With these kinds of things, I want to see comparisons to trained, alert humans. Cut out all the distracted, stressed, tired, incompetent, intoxicated cases from the baseline. That includes rushed doctors at the end of a long shift.
A self driving car doing better than a drunk on the freeway doesn't reassure me that it'll do better than sober me in a snowstorm.
- rlt 5mo agoThat would be a fine bar if you could ensure your doctors or nearby drivers aren't distracted, stressed, tired, incompetent, or intoxicated.
- fragmede 5mo agoHow does sober you in a snowstorm cause the drunk on the freeway not to drive?
- goda90 5mo agoIt doesn't, but I'm not going to trust my own safety to a self driving car that can only be said to be better than the worst drivers. It's a bad baseline.
- darkwater 5mo agoNon sequitur. The core idea is that if you have just self-driving cars you won't be trained enough to drive properly next time you're caught in a blizzard, because you never drove for the last 5 years. I also question if the kind of person who actually drives while drunk - knowing perfectly by thousand of society inputs and peer pressure that it is wrong - will care enough to buy a self-driving car.
