I certainly dont want more human like results. AI is goign to crush human like results. Nott least by not thinking they anticpate well because humans think they are great but actually really suck at it. Even if they were concentrating hard and had 360 degree vision - which they dont get remotely close to.
I'll give you better pics. You do have that. I also appreciate you avoiding me on the roads. Please can everyone who thinks they are great at antipating avoid me.
Again it seems to me you speak on the topic based on beliefs that are not rooted in any fact.
Do I believe one day that AI driving, AI Human like speech and interaction, AI like sentience might all emerge and be better than man in any/all/most areas, yes. Given enough time, yes.
BUt we are no where that breakthru yet and some leading theorists believe we may never get there as they think it requires a break thru separate but equal to or bigger than, the big data breakthrough's that spawned the first wave of AI advancement that allow AI to game theory and win at Chess, etc.
The lead theorists do not believe that simply more and more big data is the answer (not most of them I have heard anyway).
So what we need to do is divide this talk into the more Sci Fiction aspects and the science-fact, as it appears to me you always bring up the fiction part.
And there is nothing wrong on theorizing on and believing in the fiction components and that one day many of them will be achieved (as I do) but that is different than a reality based sci-fact discussion.
In sci-fact, top humans are just way better drivers now than top AI. Wayyyyy better.
Our biggest weakness is not a driving one, but is that we prone to distraction, and in that area AI beats us. It is never distracted and always focused on the road ahead. But when you have a top human always focused on the road ahead (such as in nascar picture) we humans can do things AI driving has not got anywhere near touching.
So I am NOT throwing up my hands and saying it is too hard, and what I am doing is trying to discuss sci fact and not theory that may or may not evolve, but is not here yet.
