I like how half our laws stop functioning with the introduction of AI.
Driverless car speeds away from cops: see video
A driverless car sped away from a bewildered San Francisco police officer during a traffic stop, new video footage shows. In a bizarre clip posted on April 1, police appear to stop a driverle…
Ah the wonders of science...
Presumably the registered owner of the car, but no citation was issued.
What is the single biggest factor in auto accidents? Operator error. Driverless vehicles will save lives...can't wait to see them in general use.
Company that owns the car!
Yeah this worked well, huh? I spend a week in Disney World recently and all the rides are automated. No less than 5 times the rides shut down due to, "our ghostly friends", or some other cute reason. But, they still shut down for about a minute at a time. Disney is among the best in the world at what they do and they still have cliches. I don't want a driverless care, a pilotless plane or anything else without a backup operator.
There is no AI program which can even being to approximate the MILLIONS of decisions a human brain can make. Yes, people can make errors, but a machine is not capable of predicting the often subtle warning signs ahead, and then taking defensive measures.

Yep, anything go wrong even with the most advanced engineered machines we have. Without Captain Sully in the plane, a fully automated AI program would have attempted to return to the airport rather than ditch in the river. The plane would not have made it back, and 150 people would have died, all because the one thing left which could have saved them (which did save them) was an experienced human making the types of quick decisions no machine can make.
An enormously complex machine took your finger movements and turned them into readable digital text (the above post) that people all around the world can read. It did not require an experienced human, and no quick decision on your part, other than to type some sentences, factored into what just occurred.
Don't worry about it. Lots of the transport systems you use are automated. Elevators, escalators, draw bridges, traffic lights, rail systems, and much of the operations of planes too (... contrary to how vocal airplane pilots are about how necessary their jobs are). What's more is that design engineers know how distrustful people like you both are of this level of automation — and therefore often play tricks on you to dupe you into thinking that these system are not automated and that you have actual "control."
The tech outpacing the laws and law enforcement training. It's the latter I worry about.
Skynet c/o Cyberdyne Systems.
Yea, I mean it's going to come down to insurance and civil liabilities. These cars don't have to be perfect, they just have to do dumb shit less often than people do to be insurable.
