It's totally fine to have lines you won't cross, but as you say literally none of this is going to happen. Autonomous vehicles aren't on rails and error-free isn't a thing.
I'm also not sure how a fully open source stack would help to alleviate your safety concerns. Current vehicle stacks are impossible for a single individual to meaningfully review, however motivated. These are incredibly complicated distributed systems with dozens of processors running multiple operating systems and frameworks on top of those before you even get to application code. The safety requirements alone consume thousands of pages.
- ok_dad 4y agoCurrently the vehicle may fail but generally my brain won’t, except in certain cases. I’m fine with that, not with my car driving into a barrier it thought was a road. I probably won’t make that mistake.
- ok_dad 4y agoI also cannot know what’s in my computer’s Linux kernel but I feel better knowing everyone else can, and some of them can find bugs and fix them fairly easily. With closed source stuff, only the software developers at the company can see the code, which limits the eyeballs on it.
