Tesla's algorithm is "try to slow down, but nevertheless plow into stuff if that doesn't work". It is demonstrably worse than the human algorithm of "slow down, but also steer to avoid obstacles". I can't see how you can objectively say they're equally good.
- JoeAltmaier 8y agoDo we want a car deciding whether to leave the lane? Leave the road? It could do more harm than good. We'll have to decide this, soon. By law hopefully - some standards for auto-drive and what it's allowed to do. Because if we don't, software will have to code up the 'trolly car problem' solution, starting now. Hit the school bus ahead? or the guy walking beside the road? or the brick wall (and kill its passenger)? There's no good (universally defendable) solution.
