AI is not very good at pattern matching, other than in the development laboratory.
A major part of the problem is that the humans that write the software allow themselves to become lulled by the belief that they're actually creating machine-generated abstract models of patterns, and that these models can be used to detect fact patterns out in the real world, where they don't control everything.
That's why robot vehicles have killed people.
That's why hedge funds that use AI to do program trading have blown up, losing trillions of dollars and causing Wall Street icons to go belly-up.
. . . and human drivers have killed one or two, themselves.You don’t want to scale up robot vehicle use too quickly - but when we are talking one or two fatalities (as long as they are not in my family), you do want to scale up robot drivers as soon as they drive better than the median driver.
And you want insurance and liability laws to be designed to implement that policy goal. Now just might not be the time to go into the auto body repair business.
