The entire approach they're using is wrong because we have no idea how a human brain produces the phenomena of 'consciousness', 'thought', or 'self awareness', We don't even have the instrumentality to study those things because it has to be on a living brain in realtime. Our technology will have to advance significantly in specific directions before we can have the hardware to actuall 'see' what a human brain is doing down to the cellular level in enough detail to even have a chance to understand what's going on when someone 'thinks'.
Meanwhile at the current level, so-called 'AI' is more or less the equivalent of 'a million monkeys pounding away on a million typewriters for a million years'; the only way they'll produce all of Shakespeares' works is accidentally. Mere 'machine learning algorithms' aren't going to magically 'wake up' into a conscious artificial mind. This is reality, not "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress".
We can't even understand the inner workings of a mouse brain yet -- or a horse brain. But a horse brain can 'think' on a primitive level. Which brings us back to the actual thread subject.
I'd trust a horse to get my unconscious self home safely (assuming the horse knows where 'home' is) long before I'd trust some so-called 'autonomous' machine.
