Instructional design - explaining traffic signs
I spent seven years of my career in the self-driving industry. What did I learn?
I learned that teaching people to teach cars to drive themselves is not easy. Even teaching people how to drive is challenging, and our brains were conditioned over time to understand concepts like visibility, symbology, and angles. I made the images below to teach people how to attribute proper metadata to signs. While I was at the test track observing one of Aurora’s driverless cars, I saw the vehicle observe and react correctly to signs in real time! Pretty awesome!
