This idea will never work. Putting aside all other reasons — the liability equation doesn’t make sense. Imagine being a lowly “meat bag” in the call center.

This idea will never work. Putting aside all other reasons — the liability equation doesn’t make sense.
Imagine being a lowly “meat bag” in the call center. You’re presented with an endless stream of situations so difficult that the robot can’t solve. Eventually, you make a mistake, and people die. Checkmate.
- mistercow 8y agoDriving scenarios that are difficult for both humans and AI are rare. It's not that these are situations "so difficult that the robot can't solve"; it's that they're edge cases the AI isn't designed for. The vast majority of these situations will be absolutely trivial for a human operator, and only "difficult" for the AI because the designers haven't accounted for this 0.01% case yet.

- dogruck 8y agoSeems different than 9-1-1 operators, who are responsible for passing information to first responders. These autonomous car operators would make decisions such as “go ahead and ignore the construction cones.” They won’t simply say, “okay, I’ll send a police crew out to the intersection to triage the confusing construction cones.”
