you mean, exactly like when a human driver fails to interpret a pedestrian’s intentions and hurts someone? A thing that happens every day?
and the urban environment where pedestrians are “truly safe” from human drivers is where?
there presently exists some scenario where any given human driver is going to misinterpret one or more human behavior(s) exhibited by one or more pedestrian(s).
The logic you’re using to say AIs aren’t ready means that neither are humans.
You aren’t wrong. The AI does need to get at least as good as the human aggregate of interpreting peds. What I’m pointing out is that the AI is already better at interpreting peds (and all other driving scenarios) than some quantity of human yet legal drivers.
But our argument is insignificant given that human drivers can–and regularly do–lapse to zero for driver ability (drunk, phone, passenger distraction, sleepy, mind wanders, medical issue, glare, blind spot, can’t hear etc). Under these circumstances, there can be no interpretation of a pedestrian’s intentions whatsoever.
