I’ve had my entire career working within industrial automation and I see the value AI and automated efforts being to the world.
I do not see the value in allowing private companies to playtest autonomous driving with human life as a potential collateral.
The argument keeps getting made — “how many humans make that same mistake daily?” — and it’s not equivocal; if autonomous vehicles cannot reach a 100% safety and accuracy feature, they should not be allowed to risk human lives.
The difference being that autonomous vehicles could reach 100% safety by removing all non autonomous vehicles from the road and imposing a communication standard between vehicles so they all know what the other vehicles are doing at all times.
That only applies to regions of the world where there's no snow because autonomous driving in a snowstorm will probably never be solved.
"autonomous vehicle" in the article can't handle most basic shit like emergency vehicle approaching. I've spent enough years in automotive engineering and all of this autonomous drive bullshit is ADAS with a few gimmicks and shouldn't be nowhere near full control of the car, however this got out of hand and this shit is on public roads somehow.
