A human CAN make a better decision, but they often don’t. How many times do you see people turn into a street without enough opening? Go too fast for conditions? Tailgate? Blow through signs and lights? Not to mention all the non-driving things they do to make themselves bad drivers: drinking, texting, cellphoning. A big part of the problem is that we take driving for granted, when we’re fully engaged and analyzing the situation and using our skills we’re very good drivers. But 99% of the time behind the wheel we aren’t those things, we’re going through the rote motions, thinking about work, or dinner, or the spouse, or just zoning out. How often do you get home from work and realize you don’t remember ANYTHING about the drive home? How engaged do you think you were during that time? Could you have avoided a bad situation? Are you sure you didn’t make a bad situation?
Computers don’t have any of those problems.
Well I’ll let you be the human crash dummy first. Fair enough?...: )
