I'm not sure what in my post gave you the impression that I'm demanding perfection, but it's incorrect. My interpretation of the GP's point is that we know these kinds of perception models have very real failure cases in the presence of noise and adversarial images in the environment, among other possible operating conditions. They're asking what safeguards exist to mitigate the risk of a system failure, which is something other SDC companies have put enormous amounts of work into.
It's a perfectly fair question and the general expectation of things we have as a society is that things generally shouldn't fail catastrophically at random. In a plane, that's achieved to socially acceptable levels by an incredible amount of systems engineering, redundancy, aerodynamics, and ultimately well trained pilots & ATC. With food it's achieved by government oversight, standards, and the general principle that most things won't harm you. With ships, we simply have them avoid icebergs.
What isn't a good answer is just handwaving about measuring model performance. That's the smallest of the many prerequisites to safety here.
