It’s an interesting technical challenge, but since the stakes are high, autonomous cars need to be damned near fool proof. It’s one thing to remove the fool from the loop; it’s quite another to replace it with a guaranteed non-fool.
Idiot humans can drive cars. Autonomous vehicles on public roads, despite the efforts of the brightest minds in AI, are still killing people.
As far as possible, I hope. Algorithms are if-then rule-readers. Human beings are randomly rule observers, rule breakers, and relatively rule unaware.
