- nrclark 9mo agoI get your point about camera vs lidar. Humans do have other senses in play while driving though. We have touch/vibration (feeling the road surface texture), hearing, proprioception / acceleration sense, etc. These are all involved for me when I drive a car.
- catigula 9mo agoTo be fair, humans are fairly poor drivers and generally can't be trusted to drive millions of miles safely.
- nradov 9mo agoActually humans are fairly good drivers. The average US driver goes almost 2 million miles between causing injury collisions. Take the drunks and drug users out and the numbers for humans look even better.
- catigula 9mo agoIncorrect. Humans are fairly good engineers, so cars are pretty safe nowadays. If you include minor fender-benders and unreported incidents, estimates drop to around 100,000–200,000 miles between any collision event. This is cataclysmically bad for a designed system, which is why targets are super-human, not human.
- FarmerPotato 9mo agoI don't think averages work that way
- gf000 9mo agoHumans are not good drivers when it comes to long, monotonous rides (because we get tired) But (some) humans have the ability to handle difficult situations, and no autonomous system gets anywhere close to that. So this is more of a "robots handle the easy 80% better, but fail hard on the rest of the 20%". Humans have a possibly worse 80% performance, but shine in the 20%.
