Humans also fail at those things and we get accidents. We do not need perfect cars that deal with every conceivable situation in the best way possible. We only need them to deal about as good as your average human driver. Yes, self-driving software will be much dumber than a human, but it has the advantage of constant attention, lower reaction times and the ability to access more data. Perhaps their failure modes will be different due to that, but as long as the accident rate and severity is comparable that's good enough. You also need to factor in the value and lifetime-hours gained by freeing up human drivers from the task. > nothing short of AGI will get us close to the current below-average human driver. If people try to climb icy 20% inclines with summer tires every winter is that the result of general intelligence or just zombie mode driving? The correct choice for an autonomous car in that situation would be to refuse or look for alternatives instead of doing the dumb thing.
