We already have noise cancellation, good tiny batteries, fast wireless internet, and all the tech to learn spoken languages without supervision!
Autonomous driving has a much higher bar for accuracy.
- croes 5y agoAre you sure? A translation error played part in the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. https://pangeanic.com/knowledge/the-worst-translation-mistake-in-history/ https://pangeanic.com/knowledge/the-worst-translation-mistak... Language has great ambiguity, depends heavily on time period, context and tone. https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/2chfge/you_need_some_solid_dick_from_iron_man_captain/ https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/2chfge/you_need_some... That could lead to problems even without translation.
- DennisP 5y agoSo maybe don't use the tech yet in such high-stakes situations. In my personal life, an automated translation error is very unlikely to cause a serious problem, while an automated driving error could kill me. (Fwiw, if you read the comments at your second link, you'll find the image is a fake.)
- croes 5y agoSame for autonmous driving. Don't use it on the highway but in the city. Lower speed, lower risk of dying. Fake or not, doesn't make my point invalid.
