So you feel that 100% is easily within reach? As a coder, I can't help but think it'll be a while before we iron out all the bugs in the driving AI, and as a result, we'll see self-driving cars on the roads long before they are able to outperform 100% of human drivers in all situations, or even your average sober, attentive driver in all situations.
Even if their reaction processing times are orders of magnitude faster and the sensors give you significantly better awareness, if there are conditions where the sequence of AI responses and priorities are conflicting or wrong, then you'll just be faster and better at getting the wrong solution, sometimes tragically so.
I don't doubt that we'll ultimately be much better off with self-driving cars being the rule, but it may be a bumpy road to get there.
- JshWright 13y agoI never said easily. In fact I said the technology still had a lot of maturing to do. I also never said it would be 100% (though I'd dare you to find me any human who would meet that 100% criteria either). I absolutely agree there is still a ways to go before this is mainstream technology. I also agree that we will get there eventually, and the world will be a better place for it.
