All the current evidence is that humans grossly outperform computers at the task of "driving vehicles to arbitrary locations in all conditions", and that that isn't changing any time soon. Like, it isn't close.

You can talk about your speculative perfect-performance car if you like, but there's no evidence that it will ever exist. Why not give it hyperdrive too?
- beat 8y agoI'm not talking about perfect performance. I'm talking about "superior to humans in the general case* performance. And there is plenty of evidence that it will exist, starting with the huge number of things that humans used to do that are now done by computers, faster and more accurately. Driving vehicles to all locations in all conditions? Yeah, humans will have advantages there for a long time to come. Driving on highways and city streets within the bounds of traffic laws and expected velocities? I think computers will be better than humans very soon, if they aren't already so.
