Driverless Cars- What do we think
Discussion

It is a little worrying that in advocating these systems you doesn't realise that it is totally about replacing a human - the whole point of autonomous or driverless cars is exactly that - cars without the human making the decision - what exactly do you think they are replacing?!
It's interesting that when we want to make people a little less rubbish at driving, we do it by making them drive to a system - by making them behave more like a machine. There are things that human brains are very good at and computers are not. Human brains are not particularly good at driving cars. Autonomous cars are not fundamentally an AI problem, and thinking of them in that way is a distraction.otolith said:

I was left with the following belief. Pit Pony said:
I went to an IMECHE lecture a couple of weeks back by the bloke that runs MIRA.
All about driverless cars and increasing automation.
Very interesting.
I'll bite...go on then, in what way?All about driverless cars and increasing automation.
Very interesting.
Whilst there are cars with drivers, it is unlikely that full automation will be safe whilst humans share the decisions. You might automate specific tasks (like parking) or you might develop roads which are for automation only, like new motorways which would be automation only, or you might make city centres electric AND automatic only. (especially in the worlds mega cities)
There will be gradual, replacement of driver decision making. Like is already available.
