Why Autonomous Vehicles Can't Handle Funeral Processions

Episode 51 of Self-Driving Cars with Fexingo tackles a bizarre but critical edge case: funeral processions. Lucas and Luna break down why autonomous vehicles struggle with the convoy behavior, right-of-way violations, and social norms of funeral processions. They reference recent market moves in Rivian and Lucid, and explain how a single procession in Ohio last year exposed fundamental gaps in AV perception and decision-making. The hosts also discuss why this matters for public trust and regulatory approval, and how companies like Waymo and Tesla are approaching the problem. Plus, a brief, ad-free moment on listener support. #AutonomousVehicles #SelfDrivingCars #FuneralProcessions #EdgeCases #Rivian #Lucid #Waymo #Tesla #AVSafety #MobilityTech #PerceptionSystems #RightOfWay #ConvoyDriving #PublicTrust #Regulation #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
