Artificial intelligence systems more apt to fail t...
The concern I would have about driverless cars is that they can fail and they can fail in ways humans mostly would not. So, at the most unlikely of times they might fail in very strange ways that you might not detect in time to save yourself.
It doesn't take much to create an accident either from your side or someone else's. This is why Driverless cars are much more of a problem than people are. Because Artificial intelligence can make mistakes and you might not realize what those mistakes are until it is too late.
For example, let's take steering for example. Imagine you are an artificial intelligence system and you get 1 degree off in your coordinates as to where you need to be going. By the time you have driven a block you will be taking out either oncoming traffic or climbing up on the sidewalk hitting people or telephone poles.
Or let's take braking. What if the calculations for braking are wrong so at the last moment a driverless car in order to prevent an injury to someone outside the cars suddenly gives everyone riding in the car whiplash in order to prevent hitting someone?
Or, you are in a driverless car driving across the desert in a sandstorm (not a good idea). Because nothing is going to screw up computer chips like little pieces of dust and sand creeping into computer circuits in a sand storm. So, at this point unless somehow you have everything wrapped in a waterproof and sandproof kind of wrapping or something (which might also overheat in bad conditions too) you are sure to have some serious problems along the way of almost any kind.
