Remember the Uber self-driving car that killed a woman crossing the street? The AI had no clue about jaywalkers

Re: Failsafe

The failure rate of the UBER vehicles (times needing human interaction) there isn't really an excuse.

The onboard camera clearly shows the driver using their phone and not watching the road.

If it was a WAYMO car, then I could understand it. Their average distance between human interactions was iirc over 40 miles at the time of the accident. Uber couldn't hit their target of 4.
