Machine signal detection will get better as AI gets better, can't say the same for humans...with over 40,000 fatal crashes in the U.S. annually
Thus, it's also safe to conclude that
humans "sensory capabilities are subject to limitations as well when placed in a dynamic situation such as driving in changing environmental conditions and where it detects situations that the mind was not programmed to encounter and react to", which we prove every minute of every day
If autonomous driving can immediately cut the annual fatal crash figure in half, that could be seen as a win for many.
Instead of worrying about computers killing us, we should be more concerned about
us killing us.
It's all a matter of perspective...
