So with autonomous cars the vehicle gets the majority of its information through systems like lidar and radar, I’m right so far, right?
What’s the plan to deal with interference from other autonomous vehicles? I’m sure they’ll vary the wavelengths and or amplitudes of each car as much as possible, but if you’re in a area with lots of cars you’re bound to run by a car on the same freq/amp as you are. Not to mention I’m sure AVs (can we make that the new abbreviation for autonomous vehicles?) will only be given a fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum by the gov’t.
Not to mention a radar’s advertised range is only how far away the radar is consistently accurate, basically antenna/receiver limited not by the waves themselves. So the radiation these things will be giving off will be going out vary far increasing the risk of interference with other AVs.
Is this a problem that’s already been solved in other applications that can be used for AVs or is this something a lot of people are overlooking about AVs?
Also if the topic of AVs got you a little bummed about the future here’s a picture of a Tesla roadster to make you feel better :)

Weird... I see a lot of Stingray from that angle. And a little Viper, too.

Well, if you really want to, we can get into radar 301, and start talking about phase encoding, pulse compression, spread spectrum hopping, linear chirps....
Essentially, there are a great many ways to make radars adapt to interference (in my world, this is called EP, or electronic protection, and the “interference” would be EA, or electronic attack, AKA jamming) that make radar systems effective even in congested environments.
Also, AVs use a lot of cameras...

Cameras are also being/will be used as conjunction with neuromorphic recognition of vehicles and pedestrians and such.
That’s a little while off, but a true AV will definitely be more than just LIDAR and such.

Without going into a lot technical jargon, to prevent confusion, each radar/lidar pulse can be uniquely coded to the devices. In other words, the pulse isn’t just a generic signal. It’s like yelling “iTastedtheRanibow” in a canyon to hear the echo. You know it isn’t someone else yelling back at you because the frequency matches your voice and the returning sound is what you yelled, not some other name.
