It has be better than the best human driver or they'll get sued out of existance. You can't sell a product that you know will hurt or kill a certain number of people.
- deadbunny 10y agoI'm pretty sure the car industry has been doing that for years.
- woofyman 10y agoThey get sued if they knowingly sell a defective product.
- ageofwant 10y agoSorry no. Cars kill thousands of people every year, and will continue to do so. Car companies are doing just fine. Power companies literally kill millions every year, a-ok. McDonalds, Coca Cola ? ditto.
- woofyman 10y agoDrivers kill, not the cars. That's totally different from an autonomous car killing someone. Humans make mistakes. That's different from a defective product.
- bhntr3 10y agoWhat happened to worst case analysis? Don't we all know the flaws of best case? I think (and I could be wrong) that there are many more cases where conservative driving is safer than aggressive driving. In a lot of the cases mentioned, doing nothing or stopping are the safest choices. What's safe to drive over? Just assume everything is unsafe and only drive over it if it puts others in danger to avoid it. If the road is blocked and you need to communicate to navigate, don't. Wait. If the road conditions are changed due to construction in ways the car can't understand, stop. Find a new route. Most humans wouldn't do these things. The nice thing about the autonomous car is that it can drive extremely cautiously.
