Isn't that similar to saying horseless carriages cannot be as good as horses? Our experience in driving is never compared to the experience of riding in a carriage or even harnessing a horse. Driving is considered a discrete experience in its own class. Perhaps our fears and expectations of mechanical error is ignorant of our own overconfidence in our own driving control. Are we always in control of our attention? Do we always make the most accurate observations as we drive?
Why do we establish the experience of being driven by autopilot as something comparable to the actual action of human, hand-feet-sight-controlled driving (steering wheel-acceleration/deacceleration-dashboard/windshield/mirrors)?
We cannot trust the horse to do the same things as the car nor can we trust the car to do be same as horse.
We are on the cusp of moving responsibility from the human engineered transport (car) to the machine engineered (autopilot) transport, which transfer was previously animal to human engineered transport (horse to car).
We will believe what establishes our worldview and ignore what demolishes the same foundations.
- argonaut 10y agoNo, it's not the same. Not sure why you think that analogy even makes sense.
