Reply to comment by leto78 in Ford and VW Abandon the Self-Driving Road to Nowhere. Big story that with little fanfare by newleafkratom

I assume that they are also doing that. Their cars have assisted driving systems, and they are going to continuously improve on them. I however doubt that with iterative improvement on those systems you are going to reach full self driving. Full self driving means that you are never going to need a steering wheel in the car, and the car can take you everywhere you could drive. That requires human level intelligence. You don't get there just by training your neural networks just a bit more

Depends on how you mean. The problem isn't self-driving ability per se, but the standard of proficiency. The technology is already there to produce an FSD car, just not one capable of maintaining anything near the level of safety standard we'd require. It's entirely possible at some point, somewhere FSD cars will simply be declared "good enough" even if there are still a lot of bugs. (not saying that would necessarily be a good thing, but it's something I could see happening).

The question is when FSD is safer than humans. The problem is we as humans will ignore millions of accidents avoided by FSD that always has instant reaction times and doesn't get distracted, and we'll be scared of it because of rare edge cases where a human may have been able to do better.
