    That’s always the premise, but his suggested outcome touts improvement as a foregone conclusion. He just might be somewhat less than realistic.

    I don’t know guys. In all the test cases the few accidents that did occur every one was the fault of other drivers except for one where the human in the test car panicked and tried to seize control from the computer. In everyone of them the computer reacted faster than we could and mitigated the damage saving lives. This is the same reason the airlines no longer want pilots flying their aircraft but rather gamers who understand computers as illustrated by the aircraft that went down because two copilots tried to seize control when the computer was the only one that understood the problem and would have saved everyone on board had they just let it do its job. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2023807/Air-France-pilots-words-plane-crashes-sea-I-dont-control.html

    I don’t like the idea of my airplane taking control from me. Part of the joy of flying is flying; not operating a computer. I get no thrills from playing a video game.

    When does a human being stop being a human being because computers and machines do everything for us and prevent us from doing anything interesting because we might get hurt. We will become like toddlers, always under the control of a nanny.

    Read Isaac Asimov’s Robot and Foundation Series to see how much fun living in a robot-dominated world isn’t.

    While I see the potential for all the good technology can bring I also see the potential for the horrors. Like Elon Musk i believe AI could possibly bring about our downfall which is why, while we may not be able to stop it from becoming reality, we should absolutely require Asimov’s Three Laws world wide. Especially after hearing the Korean AI ’s first words were that it would destroy us all.
