      yeah people seem to just be good at that sort of thing. And if you really need automated travel it turns out we already have a great system on our hands for that.

        Yeah I have to drive a manual with a heavy clutch so it's harder to drive in traffic, but perfectly doable with practice. AI is just not good with dealing with such a dynamic and fluid situation like driving through a city like this.

          It seems like car companies wouldn't want to be liable for every car crash that happens as well. They either have to get it perfect or get sued a lot. They'll probably compromise and make their shit not working and killing people not their legal responsibility somehow.

            They'll just do what Tesla did, false advertise it as self driving with the technicality that the driver must be able to take over at any point in time.

              So you either have to disable auto pilot and then brake or swerve or whatever or manual just takes over when you interact with a thing and then you can just randomly brake, speed up or turn by accidentally touching a pedal or the wheel. This makes sense.

        Almost like the road and car infrastructure has over a century of innovation/development along the lines of people driving the cars. Almost like without that century of development of car based infrastructure, driving would be even more dangerous. Almost like maybe, cars are a terrible mode of transportation considering over a century of millions of humans have worked to make them safer and they're still one of the leading causes of death.
