Do you really think there's more room to improve human nature than AI technology? I don't.
I think they both have a ceiling and that the ceiling on AI is much higher.
- rootusrootus 4y agoYes? The largest causes of accidents are fairly well understood, if we decided it were worth the effort. Not coincidentally, this is why all the arguments for self-driving fall flat. Being as good as an average driver is a low bar. Being as good as a median driver is a harder task. But it's the latter that is the bar we have to pass if self-driving cars are ever to become mainstream.
- jjoonathan 4y agoDeaths = N*average, not N*median.
- rootusrootus 4y agoI was not trying to claim otherwise. But unless you are intending to make self-driving cars mandatory, N*average is meaningless. The median driver is who you actually need to convince, and they are not going to choose a self-driving car that is less safe than they are.
