The solution to self driving isn’t AI, I know that much. Imagine your wheel is in the hands of calculated guessing…what could possibly go wrong.
Hopefully we’ll see the automotive makers form a standard alliance with something like V2X communications. All this unit independent AI is bad news for humanity and Elon Musk is a degenerate who shouldn’t be trusted…
> It has been an outrageously expensive endeavour, of course. McKinsey put the total invested at over $100bn since 2010. Last year alone, funding into autonomous vehicle companies exceeded $12bn, according to CB Insights.
I had no idea so little had been invested. No wonder it's going slowly.
(For something complicated like driving, something like five to ten percent of a year's world GDP - $5 trillion plus - would seem about right.)
