No, I made the point that even with AI stupid behavior like that which I pointed out can cause accidents because it's not possible to pre-program intelligence to react to situations, timing, etc.. that it's not aware of.
Neither can humans, the issue is who is superior since neither option is perfect.
I'll take my adaptability and ability to react over a pre-programmed machine or learning algorithm any day. :-)
The driverless car will also detect the idiot, and will detect his movement and predict the intercept much more quickly and precisely than you are and also will be able to react much, much faster than you can. I'll also add, if it was a driverless car moving the idiot, it wouldn't pull into your right of way either. You're making a great case for getting humans off the wheel!
You're missing the point: only in as much as the AI knows, has been programmed to know or as good as the learning algorithm it's been programmed with is capable of.
That's the rub.
And as I pointed out to another poster above, AI is only "effective" and "practical" for humans to cede decision making authority for us until the AI starts deciding for itself what is in its, or our best interests.
Then, all bets are off.
That's not a road I'm willing to go down (no pun intended, try getting AI to do that! )
There’s no rub, the AI doesn’t have to know much at all. At it’s gotta figure out is direction of travel and speed of the other vehicles. It doesn’t need to figure out why the driver of the vehicle is running the stop sign, it just notices that the vehicle is moving therefore your vehicle shouldn’t. And it will notice that faster than us, stop faster than us, and maintain better control of the vehicle through the stop better than us.
That’s the real rub, some people just don’t like the idea of the car being better at driving than us. The funny part of that being that it’s American, some of the worst drivers on the planet, making the most noise.
