People also can't drive in all conditions, so it's kind of a trivial statement.
I learned to drive around Ottawa, where freezing rain and white-outs happened occasionally. At some point the wise choice was to put the hazard lights on, pull to the side of the road, and wait for it to be over.
Presumably self-driving cars will also be able to do that. So it's not clear what the difference will be, other than that self-driving cars are likely to be more analytical about the risks of proceeding vs. stopping.
- chubot 8y agoMany people have been trumpeting "superhuman" performance of deep learning on narrow tasks, and extrapolating that to a future where self-driving cars are ubiquitous and saving our lives routinely. That performance is technically true, but unfortunately it doesn't translate to real-world engineering problems like driving cars.
