Self-driving cars are much much better, but they are not "intelligent" in any sense of that word
- solipsism 5y agoFor your personal, idiosyncratic definition of "intelligent".
- fungiblecog 5y agoIn the sense that an intelligent thing can react sensibly to situations outside of those explicitly known about in advance
- rcxdude 5y agoWaymo has some excellent examples of their car reacting to strange unforseen situations appropriately. You're going to need to be more specific.
- Scarblac 5y ago"Intelligence" is anything that humans can do but we don't know how to make computers do. Once computers can do it, it's "mere computation".
- vagrantJin 5y agoI doubt we'd call locomotion and reaction to sensory feedback intelligent. Even single cell organisms are well and truly capable of that.

- dtech 5y agoWhat self-driving cars do is closer to something an animal like a deer does, not something a bacterium does. And you'd generally say a deer uses some intelligence while moving.
- vagrantJin 5y agoDeer? Ey, you've just jumped several orders of magnitude of multicellular complexity. Earthworm intelligence at best.
- Scarblac 5y agoSo can single cell organisms drive cars? Because otherwise I don't see your point.
- vagrantJin 5y agoTo answer your question. No. Single cells organisms can't drive cars. A multicellular organism can. We are talking about self driving AI as a system - inputs and outputs and it's relative complexity. I mapped that system complexity to single cell motility.
