Until that number is 100, a car without controls will fail catastrophically at some point and can't be fully autonomous, or will need some huge disclaimers. It's an extreme long-tail problem.
- csours 11y agoI agree there will be a lot of failures in self driving cars, especially in the short term - but these should be in the nature of graceful degradation. In the long term, 4 or 5 nines will probably better than most drivers.

- serge2k 11y agoWhich is safe, but still a massive failure.
- csours 11y agoI think he is referring to incorrect map data, which would be much more dangerous than missing map data. Leaving aside malicious map data for now, high-speed roadways would tend to be well mapped, and low speed roadways should be discoverable in real time. What could be very dangerous is bad map data in addition to a construction zone or road washout. I do think that places like construction zones will be the first to have V2I (vehicle to infrastructure) installed - to be extra sure that vehicles are aware of unusual conditions.
