$10000 per mile is still a huge cost. If human is able to do it then AI should be able to do it. The cost should be no more than reprinting blurred out lanes.

If a car can work if the roads are well marked, run it can work in many different countries too. That's a huge boon for car makers.
- jessriedel 10y agoWhether AI can replicate all human abilities is an empirical question, not a matter of "should". And it's clear it can't currently. Given that 30k people per year die of preventable traffic accidents, we obviously shouldn't wait to deploy AI until it is perfect. Adding magnets to all 160,000 miles of the US highway system would be a one-time cost of roughly $10B, which is small in comparison to the hundred of billion we lose every year that autonomous cars are delay. Additionally, humans do fail to keep track of lane lines in bad weather, and this result in accidents that could be prevented if magnet-directed computers were driving the car.
