I know a little bit about AI and the things it needs to drive, and i know horses well. There is no comparison, a horse is much smarter then any AI i seen [0].

I know a little bit about AI and the things it needs to drive, and i know horses well.
There is no comparison, a horse is much smarter then any AI i seen [0].
Look at the traffic closely and observe all the edge cases and all the details that an AI couldn't handle properly. Like potholes, paint, animals and people coming from beyond cars parked on the street, works on the road, a dust cloud, a gravel road with big puddles, and idk what else. On top of that the thing is that going over 40kmh is not driving, it's ballistics.
So far i have seen that a car can be driven by an AI from A to B in good conditions, but i have not seen it drive in more difficult conditions (some are common in my city).

- edblarney 10y agoI suggest in many ways you are right. BUT - cars will eventually be better than horses. Why? Because they have a) the tech is very specifically geared to do things related to driving and driving only b) it's not inclined to 'emotions' or 'spooking' and finally c) it has tech the horse cannot have - it will be able to see further out, communicate with other cars 'real time', it will be able to make crazy probabilistic calculations in real-time with respect to 'what best to do in a negative scenario'. I think it will take a long, long time to get through those corner cases, and probably a few disasters between now and then, but in 20 years maybe it will be crazy safe.
