> Could you have a human driver in charge with an accident preventing robot, getting the best of both worlds?

We already have this and we've had it for years. What do you think automatic emergency braking is? Adaptive cruise control? Lane keeping assist?

> The question isn't if robot car is better than an average car being driven by a human. It's if the same robot car would be safer if the human was driving it, and the robot in accident prevention mode. And I don't think that is going to be true in any near future.

No clue what you're trying to say here. Driver assist features don't improve safety?




So call them driver assists.

I am tired of seeing driver assists being sold as driverless systems.


Do you think people buying cars with autopilot believe they are getting fully driverless systems?


People buying current cars were just told that their cars will earn them 30k$ a year. Is fsd driver assistance or driverless?


yes
