I'm here for it. Drones don't lose their temper or confuse a flashlight for a gun. And maybe we'll finally have the surveillance power to enforce traffic safety

I'm here for it. Drones don't lose their temper or confuse a flashlight for a gun. And maybe we'll finally have the surveillance power to enforce traffic safety rules for real.
- detritus 2y agoDrones... may well make mistakes - I'm not sure that AI Vision is anyway 100% foolproof, but besides - Drone operators are human, and i'm under the impression they most certainly are fallible.
- suoduandao3 2y agoThey're certainly fallible - but they can err on the side of civilian life rather than the drone's. That's a big improvement even if the errors are more common.
- giantg2 2y agoThe fact that the drone doesn't require safety effectively means it shouldn't be armed to comply with typical use of force guidelines. Drones essentially are no different than the crime cameras in the UK, only they're mobile.
- tootie 2y agoReading the article, it's mostly talking about remote control, not AI
- simianparrot 2y agoIn what dream world is this true? Certainly not reality. Heck, the AI "vision" most taxis I take that show a machine view of reality -- Tesla, Toyota, etc. -- consistently mistake random objects for cars, a rock for a cat, and reflective water surfaces at early day for potential hazards, to name a few fun ones. Oh and a slightly large car was once a semi truck. Mistaking a flashlight for a gun is almost a given.
- tootie 2y agoI'm not talking about mistaken vision, I mean like an officer reaching for the wrong item in their belt and shooting someone. But even in terms of a suspect holding an object, a computer vision system may not be 100% accurate, but it also won't panic nor does it even need to react to having a gun pointed at it.
