> That's not a mistake a healthy human will make. Humans do exceedingly stupid things all the time because they stop paying attention, even momentarily (or subconsciously). We put big lights on the back of cars that light up when they brake. And yet, despite a driver looking direct at a huge object with two lights, that rapidly grows larger right in front of them, does not always prevent a collision. Or even a chain of collisions. I don't get on the road much, and yet even I've seen a ton of accidents that are baffling and can only have been the result of a driver not paying attention for a bit. I'm reminded of how in quite a few places removing signs and lights actually improved safety because it forced drivers to stay aware instead of 'driving on autopilot', so to speak. I think that's the real issue here. The more we outsource our attention to a machine, the more important it is that said machine does MUCH better than we humans do. Especially if a mistake can be deadly. But I wouldn't be surprised if, indeed, technically this accident could've happened just as easily by a non-autopilot car where the driver had a little 'micro-sleep', got distracted by something in his field of view, mistakenly thought he was on a lane and didn't notice the (let's be fair) ridiculously bad markers that were the only way to tell that part of the 'gray' stuff in front of him was in fact a wall of concrete. I mean, just look at the image: https://imgur.com/a/iMY1x https://imgur.com/a/iMY1x . Half of what makes the barrier stand out is the shadow! All that said I might sound more argumentative than I am. I do agree with most of your comment.
