And what if it gets stuck in a local maximum and never improves? Then you lost those extra lives for no reason, which consequently is what I believe has happened. At least 4 people are dead in preventable autopilot crashes, and the real number is probably over 10. For the number of Tesla’s on the road that number is way too high.

- jazzyjackson 5y agoI just don’t understand why people think a robot can improve on this. If you want to save lives, lower speed limits, build out public transit, and don’t hand out drivers licenses like candy.
- colinmhayes 5y agoI don't only want to save lives, I want to maximize utility. I think driving less would raise utility, but society disagrees, so this is the next best option.
- jazzyjackson 5y agoRight, fair point, people drive 80mph because they have someplace to be. I’m perennially bummed that America can’t figure out how to build high speed rail for less than $100 Million per mile.
- foepys 5y agoI somehow get the feeling that you don't actually want to save lives but rather want to experience the future™, whatever it costs.
