You jest but this is what humans and animals do instinctively. When you fall, you try to fall in a way that minimizes damage.
For example, if you trip over something and your hands are occupied so you can't use them to catch yourself, you will instinctively try to roll onto your shoulder instead of faceplanting into the ground.
You see this in freestyle motorcycle and mountain bike riding, and skateboarding etc as well. If you see you aren't going to land the trick, you try to throw the bike or skateboard away from you and land feet first down the ramp. Plenty of videos of pros doing this on youtube.
- kube-system 5y agoThe way pros fall is definitely more than just instinct, though. The human instinct to fully extend an arm when falling is a much worse way to fall than tuck-and-roll, etc.
- Swizec 5y agoFair. I probably spent enough of my youth on mountain bikes and rollerblades to develop those instincts. An AI driver should have those instincts too imo. I’d expect my car to crash in the safest possible way if it can’t not crash.
