Alexa can’t even turn the lights on 50% of the time I ask it to. If we can’t even get something “simple” like voice recognition working right... sorry to say but the dream of fully automated, self-optimizing cars driving on futuristic intelligent roadways ain’t gonna happen for a long while.
Self driving cars are orders of magnitude harder than me asking a computer to turn the lights on.
- icebraining 8y agoHonestly asking: why is self-driving orders of magnitude harder than voice recognition?
- rspeer 8y agoThe input is much more complex. Also, if you recognize a word wrong, nobody dies.
- DrScump 8y agoMost of driving difficulty boils down to proper handling of all the edge cases, including hundreds of opportunities for human error. An error in voice recognition means you get shipped dowels instead of trowels. An error in automated driving can mean a dead family.
