Triggering some sort of extreme safety mode is considered failing now?

• zamadatix 10mo ago
  Anything other than "normalish" tends to be a failure in driving. I.e. stopping and throwing your hazards on when you're in the intersection isn't success just because there were even worse options to have picked. It's nice they were able to pull the fleet back and get the cars out of the roads during the problem though.

  I'd say yes. The goal of a self-driving car is to emulate humans. If the car is panicking and reverting to "extreme safety mode" in situations where a normal human is going to be fine, then that's a failure.

  I think this was a failure. The gold standard should be that the if every human driver was replaced with an AI how well could the system function. This makes it look like things would be catastrophic. Thus, showing how humans continue to be much more versatile and capable than AI. I suppose if you lower the standards for what you hope AI can accomplish it wouldn't be considered a failure.

    If every human driver was replaced with AI, this situation would have been fine. All the self-driving cars would have respected the four way stop

      But they're exclusively used in areas that allow both human and AI drivers, so this hardly seems relevant.
