Humans are the problem [2015/15/21]

Self-driving cars are getting into more accidents due to other human drivers.

It is a sad day for AI and humanity. I sort of predicted this. Driving in LA, things can be

quite chaotic. A self-driving car goes by the book but not humans. So even if the AI is

the best driver, in driving if the other driver is not so good then we have accidents.

So should we teach AI to sometimes make judgment calls? This makes things really

complicated for insurance and also for morality. But I think there is a solution, well, an

enhancement, ask the driver to take  control in uncertain situations.That should prevent

some accidents. Also, temporarily, we can have self-driving cars use car pool lanes to

avoid collision and we can make signs letting other drivers know that there is a

self-driving car, just like a "baby on board sign" :D
