U.S. to decide soon on GM’s request to deploy cars without steering wheels::U.S. regulators will soon decide on a petition filed by General Motors’ Cruise self-driving technology unit seeking permission to deploy up to 2,500 self-driving vehicles annually without human controls, a top auto safety official said on Wednesday.
You must keep a steering wheel. The AI may be good but if it fucks up, you gotta be able to correct that shit. AI in cars isn’t anywhere close to good enough anyways.
It turns out that humans monitoring an AI are basically useless at stoping the AI from messing up. We don’t have the reaction time to take over and be able to drive the car instantly when the car has been driving itself. That’s why there aren’t any companies making level three autonomous vehicles, they all skip from level 2 (like Teslas) to level 5ish (like waymo and GM cruise). It either needs to be all human, or all AI, we can’t do an in between
I’m sure there are situations where humans could be beneficiary though…
