>>1074410OP, let me re-state and simplify your original post, so we can have a REAL conversation about this, instead of the usual troll/meme garbage:
>Would you, EVER, own or even ride in a so-called 'driverless car'?..and my answer is FUCK NO, I'd rather WALK everywhere than set foot in some deathtrap run by some half-assed fake 'AI' programmed by some fucking HACK over at Google who will NEVER take responsibility for me or anyone else getting injured or killed by the piece of shit.
FACT: There is NO SUCH THING as 'Artificial Intelligence', not yet, maybe never. Go talk to some neuroscientists; what they'll tell you is that we have no idea at all yet how human cognition and human consciousness works -- therefore it is IMPOSSIBLE for us to build machines that actually 'think'.
FACT: 'Deep learning algorithms', 'expert systems', and the like are what the media have ERRONEOUSLY hyped as so-called 'AI'. Furthermore companies like Google have invested millions and millions of dollars into this nonsense, and they'll latch onto ANY media hype they can to get investors to give them MORE money, or at least help them recoup their expenses.
FACT: The general public has bought into the media hype so thoroughly that they actually believe that so-called 'self driving cars' CAN THINK. I half expect that they believe that their magical 'self driving car' will have a nice chat with them on their way to work; THAT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN.
FACT: So-called 'self driving cars' are nowhere NEAR being ready for general deployment, regardless of what the media is trying to sell you. Auto manufacturers are making it seem on the surface that they're close, but in fact all they're doing is hedging their bets so IF the technology is something that can be sold, they won't be left behind. IT IS ALL STILL JUST HYPE.
