities and can make informed decisions for themselves.

"As autonomous vehicles start to replace conventional vehicles, occupants will have much more free time than they used to," said Matthew Lakier, a Ph.D. student in Waterloo's School of Computer Science. "You could use time spent in commute to read a book, watch a movie, get ahead on work, or browse the internet. Still, not everything you do has to be all isolated.  .... "
