It AI worked, we would have had self driving cars by now.
We don’t have self-driving cars because no corporation is insane enough to take on the liability for driving a fleet of cars on our highways - it’s a bloodbath out there (when you look at it from the large-scale view), and anyone operating 10,000+ vehicles out there is going to be involved in multiple fatal accidents per year.
When it’s UPS operating a fleet of trucks, the liability for the 30-ish people killed per year in collisions with their trucks is handled driver-to-driver. When “the robot” is out there up against the world, who’s the jury going to side with?
Yep juries will pick the person every time. You only need ONE that hits the headlines… bus load of kids, famous person etc and your brand is annihilated
Even the most pessimistic reports of human involvement still puts them in the ‘mostly self-driving’ camp, and I’d rather have one with a fallback than one without.
There are 70 drivers for 3000 vehicles. Which goal is good enough for you? We’ll make a note, I’ll tell you when we passed it, and you can tell me why it’s not real. I’m willing to wait.

I can’t think of anything good that we have today cause of AI that we didn’t have 5 years ago.
quarterly profits have been great or something

I rode in one last month, down the highway.

Should I disbelieve my lying eyes?
Yeah I wouldn’t call that self driving.
Here is a genuine question for you, how did the cost compare to an uber ride? Was it a fraction of it?
Technological leaps have always provided huge reductions of cost, I do wonder how expensive robo taxis would be compared to regular ones
I don’t think we’ll ever stop moving the goal posts. You can still meet people who don’t use computers and have never seen the use in them.
Moving the goal post? Self driving has the word self in it, if anything I’m insisting on keeping the goal post.
