If a self driving car is only as good as the average driver then by definition 50% of people are a better. How is that a fallacy?
It also could be considerably higher depending on the skew of the distribution. Depending how much bad drivers lower the average.
- newacct583 6y agoThat's not a fallacy, but it doesn't seem like an interesting point. Your comment above seemed deeper. Apologies if that's all you meant.
- anfilt 6y agoLike from that point alone your asking a large portion of people to trust something less capable than them-selves. We should be aiming for the higher/upper percentiles not the average. Especially, considering how fast a digital control system can operate, average is a horribly low bar. -Edit- If throw in the effect that a lot people over estimate their abilities your going to get even fewer people who trust a self driving car that is only as good as average.
