And yet we routinely trust other people to drive us around, when we know that they're imperfect.

- dantaylor08 11y agoMaybe you do. I mostly spend every moment in terror when someone else is driving.
- raverbashing 11y agoThis is funny. I feel the same way It doesn't mean they are bad drivers, but not being in control gives you a very different view of the situation I guess since you don't know their "internal state" you don't know how recklessly they are driving actually
- krapp 11y agoHuman drivers are better at judging the behavior of other human drivers than autonomous cars currently seem to be. We can tell when a bus is about to pull out, or not, due to various cues (engine noise, exhaust, the sound of hydraulic brakes, onboarding passengers,signal lights, the presence of traffic behind us, etc,) which the Google car was apparently blind to.
- seanp2k2 11y agoIf you watch closely too you can almost always tell when a car is about to change lanes, even before (if they bother to at all) activate their turn signal or depart their lane. I'd love to see automated cars process stuff like this (small behavioral cues from human drivers)...maybe they already do? I'm guessing that they're not just relying on turn signals to predict intentions :)
- okasaki 11y agoThe Google car apparently had a driver who missed it too.
- krapp 11y agoWould they have missed it if they were driving, or did they trust the Google car more than their own instincts, though?
- donkeyd 11y agoThe driver was also blind to this, according to the article.
