>Why do you assume that drivers have to learn from each other's mistakes? Because that's what computers do: we can program them to avoid a mistake once we know about it, and then ALL cars will never make that mistake again. The same isn't true with humans: they keep making the same stupid mistakes. >A drunk driver learning from his own mistakes is already significantly ahead of what a self driving car does which potentially just repeats the same mistake over and over again Why do you think this? You're assuming the car's software will never be updated, which is completely nonsensical. >10 self driving cars all doing the same mistake at the same time will cause even more damage than just a single one. Only in the short term. As soon as they're updated to avoid that mistake, it never happens again. Hum
