Automated Cars: Redux

February 09, 2012

Last year I linked to an article that detailed a proposed law in Nevada allowing artificially intelligent cars on the road and offered some thought about what a future with A.I. cars might look like. Recently, A.I. cars have been in the news again.

I like the statement of the ethical concern at the end. I can see arguments about whether AI’s are really “persons” to justify their continued use in high risk situations. Of course an AI would be much easier to clone or have control a vehicle or robot remotely.

If we took the AI car to the next step, control of the car and traffic would be handed over to a city AI that was in charge of traffic flow.

I was actually have a good conversation with a few of my trucker friends about Automated Driving, because a few were worried about being replaced by robots and losing their jobs.

In the end we came to the conclusion that there will always be a need for human drivers because of the need for manual labor/unloading/refueling. Also, jets, for example, have the capabilities of flying themselves, but there is still the need for the skills of a human pilot.

In the end, I’m really interested to see how AI will effect the future of driving.
