>>> [self driving cars are rmeote controlled] in all cases so far deployed, humans monitoring those cars from a remote location, and occasionally sending control inputs to the cars.
Wait, What now?
I have never heard this, but from the founder of CSAIL I am going to take it as a statement of fact and proof that basically every AI company is flat out lying.
I mean the difference between remote piloting a drone that has some autonomous flying features (which they do to handle lag etc) and remote driving a car is … semantics?
But yeah it’s just moving jobs from one location to another.
- tsimionescu 2y agoNote that even the examples he gives are related to things like an operator telling the car to overtake a stopped truck instead of waiting for it to start again. So occasional high level decisions, not minute-to-minute or even second-to-second interactions like you have when flying a drone. This is more like telling your units to go somewhere in a video game, and they mostly do it right, but occasionally you have to take a look and help them because they got stuck in a particularly narrow corridor or something.
