I think he's arguing for virtual rather than real world testing to verify extremely low probability behavior. At $0.55 a mile, it can be hard to test out to five standard deviations, but if the question is, does the software correctly handle these events, it is really just a test script.
- cornellwright 10y agoThat's fine and that is already an acceptable method so long as you can make the case for why it's representative and do some real world testing to validate it.

It would make for a nice game and driver training tool too. Verify against average and expert drivers to set grading. Additionally get statistics about prevalence of bad driving, which will allow you to check if the driverless system is safe enough using plain old cost-benefit. Moreover, include assisted driving systems (emergency takeover) in the evaluation. No need to require perfection, failing gracefully is also acceptable. For example, in a weird situation, the car could slow down and engage notifications at drivers.
