Re: Surely
Excellently put! Reading all this, I just keep thinking, it doesn't matter what is in front of me, identified or not, if the end result is 'wtf was that?', default action is still to avoid. It seems the AI version of human anticipation is far harder to implement.
I also wonder how a human driver would have reacted in the same scenario.. If only there was someone who could have stepped in, hmm. although to be fair, anyone can be distracted (I'm not aware of the full details on why the occupant was looking away)
My Nest cam often fails to detect motion from large moving high contrast objects at certain times of the day, like people. Then happily alerts me to a moving cloud's reflection in a car window. Yeah chalk and cheese and a very crappy comparison at best, but makes you think about what this tech has to deal with in the real world.
