How will a computerized car know when to stray from its lane? When to blow through a neighborhood stop sign when no one’s around and you don’t want to risk a slide?
It won’t-that is a big reason it is dangerous-it isn’t able to reason and react like a human does, allowing for split second changes and varying actions/reactions to each situation-you could put wheels on a PC, iphone or laptop, program it, set it on the street and start it up and probably have it perform just as well as a driverless car...
They’re developing self-learning computers that learn from humans faster than other humans. No need to program. They simply watch you drive, optimize as they drive themselves and eventually can handle every new situation on their own. Just like a human driver learning.
Then network them and imagine combining the knowledge from thousands or even millions of humans in one system. Eventually from multiple human lifetimes. Not just for driving but for anything.
I’ve seen it in action and it’s truly powerful and terrifying stuff.
How will a computerized car get unstuck? How will it handle black ice? How will it go up a slushy hill?
Actually, it’s probably programmed to shut down in bad weather. You don’t need to go out anyway, it’s not safe.
