It's also too complicated for humans, though. They get into accidents all the time.
I feel like we're holding computer drivers to a higher standard than the humans we already allow to drive. The computers are absolutely going to make mistakes, and some of them will have catastrophic results, but, uh...
- hot_gril 3y agoI can buy that good self-driving cars are safer on average than human drivers, but not the Cruise ones.
- krupan 3y agoWhich evidence/data tells you that cruise cars are not safer than humans?
- hot_gril 3y agoThe incident where a bunch of Cruise cars near the Outside Lands concert in SF randomly stopped moving until they were manually reset, people I know in SF saying they drive erratically, and also this incident to a lesser extent. Humans don't make these kinds of mistakes (or faint at the wheel) this often.
- krupan 3y agoIn each of those incidents, how many people were hurt and how badly?
- hot_gril 3y agoI don't know. It's telling enough to me that they drive horribly. I would look at stats instead if they were known and if there were a statistically meaningful number of Cruise cars, but there are only 100-300 in SF.
