Chevy Bolt Self Driving Protoypes Experiencing Same Google Like Crashes

It is interesting that while the self driving vehicles are RARELY at fault. They are doing something a human driver is not doing that causes others to crash into them.

I wonder how many of these accidents are rear-enders where a Autonomous car will actually BRAKE at a yellow light - maybe even strongly.

I continue to believe that Autonomous driving will be restricted to the Limited Access highway system for years. I doubt they could really cope with downtown NYC traffic.

Still - this all depends on the Insurance companies and where the liability goes. It remains possible for a greater number of accidents caused by - even partially - manufacturers error in the software - and whether the manufacturers will try to limit their liability. OTHERWISE - these cars are going to be really really expensive -OR their insurance will be - or both. Imagine the ability to sue a large Car Manufacturer almost everytime an accident occurs. EVEN if you are wrong - their legal bills will be astronomical.

Humans develop a strong and increasing sense of intuition as they experience life. That experience may tell them that a certain vehicle driven by a certain type of driver can be expected not to strictly follow rules. Hence the human takes that into consideration and in the case of the turning lane Charger the human Bolt driver applies the brakes to avoid the incident when they are cut off. Duplication in AI is extremely difficult.AI scientists and engineers will tell you that is why a true level 5 automation is still a decade or two away.

Your premise is false because it is based on some level of bias.

Your argument is basically saying that "people that drive 'x' car are 'blank', so take 'y' action.

Like it or not, life experience induces bias in humans. We all have our biases. The issue is how we act on them. In this case the self preservation mode kicks in.

Bias influences decisions and actions.

Experience should tell you any driver is capable of making a poor driving decision at any time, regardless of vehicle.

What this article is basically saying is that, like people, ai is not a perfect driver.

But like your grandparents/parents/"x", they follow the rules of the road so closely that they, are involved in accidents because everyone around them do not.
