> It frustrates me that this level of negligence could set self driving tech, something that will save countless lives, back. This was the Chernobyl moment for self driving tech. It's safer than alternatives, but now this is all people are associating it with.
If it can not be done securely at scale, it better be set back, especially on public roads.
I am deeply skeptical of how safe and realistic self-driving vehicles are. Even with such less amount of cars dubbed autonomous on the roads, we've seen up until now a great multitude of fatal accidents or near misses already.
This putting internet and AI in everything reminds me of a recent Vsauce video I saw which shows radium chocolate bars and underwear: a new fascinating thing that in future will probably prove more harmful than it is useful, because of how we overestimate it's practical utility.
