>Or, even simpler, India wont get self-driving cars -- the same way countries in the developing world don't get lots of modern services and/or conveniences until they have the infrastructure for them.
Precisely my point. But one has to note that the TATA group is going to start testing self driving cars in india.
- nocoder 10y agoNot necessarily. Sometimes lack of infrastructure fast forwards the technology to next iteration instead of holding it back. For example in India, majority of people's first phone was a mobile phone & they never had landlines & first experience of internet was via mobile phones instead of dial-up or fixed line. Now with a company called Jio providing free 4G internet lot of people are directly going to experience 4G from 2G without transitioning to 3G since the cost is going down. Similar shift might happen in payments with models like UPI (unified-payment-interface) where many people will do digital/cashless payments without ever doing netbanking or owning credit cards. I expect a truly intelligent AI to navigate around such issues in fact, such issues will provide playing field to create robust AI since it will learn to handle & respond to unpredictability.
- thewhitetulip 10y agoI agree with the point of robust AI, also with the point of mobile phones without landlines, mcommerce before credit card/debit card etc. Let's see how things go. btw I live in India :-)
