Three things remain true about AI driving: 1) Artificial Intelligence has a LOOONG way to go to catch up with natural stupidity - even really stupid people are better drivers in the corner cases than most AIs. 2) The first 98-99% or so of AI driving is difficult, but fairly straightforward. The remaining 1-2% is both incredibly difficult, and worse, we have no idea how to do it. 3) Better technology and compute power will NOT solve this problem. I can point you to thousands of articles (both scholarly and popular) from the 1960s saying that we would have real AIs (intelligent machines) just as soon as we had faster computers and better tech. Well we have both: Not only that, but compute power has grown at rates that no one expected: a $75 Raspberry Pi 4 has more memory, more compute power, and more storage than a Cray supercomputer had in the early 1990s, and our new AI/ML GPU/NPU chips are many orders of magnitude faster than that. We have effectively infinite compute power - and yet the problem persists. We not only don't have Rosie the Robot - we don't even have robot floor cleaners that can avoid literally spreading unexpected sh*t all over the house...
