Yep, it's either science fiction or science fact. There seems to be a lot of opinionated people that insist they can counter reality by yelling harder. But their points of view don't necessarily align with the facts.
My view is very simple. Lots of people insist that this stuff is dangerous and will kill people. Lots of Tesla FSD capable cars are on the road and are racking up billions of miles. Where are the traffic deaths? Where are the countless crashses? Those supposedly dangerous situations escalating all the time? It's all failing to happen as people insist it ought to be happening. Maybe that's because they are wrong. If anything, it seems Tesla runs circles around the likes of Volvo in terms of car safety by now. They certainly seem to insist so and they claim to have the numbers to prove it. And I'm not hearing a lot of statistics that counter that.
Meanwhile, there are of course lots of traffic deaths. The vast majority of which involve human drivers making fatal mistakes and getting themselves into trouble. Even adjusted for relative miles driven by humans and AI, the numbers aren't good for humans. They are terrible actually. It's not that hard to do better than that. AI vs. drunk, tired, reckless, moronic, etc. human drivers is basically no contest. And there are a lot of those. Roads are dangerous because of that.
