Comment on New cars are great...
StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 8 months agoI agree. Let’s cut the middle man and force 100% automated driving. People can fuck in the back then with less likely to die than with humans with stupid cars without assistance driver aids. Driving is extremely dangerous and honestly I trust ai over other people (in USA).

Nah, I don’t know if AI will ever be 100% perfect, and I don’t want to trust it. Ai is human built, and it’s my personal belief that humans aren’t perfect, so AI will therefore never be perfect.
Also, you will always want a qualified driver to be able to take over should some part of the car sensor systems fail.
Sensors, unlike humans have a tendency to fail quickly, sometimes instantly, and even AI and autopilot can behave erratically if it gets bad or false inputs from bad sensors.
It’s like in a airliner, autopilot even though at this point is pretty much practically capable of flying a plane completely from takeoff to landing, there will always be at least pilots on duty in the cockpit in order to account for unforseen circumstances and failures, even if they never actually fly the plane normally.

AI doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to be better than your average human driver. Which, you know isn’t a very high bar…
Comparing to an airplane pilot isn’t the same, a pilot goes through years of training to be able to fly passengers (Well beyond a dinky Cessna or whatever anyways) and you need years of experience on top before you are even considered by the big airlines
A human driver can get a license in as little as a few days

Or hear me out… What if we had really long cars, sometimes chained together, put them on rails, and have just 1 human drive hundreds of them.

Oh seems I wasn’t clear. Sentient AI should drive us. People can downvote me to hell but I will always trust a program with a few bugs than humans that like drinking and driving. Again only talking about USA. At least you can fix those bugs, humans are too dumb to want to admit they have a problem even after they kill that pregnant mother while they survive. Unless, we ban alcohol, which won’t happen. So the solution is to remove the human issue. Give it 30 years and I bet it will be close to the outcome if not on the cusp.

Even if we somehow manage to create a sentient AI, it will still have to rely on the information it receives from various sensors in the car. If those sensors fail, and it doesn’t have the information it needs to do the job, it could still make a mistake due to a lack of, or completely incorrect data, or if it manages to realise the data is erroneous it still could flatly refuse to work. I’d rather keep people in the loop as a final failsafe just in case that should ever happen.

I see your point on this but what or when should an sentient AI be able to decide for itself? What makes it different from a human by this point? Human, us rely on sensors too to react to the world we make mistakes also even dangerous one. What’s the difference between the two aside of course we want to make sure this sentient AI is not working against us.
