Is it impossible for a human to get a car permanently stuck? *edit: put another way, is it possible for a human driver to extricate a car from any situation?

- snowwrestler 11y agoWell the parent refers only to certain situations--those in which the robocar gets vexed and chooses to slow down or stop. I would expect humans to be able to resolve those types of situations, since we rarely find humans sitting in perfectly working cars on the side of the road just because they are vexed.
- bloaf 11y agoAh, I see that you are referring to a scenario in which the vexation and stopping are not both products of some external stimulus (e.g. [1]) or malfunction but something else altogether. For example, parents who pull their perfectly working car to the side of the road to discipline their vexatious children. It certainly seems possible that a self-driving car might occasionally get itself into a situation requiring a reboot, but that seems like an awfully low price to pay for the convenience of autonomous driving.
