Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
I have to agree with Elon Musk.. that AI should be regulated before it's "too late" -- and the disruption surprises us. It's one thing for the industrial revolution to create pollution that we can (kind of) clean up over many decades, but the side effects of AI might be much worse for us (esp if we have no way to "clean it up").

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
@mhhf1ve I remember reading about those faked driverles cars. So would you take a free Lyft ride to serve as a guinea pig for driverless cars?

Knowing Google, You'll never know.
But the idea of it is here--whether we like it or not.
..and the challenges it represents is quite a spectacle to be witness to.

It is imperative that we remain in charge no matter what. That's the lessons to be learnt....

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
Heh. I'd certainly take a free ride in an autonomous car right now.. when there are still professional drivers behind the wheel that can at least try to take over if something goes wrong.
I don't know if I'd trust a long-distance trip, though... and there would have to be a LOT more data showing that autonomous cars are better before it becomes legal, anyway.
These tests are all baby steps, but I think it'll work someday. Maybe humans won't be allowed to drive in our lifetime? All autonomous cars on the road is probably safer than some mix of human and robots....

@mhhf1ve < All autonomous cars on the road is probably safer than some mix of human and robots.... > Agreed, and I know that at least one of my kids would prefer to be driven in an autonomous car to driving herself.

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
Assuming autonomous cars are as safe as human drivers (i.e., not perfect but causing less than x deaths per mile driven), who wouldn't prefer an AV to driving themselves? Add on that AVs might obviate the need to own the whole car entirely, and it could be much cheaper and more efficient to let robots take us everywhere.

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
@mhhf1ve Some people enjoy the experience of driving. Certainly, someone who buys something like a Ferrari probably is not just thinking about the safest ride possible but the most fun ride possible -- with him/herself in control of it.

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
Ok, but even people who own Ferraris drive them on closed tracks and not on public roads when they want to really have fun. I imagine the same thing that happened to horses will happen to traditional cars -- they will still be used but mostly for recreational purposes.

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
@mhhf1ve I'm not sure that will happen -- at least not in the next 75 years. Even when cars replaced horses, people were still the ones driving. And even forms of transportation that could have been supplanted by technology -- like bicyles -- are still around and even used for commuting at present.
