  This is only news because it's an AI car. Were it a human, it would be a youtube video with a title "stupid drivers". Nobody would be calling to "regulate human drivers" or "ban all human drivers from driving cars".

    Considering the source, this is only news because it’s not a Tesla.

    This is only news because it’s an AI car. Were it a human,

    It was mainly a driverless car.

    Were it a driverless car without AI, the news would be the same.

    Also once an AI car is taught it will never do this again . Human drivers will keep on doing this.

      The driverless car will plow into cement willingly, as long as it’s a slightly different shade of grey. The human will be distracted by the orange man waving the sign and think “what are the chances I drive into cement again?”

      The only way to fix this is to fine the driverless car company every time. Hold them liable and take away their license. Suspend the driverless car program every time something bad happens. Those VC morons will fix every issue in like 2 weeks.

  We’re going to see driverless cars failing all sorts of edge cases for decades…

      You could even take a page from The Boring Company and… put that tracked contraption in a tunnel! We’re on to something here.

      That would be the optimistic scenario.

  How human of them.

  That looks like a badly secured construction zone to me. Stuff like this certainly happens to human drivers.

    Yeah unless the car went blasting through a barrier I’m not sure we can blame “AI” on this one.

    The whole point is being better than a human and they’re demonstrably not.

      they’re demonstrably not

      Wait… how did you arrive at this conclusion? Humans do this kind of thing all the time, too. You’d have to know the relative rates of accidents and mishaps to say with any confidence that they’re “demonstrably” not better than humans.

      I knew this shit would happen… Elon pushes his shitty “self driving” cars that are years behind the others, and people are now conflating that garbage with high-end, well researched and tested self-driving vehicles.

  I would love to know who’s going to pay for that in the end!

    The insurance for the driver of the vehicle.

      …which brings us to the good old question: who is the driver of a driverless car?
