Hmm, has there been one single failure of a human driver hitting a child?

Hmm, has there been one single failure of a human driver hitting a child?
- Brian_K_White 4y agoThat is the difference between an accident and murder. If you try your best to adhere to all best practices, and still a bad thing happens, that is an entirely 100% different thing from the bad thing that happens when you voluntarily, deliberately, knowingly, do something wrong or unnecessary, and then a bad thing happens.
- imgabe 4y agoSo the AI driver knowingly, deliberately decides to murder children?

- imgabe 4y agoI’m not the one hallucinating that AI acts with deliberate malicious intent. Maybe you should get that checked out.
- Brian_K_White 4y agoI didn't say or even imply any ai had any intent. We're talking about whoever wants to stick a kid in front of a car, not the car. Holy cow.
- imgabe 4y agoThat's not what I was talking about. I was responding to the person who implied that self-driving cars need to be completely error-free, which is an unattainable standard, and far beyond what human drivers are capable of. There will still be traffic accidents with self-driving cars, but hopefully far fewer. Holding them to an unrealistic standard of 0 errors would needlessly kill thousands of people. It's pretty clear that nobody was ever going to put a kid in front of their Tesla, and The Verge and everyone here is being deliberately obtuse to indulge their Tesla/Musk hate.
