I've been a fan of AI-driven cars for decades, long before it started to become a vague possibility. Humans are simply very, VERY bad at driving. It's the perfect use case for AI, assuming it can be brought up to a sufficient level of quality.

This is one of the problems with the current hype cycle and impending AI bubble burst around generative AI. The awful products being rushed to market and forced into existing products (See: Google's nonsense AI summaries) is going to undermine the public's faith in ALL forms of AI by association, most likely pushing back developments of actually useful AI by years. Resulting, as you note, in more deaths on the roads.

All so some tech bros can pretend to be novelists and painters.

Thanks for linking to my article!

You're welcome re: article happy to highlight your great work!

And yes agree with your points, we deserve better than the Ai utopians & AI doomer dominated debates. We need evidenced based discussions on what could provide benefit, and whats a bad idea, not blind prejudice or emotional reactions.

We need critical thinking about these important issues, thanks for sharing yours its much appreciated!
