QIS for Autonomous Vehicles: Why Self-Driving Safety Scales Quadratically, Not Linearly

QIS (Quadratic Intelligence Swarm) is a decentralized architecture that grows intelligence quadratically as agents increase, while each agent pays only logarithmic compute cost. Raw data never leaves the node. Only validated outcome packets route. Understanding QIS - Part 34 The Miles Problem On March 18, 2018, an Uber Advanced Technologies Group vehicle operating in autonomous mode struck and fatally injured a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona. The vehicle's perception system detected the pedestrian 5.6 seconds before impact.
