    Human drivers can pull in environmental and other cues though, like “why is there daylight on the road inside a building?”

      Ai can use that info too. And it doesn’t get distracted, or drink beer. Self driving cars have the potential to be much safer than humans. We don’t seem to be there yet, but we will be eventually if we don’t block progress.

        When the CEO keeps saying they’ll have full auto pilot in the next few years for over a decade, then complains that the problem is the government stopping then from rolling it out, you start to question if it should ever be rolled out. At least maybe not by a for profit entity who puts profits before safety.

        You’re talking about a few different things, here.

        • AI could potentially use that info, yes. Teslas don’t use AI to drive
        • Self driving cars do have the potential to be significantly safer, this is true. Telsa’s cars, through a series of missteps, are not anywhere near that potential, and in fact are hazards on the road. This is bad for developing true self-driving cars!
        • The only obstacle to progress being discussed is covered by a picture of a road…

            I’ve seen some things suggesting they’re testing it, I’m not seeing that they’ve deployed anything.

            Honestly, I’d expect AI to make the same mistake as their current systems, though, for a similar reason
