    Yet another reason to despise AI. Animals deserve to be safe too. We’ve already taken so much from them as it is.

      Ai has a proven track record of causing less accidents, and killing far fewer animals per km traveled than the average driver.

      92% fewer accidents involving animals than the average human.

      Ai doesn’t drink, get distracted, or smoke meth like the ml mods.

        I believe these cars drive on the same roads all day, whereas people are likely to be driving in and out of areas these systems are not familiar with. I suppose a good comparison would be of a taxi driver that only operates in the same area as the driverless cars, if that exists.

        here you dropped this

        per capita

        your figures (though I doubt them) don’t include the skew of driver vs driverless vehicles. of course driverless cars are 92% less likely to have an accident involving animals. that’s because driverless cars account for less than 1% of the entire vehicle population.

        Ai doesn’t drink, get distracted, or smoke meth like the ml mods.

        but it does randomly hallucinate.

        And have a nice habit of being turned off before the accident so the AI didn’t cause the accident. Numbers are bullshit.

      as the comment chain below highlights, autonomous driving AI is completely different from LLMs. Computer vision and control theory have made big improvements because of machine learning, do you despise this too?

      Then keep the car inside. Outdoor cats are not safe and get killed by cars animals.
