Re: Daft

(1) Human drivers can negotiate their way through crowded spaces using a wide range of subtle social cues. There is no sign of AI being able to do that.

(2) No, it shows that you either need constant human input or no human input ever. In this case the car couldn't drive itself, asked for help which wasn't forthcoming ... and then, rather than simply slow to a halt at the side of the road, chose instead to continue trying to drive.

(3) Since it is clear that nobody knows enough about it actually to make it happen, the field is open.
