That might be an issue for supervised "self-driving" cars (eg. tesla FSD), but not really applicable to self driving cars as a whole. Waymo seems to be doing just fine for instance.
- jonah 7mo agoExactly why I put "self-driving" in quotes. Right now AI assisted coding might generally be at the equivalent of Level-2 or -3 self-driving. Getting to autonomous coding agents will be like the step change that is Level-4 or -5 driving.

[1] If you look at waymo's prior blog posts, you'll realize that the people in Philippines aren't making split second decisions that was implied by "you’re not going to pay as much attention as you should". https://waymo.com/blog/2024/05/fleet-response https://waymo.com/blog/2024/05/fleet-response >And aren’t they still failing occasionally? [2] What's the failure rate of humans? For both AI drivers and coders, if they make less mistakes than humans, that's still a win.
