  I've certainly come to that conclusion, although one person is not a trend. I'm in the minority among the people I talk to. I think more people see them achieving something that looked impossible, so something even more impossible doesn't seem like an obstacle.

  People who browse threads in places where actual engineers working on this stuff post their thoughts vs. People who get all their information about self-driving cars from "journalists" The former group will pretty much unanimously tell you we are at least 10 years from a full solution, if it's even possible. Most of the latter group seem to think it's already here.

    "Solving general intelligence" isn't comparable to a 10-years deadline at all. But still, which of the few companies that work on this has their engineers expressing that 10-years figure? I can also say that I know stuff from good expert sources without mentioning any specific.

      I was more referring to the "last 10% of full autonomy" for self-driving cars than the solving general intelligence bit (despite the fact that GP was sort of equating the two). Guessing if/when we'll solve general intelligence is a fool's game. > "Solving general intelligence" isn't comparable to a 10-years deadline at all As I just mentioned, I don't think it's wise to put any kind of timeline on that particular milestone. > which of the few companies that work on this has their engineers expressing that 10-years figure? Well I didn't exactly go around asking every commenter who they worked for, but my gut-level statistician tells me it's been over 90% of the people on various relevant forums (including here) who seem like they know what they're talking about. All I know is that if it was as easy as a lot of folks were projecting 5 years ago, it would already be here.
