Well, which one is it now:
Are self-driving computers superior to humans and make less mistakes, or is it OK for a computer to be tricked by something some humans would also not detect?
Btw. I think I can tell if there is a real stop-sign or something on a billboard after some 'huh'-moment and without slamming on the brakes. And humans still go circles around AI regarding plausibility-checking very out-of-the-ordinary events.

- mjburgess 6y agoIt's neither. Self-driving cars aren't superior. There is 1 death in 100 million miles driven on roads; self-driving cars are currently operating around 1 death per million. Personally, I do not expect self-driving cars this century to get anywhere near human safety levels (assuming cities/etc. remain as-is).

- mjburgess 6y agoJust a quick google of my comment yields: https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RR1400/RR1478/RAND_RR1478.pdf https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/... and https://www.vox.com/recode/2019/5/17/18564501/self-driving-car-morals-safety-tesla-waymo https://www.vox.com/recode/2019/5/17/18564501/self-driving-c... I haven't read it all -- my numbers come from another paper, I can't recall. But it's talking in the right ballparks.
