I’m pretty content that “the day when AI in cars can handle ALL conditions on the road, ALL OF THE TIME” (emphasis mine) won’t happen in your lifetime, or indeed the lifetime of any currently gestating fetus.
The insurance industry expects the average insured driver to file a claim every 18 years. That's covering all conditions, all of the time. No "hand off to someone else when I get scared" because humans can't do that.
That's honestly pretty good.
Wake me when autonomous driving can get within a factor of two of that.
Who is if a fully autonomous driving car has an accident.
What about software or sensor errors?
this is a false goal that doesn't exist in the real world
cars, planes, trains, all automation of any kind, all the code you ever wrote, nuclear power plants...all this and more operates with some fallibility that is deemed acceptable given the benefits
no one is excusing AV accidents that seem to defy common sense (randomly driving into barriers etc)...but humans fail in these ways too, every day
