This is not a valid comparison, though. Rather, consider the extrapolation: "drive for 20 hours or let a computer drive for 20 hours?". (edit: the extrapolation is intended to highlight the absurdity of the premise.) The correct answer is to mitigate the risk with breaks or safer alternative transport such as a hired driver. It's not a closed system with only two possible solutions.
If the solution is not tenable, the plan should be aborted. Not rammed through via abuse of technology.
- smaryjerry 4y agoI didn’t say it was a closed system. I’m just saying one might be better than the other, I don’t know how you do that other than compare the possibilities. If everyone had a private driver then yea that options is also better but we live in a human world not a perfect world.
- ycombobreaker 4y agoYou implied that the only solution to an unsafe decision was a similarly unsafe decision. My argument is that the real solution would involve some other compromise. If this specific scenario was a work commute, for instance: - move closer to work - secure lodging to amortize the commute over more days - arrange a carpool - work remotely to reduce the cost of any of the above options - find a different job.
