yes, making autonomous driving work in central Delhi or Agadir will be much different from a US highway.

Maybe it's too cyberpunk, but I can already see the headline of road pirates capturing autonomous cars and taking them apart for spares. Those sensors, the GPU and computing units are quite valuable.

Your impression of Delhi and Agadir doesn't seem right to me. By the numbers, Delhi has the highest crime-rate in india, but it has a 5 times lower rate of crime than San Francisco does.

And also, self-driving cars will all have enough cameras and be constantly connected to a server that theft will be far less likely for them than regular cars... and regular calls already seem to get by just fine without people stripping them to the bolts.

I meant the kind of traffic they have, I've driven there, it's unique!

Unreported crimes aren't factored into the stats you quote.

That works on both sides of the equation, as someone who lived both in NA and Morocco. There's similar levels of unreported crime.

You seem to think that data being sent to a server will stop physical theft. That's an... Optimistic point of view to say the least.
