Re: Do we want to advance or not?
'A.I. is hard.'
Might be an understatement.
In fact, it might be impossible (except in the sense of neural nets). Coder drones typing in zillions of lines of code? Forget it, not a chance.
A.I. is as allergic to the infinite complexities of the real world as those alien microbes in 'The Andromeda Strain' were to rain.
"Do we want to advance or not?" is apologistic rubbish.
Remember: The stupid thing drove into the side of a truck.
The NHTSA or DOT should order Tesla to turn it off.
Not only does it need to be several times safer than humans, it must be certified not to make stupid mistakes.
They're very far from being done.
