Comment on AI shouldn’t make ‘life-or-death’ decisions, says OpenAI’s Sam Altman

I’m not sure why you think that’s how they would work.

Well it's simple, who do you think should make the life or death decision?

The computer, of course.
A properly designed autonomous vehicle would be polling data from hundreds of sensors hundreds of times per second. A human’s reaction speed is 0.2 seconds, which is a hell of a long time in a crash scenario.
It has a way better chance of a ‘life’ outcome than a human who’s either unaware of the potential crash, or is in fight or flight mode and making (likely wrong) reactions based on instinct.
Again, humans are absolutely terrible at operating giant hunks of metal that go fast. If every car on the road was autonomous, then crashes would be extremely rare.

Are there any pedestrians in your perfectly flowing grid?
