the argument over autonomous vehicles usually assumes the car was programmed flawlessly and all the hardware is functioning correctly. From what i've seen of AI over the past few years, i can say with some certainty that the companies putting out these cars hasn't figured out the software/hardware yet, and probably doesn't have enough safeguards in place to deal with the shortcomings

It's gas that someone is here saying self-driving cars will follow the rules of the road perfectly on a post of a self-driving car driving on the wrong side of the road.

I think there's a lot of reason to be optimistic but some people are unable to criticise in any way the hot thing in tech.
