>I don't think self-driving cars are realistic at all
They said the same thing about a Computer beating a Human at Chess or Go, or Radiology, or countless other examples. I don't see why a random person on hackernews would be any more correct than any of the previous naysayers.

- golemiprague 6y agoBecause Chess is a closed limited system with strict rules which you can easily emulate and with enough brute power might even be able to calculate all possible cases. Go probably less but still a closed system with strict rules. Those we can usually solve as technology improves. Driving is an open endless system with no rules since people and nature might do any action at any time. That's why it is in a different level of difficulty. The next level is to give a machine some emotions. Improving within the same level of difficulty is foreseeable, jumping to the next level is matter of faith, you need to believe a breakthrough will come, but it might not, ever.
