I'm not saying this is damning evidence, but how many human drivers are on the road versus AI? A quick Google search says there are 300 Cruise vehicles operating at night currently. I am confident I could survey 10 times that many taxi drivers and not find a single one who has accidentally driven into wet concrete.
- TOMDM 3y agoThat's the difficulty with n=1 Was this a freak accident, or indicative of expected performance. I guess we'll only find out if more Cruise cars turn themselves into modern art.
- mr_toad 3y agoTrue, but presumably Cruise can fix this issue. Can we fix human drivers?
- elif 3y agoThe problem with that analysis is that "driving into wet concrete" is not even in the top 1000 problems affecting road users. It is non-fatal for starters, which makes it in a separate category completely from the worst idk ~200 or so problems on roadways. Ask how many of those taxi drivers how many have interacted with their smartphone while driving, and you will find that 100% of them have been part of a common roadway problem that leads to fatalities.
