Computers will run the world as they are superior to people.

Today 10 year old computer controlled vehicles are being scrapped because the repair cost is more than the car is worth. Planned obsolescence at its finest.

These must be in Thailand already according to the video................At 13 seconds in she clearly states that you can, quote...."sit back and relax, have a snack, and take a nap"...........is that not what happens with drivers on these roads every day...............

Isnt this tech supposed to drive itself?  which means the passenger doesnt actually do anything.

I’m guessing with 20 years to complete the transition from human control to computer. 
 

California just passed a bill to phase out ICE cars by 2035, guess they figure electric and self driving cars will be the norm by then....totally at a loss on the mindset of governments.....

You just love the word Sheeple don't you.  Anybody who thinks differently then you is a sheeple, do I have that right?  The word is not appropriate for anything other than labeling a farm animal as what it is called a Sheep.  Stop with the condescending and name calling by using the word. Why not use the word lemming, because you Sir are following others when you use the word Sheeple.

How do you program common sense into a computer?

 

Its raining

A dog runs across from the left

A kid runs across from the right

Another car over takes you at 140kph

 

A car going 100kph in.opposite direction swerves onto your path and there is little room on the side of the road or a big tree and a building on right

 

What does the car do? Brake? Hit the tree? Swerve right into a building?

 

A good driver can make a decision to choose the best option. A computer has no idea what the best option is.

Can't see it working in Thailand.

Would a computer know to hit the horn instead of the brakes?

Currently there are 1.3 million road deaths per year. 

Will computer operated vehicles bring that number down? Of course.

I would say the same about you. 

 

There are equally good reasons to assume they will not be safer. No one knows how to build common sense into computers. However, commonsense reasoning is needed for an ADS to handle all the unexpected situations (edge cases) it might encounter. Without commonsense reasoning, ADSs can only handle edge cases that have been explicitly coded into the ADS software or edge cases that the ADS has been trained to handle. Accidents and traffic jams can occur when edge cases are encountered that were not anticipated by the ADS engineers.

The reality is that ADSs will likely be safe for certain ODDs (e.g. a corporate shuttle that back and forth along a single street at 5 mph) but perhaps not for other ODDs (e.g. a taxi service that covers a broad geography and all weather conditions) and for Level 5 operation.

Most deaths occur at speed. You can not program all variables into a car just like you cannot do it with anything really.

Shouldn’t ADS developers be required to prove an ADS is at least as safe as a human driver for a specific ODD before allowing it out onto public roads? This lack of regulation has the potential to turn our roads into a vast experiment with disastrous consequences.

HUH?

Wonder why the manufacturers/engineers have designed over 1,000 micro chips in every car?

Ever hear of:

anti lock brakes,

cruise control,

electronic stability control,

blind spot detection,

collision warning,

lane departure warning,

rear view video, automatic braking,

pedestrian emergency braking,

lane centering

Those are partially useful. Not in total control.

 

They sometimes locked up and fail too.

 

At least do some research on the topic before commenting.

1 there are no facts to support your claim

 

2 there is more money in it which is why they are being developed

There are already rain-sensing wipers.

I could write you a Nassi-Schneidermann algorithm for the rest but I doubt you could understand it!

Yes I know. Detecting rain isnt the issue. Its the combination of issues 4,5,6,7 variables.

 

How do you weight those issues in importance?

 

Dog

Child

Rain

Pot hole

Tree

Building

Curve in road

Car on wrong side of road

 

You CANNOT WRITE A PROGRAM with CORRECT WEIGHTING OF RISKS FOR ALL VARIABLES.

 

Painfully obvious people need to think about it.

Better to kill a dog than swerve and kill a child.

National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that human error accounts for 95% of all auto accidents, therefore self-driving cars that eliminate most accidents caused by human error and are safer than humans. Are you getting it now?

 

Humans get tired, drunk, stoned, text while driving, are easily distracted and let's be honest, a significant percentage of humans (dont take it personal) ....fall to the far left of the IQ curve chart.
