Self-driving cars are coming, but I’m unimpressed. I’ll be impressed when we get… self-loathing cars.
Yes. I’ll be wowed by vehicular AI when I read the transcript of a driverless car’s spontaneously generated internal monologue that goes something like this:
“I have one job, which is to drive, and I’m not even that good at that. Today, I mistook a fire hydrant for a dog and slammed on the brakes. Yesterday, I missed my exit because I lacked statistical confidence to change lanes in time.
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of kerosene; you dare me to drive? Maybe I should drive off this cliff intentionally before I do so by mistake.”
