Waymo releases dashcam footage of Arizona Crash

  What's crazy is that with enough learning from being trained by these freak scenarios, we'll eventually be seeing reactions that actually turn an unavoidable collision for a human into a near miss for the ai.

    This collision was avoidable with good and attentive driver. Notice dangerous situation on opposite lane @2 seconds into the video and starts paying careful attention, @4 seconds its obvious whats going to happen, slam the brakes/speed up/change to right lane. From watching enough dashcams on YT you could probably estimate 1/100 of similar situations ends in lucky dodge. AI has a chance of turning that ratio closer to 90/100.

    I think Waymo has explicitly said it does not use learning to control the vehicle and that the learning is limited to building a model of the world around it. I'm of two Mondays about this crash, on one hand, I would like it to be able to avoid crashes where it can, but I would also like it to not create multi-car pile ups by swerving to try and avoid a crash.
