I recall one driverless car drove right into a truck trailer because it couldn’t tell the white trailer was there. I wonder why they are calling this the first fatality?

A computer driverless car has 80 accidents by one account. Tell the Dept of Motor Vehicles you have 80 accidents on your record.
Tell the DMV the fatality was a mere computer glitch, and you apologized already.
Government is making human drivers 2nd class citizens.
Many Robot car incidents are angry people smashing the peopleless vehicle.
What will happen is the auto-car industry will shovel a sufficient amount of money into the pockets of Congressmen and friends and families thereof, and immunities will be made law.

HA! Came up on the playlist this weekend actually.
The bleeding cars are being sold with the claim that they can PREVENT accidents! Obviously they can’t.
Does anybody really think that a camera attached to a computer program can perceive what’s happening in front of it?
A human can perceive another human, based on seeing only a small part of that human. Who is going to try to program a computer to understand that another human is present, when the program is able to examine only a small part of that human and remains unable to determine that it is a part of a whole human?
Example of what I mean: if you see a jacket at a height of about 5 feet off the ground, and it is moving, you know, without thinking, that it is on a human who is walking. Gonna try to program a computer to come to that same conclusion?
Lotsa luck.
