It's not of unbounded complexity, though.
That doesn't imply it's not complex, it is very complex, but it's way, way off being a problem whose solution maps to any other problem, i.e. only solvable by general AI.
Remember also, the goal is not dealing perfectly with every possible situation. The goal (at first) is dealing slightly better with the average predictable situation than the average human driver.
- sverige 7y ago> The goal (at first) is dealing slightly better with the average predictable situation than the average human driver. The average human driver is terrible at driving. The goal should be higher; i.e., to be slightly better than the top 10% of human drivers. One of those skills will be refusing to drive when the weather is too bad.
- davnicwil 7y agoI totally agree, just the absolute minimum and the initial goal is matching or slightly surpassing that level. Once that happens I guess you'd expect it to get much better pretty quickly as well, which is good.
- the8472 7y agoOn the other hand we do let the worst human drivers (that don't immediately kill someone in the first hour of driving) onto roads too. The same low bar should be applied to autonomous cars as they are still scaling up. The bar should be raised as their percentage of the overall fleet increases. This treats them as a collective of junior drivers that we expect to improve with time.
