The Rules
Posts must be:

Please also avoid duplicates.

Autonomous avoidance seems like a good idea...
In theory, sure.
In practice, a large number of autonomous vehicles traveling at high speeds might not be able to keep clear of one another consistently.
They should try coding and algorithms.
That reminds me of something my flight instructor told me as a teenager. If you lose your engine at night, aim for a dark patch, because lights mean structures. Set up for an emergency landing as you usually would, and as you get down to short final altitude, turn your landing light on. If you don't like what you see, turn it back off.
Classic!
Yeah I think I heard something along those lines. It's important to always have a contingency plan!
