Reading the comments I get the impression that most people didn’t actually read the article, which says that a woman was barely touched and not injured by a self-driving car while crossing the street with a red light.
There barely is “news” here, as the car correctly halted as soon as possible after noticing the pedestrian unforeseeable move, so let alone sides to take.
I am perfectly aware that self-driving technology still has numerous problems corroborated by the incidents reported from time to time, but if anything this article seems a proof that these cars will at least not crush to death the first pedestrian that does a funky move.
Why read the article when I can repeat lies and make tired jokes about social credit scores because China bad?
Person crosses street when they shouldn’t.
Car lightly taps them and stops.
Person is not injured.
Person is stupid.
I think regulation is important, but this isn’t news.
TBF, the car is stupid to, not because of this just in general AI is stupid, if it was a human in the car we would just say he was angry but with AI we know it wasn’t angry and made a mistake, it happened to catch the mistake before it killed somebody but that mistake is in the programming of every single car of that type in the world, letting of a small problem like this is equal to saying it’s legal, since it will be a nation wide bug that is allowed.
China has a long history of siding with vehicles running people over.
Not sure if you’re referring to tianmen or the fun Chinese practice of double tap
The car has perfect social credit, the ‘human’ failed to yield at a crosswalk once in 2003.
You do the math, idiotic westerners suck with our superior inverse-logic.
Whether or not to run over the pedestrian is a pretty complex situation.
