I'm seeing type of phrasing occur more and more. Once the defendant can be named in a legal action, we'll start seeing SDVs. IMHO, the worry isn't that they will kill, but that no one is to blame.
Although it will change the day to day narrative of a pedestrian. E.g., My thought process will change from this person might not see me, to, that car's AI might not see me. ... or even "Oh, its a Toyota, they kill more than Hyundai... stand back!" But now I'm just writing SciFi.

Normally whenever I want to cross the street (as a pedestrian, but even more as a cyclist) and a car approaches I (unconsciously) examine its speed, and if it's higher than acceptable I try to make eye contact with the driver to make sure they see me and it's safe for me to go. How do I make contact with the AI of the car? More importantly, how do I get the cue I've been noticed?
- SoSoRoCoCo 6y ago> I try to make eye contact That's a really good point. I forget how often when I'm walking, running, or biking I will try to make eye contact with a car to make sure we're aware of each other. Now how do I do that with an AI? More things we need to start thinking about!
- tintor 6y agoThat can be solved. Standardized "I see you and I am yielding" signal on front of all self-driving cars.
- kaba0 6y agoThere is a person in front of me, and the signal is on. Does it see me or only that other person?
