The solution is to modularise neural networks
The solution is probably to bury a wire in the road - it seems a bizarre idea to want to replace human drivers with machines but leave in place the infrastructure that machines struggle to process.
However, it is interesting that we seem prepared to accept a much greater degree of carnage provided it originates from people like ourselves. Speed limits, seat belts and alcohol-testing were all the subject of strong opposition despite burgeoning road fatalities. Yet if a professional driver causes an accident, there is an outcry. And as for a machine... Autonomous vehicles will have as much trouble negotiating the double standards as they will the road network.
