I agree, and there has already been one fatality from when a Tesla system failed to classify a lorry that was in the way. What we have is really a great advancement of mimicking the sensory organs (eyes, ears), but we still haven't figured out the thinking component. 'Seeing' is more than just classifying pixels, it's also about understanding the visual relationships between objects and being able to act on that data. How this fits into our current view of neural networks I've no idea, and worry that self driving engineers just fill this part in with lots of 'if .. else if ...' statements, which of course really isn't the same as actual thinking.
