  A case in point about human perception: while you read jbob2000’s comment that way, I read that same comment as nothing more than a counter to the idea that humans were somehow invulnerable to errors. This seems a bit strange, given the main argument in favour of replacing human drivers with AI is that it should be possible to make one that works as well as the best human driver, only without getting tired, high, or distracted, and with reaction times measured in microseconds instead of hundreds of milliseconds. We’re not there yet. I don’t know how far we are from that future.
