Yup.. Watch me handing my life out to some unknown, possibly underpaid, coder, who works on (pretty much certain) Chinese processors with more backdoors than there is crooks in any given government..
"Yes, officer, I think my car was stolen. No, I haven't seen the thief, the car simply got up and drove away, all by itself. I think it was hackers job". Programming? It is simply impossible to predict everything. A program can do only what it was programmed to do. If programmer did not predict some scenario, computer simply won't know what to do. Human driver can think up the solution. Can adjust, innovate, take calculated risks.. And there's just too many that seem to take it as the goal of their lives to prove that humans cannot be trusted with the steering wheel...

Whilst I don't object in principle to the idea of a speed limiter as my car already has one, in that it is rev limited and has fixed gear ratios, and I spend my working life in a truck limited to 56; the issue of autonomous cars and ones that override the driver is a different thing especially in the context of the current Boeing problem.
The risk management however is complicated and could cut both ways, what was the death toll in both Boeing crashes? put that against over 1000 deaths on the roads of Britain every year.

But to put it in some perspective, air crashes/deaths have very limited number of persons responsible for that crash. It may be pilot, it may be traffic controller, it may be programmist who messed up.
Point is- its an environment where a single person can be responsible for deaths of hundreds. And these hundreds have absolutely nothing to say in subject of how is that plane piloted, routed etc. In car transport on the other hand.. I will risk saying that half the people responsible for the lethal section of accidents dies in the very accident , the other half has to live with a word "killer" mentally stamped on their foreheads. Show me scenario where plane passengers are responsible for crash. And I'll take much easier task of providing some.. hundred examples where pedestrian died solely because he/she wasn't looking where he/she is going.

Things approved by the European Parliament today:
* Copyright Directive This will see search engines taxed for links, and content platforms rather than users being liable for copyright violations. Memes are protected though, so that's fine. * Revision to General Safety Regulation This will make the following tech mandatory fit in all cars in the EU by 2022: Automatic emergency braking Lane departure warning Intelligent speed assistance (GPS-linked speed limiter) Alcohol interlock Driver drowsiness, attention and distraction detection and warning Emergency stop signal Reversing cameras/detectors Accident data recorder (black box) |
