Pendulums still swing, and we will still get consequences from “over trusting” robots.
I’ve heard people say that self driving cars will never happen because we can’t fully trust them to never fail. Yeah, and PEOPLE never fail. HAHAHAHAHA!
I pass roughly 20 crosses on the highway every day on my way to work. It wasn’t a robot that led to those crosses being erected.
On a side note, I’d like to see those crosses removed. Can you imagine what our hospitals would look like if someone stuck up a cross everywhere where someone died.
Maybe we could stand to have a cross every place someone accidentally died in a hospital. They’d serve as warnings.
The hypothetical self driving car will need to keep up with everything a competent human driver can, as long as the rules of the road are kept commensurate (open to people). Not just regular traffic, but all manner of exceptions, and the robot needs to have a good physical intuition. For example — this morning an out-of-control car went skidding and spinning down the lane next to me. Everybody managed to dodge it and it stopped without harm. Mr. Robot has got to have a good idea about what that means.
It is the testing that will be gnarly.
