    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
