#Asimov was wrong, #Lem was wrong. All the #ScienceFiction authors of the 20th century claimed, humanity would build a #sentient #humanoid #android.
That's not how this will unfold. Humanity will first build a sentient #autonomous #car.
#Boomers don't want companions, they want wombs. Wombs on wheels if you will.
Think of #AI as Auto Intelligence. This even works in German: #KI is KraftfahrzeugIntelligenz. ๐

"Jeanine Nicholson, chief of the Fire Department, said that 'seconds matter' in such incidents and the problem was that responders were not able to access to the patient."

Tesla Braces For Its First Trial Involving Autopilot Fatality
Interesting court case around crashes allegedly caused by the Tesla Autopilot mode. I will stick my neck out here, and semi-agree with Tesla. People should monitor the road context, you cannot just switch off and read or use your phone simply because your car has some degree of automation.

5/5 I hopefully have not misinterpreted this and made a fool of myself, but I should note: this is my opinion as someone who is neither an attorney nor a legal expert (but works at a law firm; close enough!)

3/5 Cruise hasn't mentioned anything about getting state certification, so they're likely only doing Level 3 testing which would have a person in the driver's seat, ready to take control.
State certification is not required for Level 3 testing (state law for AV's only covers Level 4-5).
Side note: permits aren't required for individuals; see the Tesla Autopilot beta-testing nonsense going on in Seattle over the past couple of years

2/5 According to SDOT permit reqirements for autonomous driving testing at Levels 4-5: SDOT says "The Entity must certify to SDOT that the Entity has submitted autonomous vehicle self certification information regarding its Level 4 and 5 vehicles to the Washington State Department of Licensing"

1/5 Regarding the TechCrunch article on Cruise doing autonomous vehicle testing in Seattle (and DC), I dove into the various Seattle & Washington State laws & regulations to try to figure out what's happening.
It appears Cruise will operate in Seattle at SAE J3016 Level 3 (autonomous except when it prompts driver to take over), just as Zoox & NVIDIA are doing (2023 permits).

The risks of driverless cars in a city
"They found that the average detection accuracy was almost 20% higher for adults than it was for children. The systems were also 7.5% more accurate for light-skinned pedestrians than hey were for darker-skinned ones." "Under low contrast and low brightness, the biases against children and dark-skinned people were exacerbated. This suggests that both groups would be at increased risk during nighttime driving."
