Re: Autonomous driving is months, years, or decades away
I would note that the auto-driving cars have a counterpart to driving while impaired:
snow, fog, sandstorms, dirt on lenses, IT failure, laser pointers, really bright reflections of sunlight, the list is endless of the ways by which the sensors feeding the self driving AI can be affected.
And this ignores the computer vision shenanigans that pranksters/thieves/malicious could do - making stop signs look like speed limits and what not, or data poisoning the maps.
The point isn't that any one or dozen scenarios can be trained against - the point is that there are probably an infinite number of such scenarios. How will the self driving machines handle the ones which it isn't trained for?
