> AI is not capable of explaining why it makes a decision that it does. So, yes this is true, but also not the full story. At this point we don't have neural networks that are also capable of explaining their reasoning, but what we CAN do is do a lot of introspection with that network. There is an entire field called AI Explainability that seeks to probe the network in various ways to help humans understand what is happening. Remember that you have total control over the network, and you can run inference thousands of times, or run pieces of the network, or feed test data in to the network. I am a casual observer of the field but I see this "AI can't explain itself" thing thrown around a lot by people who don't know about the extensive research being done in explainability. Also Tesla has a massive testing infrastructure that checks their network for regressions. So they will know if it suddenly starts failing in some area before they release it. Obviously this is new and complex tech so it is not perfect. But I think self driving is important for their business, and they are probably investing heavily in both batteries and AI. And fully self driving electric taxis could eliminate the need for many people to own an ICE car at all.
