Most of the unexpected do not - human drivers handle it on reflex - but there is enough that does.
The manually directed traffic example would require some sort of workaround for instance - map update or protocol to tell it to the car. Human drivers utilise informal protocols in such situations including blinking signals, voice communication and formal ones like policeman signals.
None of which actually requires AGI to handle, and actually educated guesswork to figure out. Think of it as a human driver in another country - they have to learn the behavior from the observed subset to not stick out, but it's not actually too hard or involving. It's not AGI, but it is sparse dictionary learning (bounded set of allowed behaviors) which is hard anyway. And a bunch of high grade logical inputs as context.
Figuring out outdated map such as not driving into a lake, damaged or unfinished road can be done without AGI reasonably well, as can predicting potential accidents and dangers and pre-planning responses.
Fun part would be the car asking for directions with voice synthesis then trying to execute them. I want to see that working in practice, still not AGI really. It'd be really freaky the first few times it happens, especially if it's driverless.
Mind you, human drivers tend to do stupid and unlawful things because they're intelligent too.
- taneq 7y ago> human drivers handle it on reflex I'm not sure we can write off human subconscious behaviour as "not general intelligence". It might not be the conscious, self-analytical reasoning that we tend to think of as 'intelligence' but there's a whole bunch of things that humans 'just know how to do' after practice without being able to explain how we do it. > Figuring out outdated map such as not driving into a lake, damaged or unfinished road can be done without AGI reasonably well Yeah, I think a lot of that could be solved by having a hierarchy of different classifiers (maybe they do this already?) so instead of trying to identify every individual object in the world, you can just detect "something large in front of me" and hit the brakes. You don't have to care particuarly what it is, you just have to not hit the thing.
- AstralStorm 7y agoReflexes are indeed trained, but they're not what is defined as general intelligence. They trigger in specific cases, both low reflexes and high ones. Now if you required the car to gain new reflexes on its own then it's an entirely different thing and yes, that is probably a big chunk of AGI. Essentially that means the car would have to write its own control logic in an essentially unlimited way, yet do so safely. That is not exactly necessary for safe travel.
