> I find people’s response to autopilot failures to be really interesting. Autopilot is different than a human and is going to make different kinds of mistakes than a human, those mistakes are going to be frustrating and look “obvious” to humans.
> On the flip side every day humans make mistakes that autopilot would avoid and would be “obvious” to an AP system.
> Should we judge the computers vs perfection? Judge them like we judge humans? If a system came out that could be retrofit on every car in the country and make 1% fewer mistakes than humans, but the mistakes it makes are “obvious” and stupid, is it an improvement? Would we accept it? What about 10% or 50%?
When we can meaningfully charge a computer with a crime (or better, the developer of the software that caused the crash!), maybe then will public sentiment be aligned with the reality you envision.
