Organisms tuned by years of evolution can fail when confronted by novel environments. Think of a bee that wanders indoors and keeps hitting itself on a window pane trying to escape. A moth attracted to a light bulb. A cat chasing a laser pointer. Deer paralyzed by headlights.
- jonplackett 5y agoYes indeed - but luckily driving is a fairly narrow task by human standards. An AI trained specifically do this should be more like an animal's well known behaviours. If driverless cars were crashing because all of a sudden a giant sheet of glass appeared in the middle of the road, or a giant alien death ray shot up the tarmac, I think most people would have some sympathy.
