Remember the Uber self-driving car that killed a woman crossing the street? The AI had no clue about jaywalkers

Re: Surely

What worries me it's not sampling the environment fast enough and detect where an object is and in which direction it is moving, regardless of what it is, when it's in front of the car. It attempts to classify an object and infer most of its position and path from such classification.

I don't know it mimicking how a human driver brain works it's the right solution, We don't have ranging devices, so we had to do without. If we were like bats, we would use them to map the environment.

I wonder what would happen if a truck loses its load and "strange" objects start to to roll and bump along a road - AI cars will happily run into anything because it's unexpected? If a tree crashes on a road the AI will decide it should not be there, especially since it would have been trained with vertical trees, not horizontal ones?
