A while back a friend of mine rushed through the city, always a bit above speed limit and going to limits what is legal driving behavior and what is not (I sat next to him). He drives very safely and we made it on time for our meeting even though the city streets were quite busy.
Afterwards I thought: a self-driving car would have never done that because its tolerance level and its non-existing "judgement" of a situation would not have allowed for.
- jacquesm 7y agoAnd that would actually be one of those cases where a self driving car would be an improvement over human drivers who feel they are able to 'bend the rules' to satisfy their personal needs instead of simply leaving on time.
- baxtr 7y agoI don't know, depending on your definition of improvement, yes. But would you want to live in a world where humans are bound to rules 100%? Where "bending the rules" to the smallest extent is punished?
- lazylizard 7y agoYes. I'd like ppl who increase their chance of killing me 10 fold because they were late for a meeting to be prevented from doing so.
