    Regardless, he’s saying this stupid shit for more than 10 years now. Self driving cannot be solved without an artificial general intelligence because there has to be an understanding of what other people are going to be doing

      Eh. You can probably solve it with a good enough artificial narrow intelligence. Or/and dedicated infrastructure, inter-car communication protocols, etc. The issue is it’s solving the wrong problem altogether.

        Years ago (maybe still) Microsoft had a research facility for self-driving infrastructure. Instead of putting all the recognition and awareness in the car itself, a lot of it was offloaded the mini city they built. Streets and stop signs with embedded RFID, etc.

        This, of course, doesn’t stop pedestrians from dying. But I thought it was a cool approach to the problem to “update the world” instead of trying to make a product that navigates our unmodernized infrastructure

            Maybe, though trams only work in town. I couldn’t go see my family with a tram but I could put my self-driving city car in manual and take it out past the cornfields.

            I think a lot of things have to change outside of major cities for public transportation to really take off as a concept here. There is SO much “empty” space in the US, it’s hard to imagine getting infrastructure out there that mainly only benefits a handful of people

      If there was dedicated lanes/infrastructure it might be possible but makes more sense for cities to improve public transportation. A bus/train is a big fancy car powered by a general intelligence.
