Yes. If we opened a poll that had two options:
The rule is fine.
Something needs to be done to the rule.
64% of us would say that something needs to be done to the rule. And, as I said before, I would be interested as to the percentage of the people that say that the rule is fine that are drivers.
Just imagine going an entire day of shopping and errands, etc. without shifting into the reverse gear,
once.
Not impossible (as a tractor-trailer driver might say), but not an easy (and dare I say reasonable *ducks-and-covers*) request. I suppose that it is unreasonable, as I support the rule being changed.
By modifying the rule to allow bots to break the plane, but not completely cross the line, would be the equivalent (in my mind) of allowing you to back out of your space at the parking lot at the mall. Could you have found a way to park so you wouldn't have to back up? Yes. Would it have been a real pain, and consume a lot of your
TIME? Yes. Your car has the ability to back up to avoid obstacles. So do our robots.
