Whoa hold on, table 1 of stopping distances is calculated for 2.5 second reaction time which is 10x longer than conventional human reaction time. Then the stopping distances are compared to radar/lidar/camera to argue that AVs can struggle to stop within detection range.
It's possible a computer might need 2.5s to make a decision to stop. But the current analysis isn't based on that.
This analysis seems really suspect to me. Any clarification would be appreciated.
