Not to put too blunt a point on this metaphor, but a human’s eyes and visual cortex are not stereo cameras and the human brain is not a GPU/CPU despite some apparent similarities. Nor is “professional commercial driver” a job that could be performed by a Neanderthal or a 6 year old student driver of today despite nearly identical hardware and software. I would never ride across Manhattan every day in a car driven by the latter two humanoids and I doubt most anyone would. Ideally these systems should only be certified after performing demonstrably better than a teenage student driver given a series of the most complex, adversarial driving workloads in deteriorating conditions with disabled and malfunctioning sensors. On the other hand, today’s billionaires may actually be close to achieving fully autonomous and acceptably failsafe non-human driving on today’s roads, and they might also be exploring Mars within my lifetime. Personally I wouldn’t bet my life on it.
