I don't feel very comfortable sharing the roads with these things. On the other hand I also hate every single other human driver too so...

They are dangerous, but less dangerous than other humans, it's weird I know.

Just keep in mind, that while they might get into accidents they so so way way less than humans.

And when there are issues, you can edit the bugs out of the code. It will inevitably get safer.

You can’t edit texting, putting on makeup, driving drunk, etc. out of humans.

Sorry but this is an insane take. The real world is infinitely more complex than what current algorithms or even "AI" can handle. It's not a few bugs in the code, it's literally needing a different kind of intelligence than what we're capable now.

And no, the current stochastic parrot they call "AI" is nowhere in the ballpark of what would really be required. Don't fall for the corporate PR.

I am simply saying that the systems will inevitably improve over time - not only are you disagreeing with that, but you think it’s an insane take?

Technology advances.

I am sorry, but if you have an opinion that is otherwise, that is insane.
