Abstract

The promises of a full automation of individual road traffic are analyzed and it is shown that such complex systems might be highly fragile. For this reason it is questionable that fully automated traffic systems can attain the some degree of safety and efficiency that an optimized human-machine system can provide. Of special importance remains the problem of over-taking e.g. from autopilot to manual control. As framework for such a hybrid system the field-theoretic approach of Gibson & Crooks is suggested
