Your point about terrible drivers getting better through practice doesn’t make much sense to me:
- autonomous cars are also getting better with practice
- we’re alway producing new batches of terrible drivers. This is unlike autonomous cars, where all cars within a particular fleet (Waymo, Cruise) are monotonically becoming better drivers
- rightbyte 3y agoWhy would they get monotonically better? Is that your experience with modern best practice software development? Where companies push user hostile features and bugs automatically without user interaction. All Waymo cars could simultaneously degrade due to an update (or hack). Imagine if all them did full left at the same time.
- Gud 3y agoYour objections make little sense. Waymo is not working on a mobile phone widget but on advanced process control software. And yes, this class of software is getting increasingly better. Of course software bugs will be introduced, and later rectified. We live in an imperfect world.
