They do have problems. Early and unfettered access to digital along with our changed mores about safety and independence have created a less autonomous group. Thanks for your comment
The more we rely on AI to ‘fix’ human connection, the more we… lose human connection. [Insert Barbra Streisand weeping.]
The autonomous truck training highlights a gap, and that is, simulations, no matter how advanced, are only as good as their designers’ understanding of chaos. Costa Rica’s roads (with sleeping dogs and darting iguanas) reveal how much unpredictability we take for granted in human judgment.
As we delegate more of our humanity to machines (judgment, connection, even grief) what’s left for us to do? And who do we become in the process?
I mentioned what we become: semi-intelligent bits of self indulgent protoplasm. I hope not but I’m nit convinced. I think with plastic surgery Barbra is no longer able to create tears
Yeah, I love technology but I am not interested in self driving cars. I wonder the same thing that you do - how does it know all the curves and twists of the road or when a deer sprints in front of you.
I remember reading this writer who would do leading edge technology things intensively and try to objectively report on them. He said - a few years ago - that the autonomous vehicle was slow, slowing and stopping a lot to figure things out. For the deer (or any animal IF THEY HAVE PROPERLY IDENTIFIED IT AS AN ANIMAL) they work out safe braking but will hit and kill them. Their goal is to minimize vehicle damage
I get that but it just doesn’t seem safe to me and I grew up with KITT the car on Knight Rider. I don’t understand how it’s able to drive without assistance. Half the times the markings on the road are barely there, so how does it know where to go?
I’m living through #4.. The connected generation is struggling with basic communication.

Thank you David.
