my friend bought a ride from a waymo for shits and giggles. i was actually intrigued about how the car made decisions on its own and sorta nerd sniped me to learn more about machine learning (not llms).
there’s probably some evil thing the self driving car companies are doing that im not aware of, but I was just interested in the ML aspect.
Well, there you go. A self driving car DOES remove human error. However, it replaces it with computer error. Now what? I´d think it’s reasonable that if computer error is less than human error, then we are in a better position.
To err is human. To really foul things up requires a computer. - ancient proverb
Even if these things are ‘perfect’, as long as they’re sharing the roads with human drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, there’ll always be some random shit happen that they’re not programmed for.
Eventually, all the things you need to do to mitigate such things just brings you to the solution being trains.
Agreed. Trains are peak civilization. Personal automobiles suck no matter who or what is driving them.
