"too good" -> "completely correctly like 80 - 90%". I'm unable to make the two sentences make sense in the same statement, since 85% looks extremely low to be considered too good, given that the outcome is to crash if you do not pay attention in the 15%.
- YetAnotherNick 9y agoSome people do it. Think of it as 0-100 scale, 0 useless, 100 making no mistake ever, and not as some percent of correct action.
- antirez 9y agoIMHO this is kinda of a mental trick. How good it is an hammer that allows you to place a nail 90% of times? Percentage of failures is not usefulness, or a value of perfection, like: I'm 80% handsome, that is a lot handsome. Something that has 20% of failures rate instead is terrible.
- ChuckMcM 9y agoI expect it is the nature of the problem. Autopilot fails when the road conditions are such that it cannot function correctly. Imagine that you drive your commute from point A to point B and use autopilot all the time and it has never failed you. Then you use it when driving from point A to point C and because there are road conditions on that route that it cannot handle it tries to drive you into a ditch. Your experience may be giving you more confidence in its ability than it deserves. This is made worse when it has worked fine from point A to point B until one day a painter had a bad day and one of the cans of paint they forgot to secure fell off the back of their truck and put a big diagonal splash on the lane. And on that day your autopilot drives you into the car next to you.
