It never occurred to me that the AIs driving these vehicles should be tested, but that makes absolute sense.
I wonder what tests these systems must pass before allowed on the road. I remind that it's important that the vehicles do better than human drivers and sadly that's a pretty low bar. I hope we aren't evaluating this primarily by counting deaths, injuries and property damage and comparing between the two.
- avar 3y agoWe already have driving tests, have them pass those, and if those tests aren't stringent enough then the tests need fixing, for humans and robots alike.
- thfuran 3y agoI'm not convinced that the tests should be the same. A human and a computer aren't the same thing, so why must they be assessed the same way?
- Teever 3y agoBecause it's not about the thing that's doing, it's about the thing that's being done.
- thfuran 3y agoBut it is about the thing that's doing. A test is designed with assumptions and knowledge about the thing under test. That two systems perform the same on a test doesn't necessarily mean that they will perform the same out of band, so unless the test is exactingly and comprehensively covering the totality of desired behavior/functionality, two fundamentally very different systems may best be tested with two different tests.
