AI is easily our best bet against the true menace, which is distracted drivers.
No, "controlled conditions" don't do a very good job of training or proving an AI. Supervised cars on actual roads is the way it has to be.

What AI promises is a way for governments not to have to take the heat for holding drivers accountable, but hundreds of thousands of people are being killed waiting for it to materialize.
- piva00 4y agoThe best bet against the true menace is to deploy public policies that reduces the true menace: the number of cars/drivers on the streets. That's the most sound policy, provide the public with alternative means of transportation that are convenient and more environment-friendly, leave room on the streets for the ones that actually require a car for their transportation. If you leave in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and can't be served by public transportation, great, you probably need a car. If you drive your car in cities for trips of 5-10km because it's convenient then we, as a society, should find ways to disincentivise this usage.
