I'm still waiting to know when one of their cars severely injures or kills someone on the side of the road, cycling or running, etc. if the person who wrote the bad code goes to prison, the supervisor who failed to audit it, or the person who made the sensor or the person who pushed the button to activate the feature.
- poundofshrimp 6y agoIf Tesla has a 1/2 rate of accidents compared to human drivers, should people still go to prison? What if it’s 1/4, 1/8, etc? I think a small enough rate of mistakes by Tesla el al, is not a huge problem, considering the technology is promising to substantially cut the fatality rates.
- ck2 6y agoLet me know how you feel about that when it's not some stranger you read about in the news but a personal friend or family member. My question is about liability, if a person is drunk or high and they drive over someone, they go to prison. If a person is sleeping in a tesla and runs someone over because they think it's magic and will drive for them, who is responsible and will do time? Your reply is that it's all good because the tesla only killed half the number of people, so your friend or family member who got killed is just a freebie.
- poundofshrimp 6y agoIf the technology saves lives in a measurable way, then it should be used IMO. And yes, if my family member has 1/2 lower chance of dying in a car accident, I'll take it any day (I don't care if that lower chance comes from using AI or not). If you are able to link actions of an individual to an injury in a jury-proof way, then sure I agree it should be done. It's likely not possible in most cases.
