A big win for Google's self-driving vehicle program. Reuters has published a letter from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which has not yet been released, and says that high-speed vehicles technologyGoogle's AIs can be described as guides – a distinction that until now has only been held by humans.
The win could end the red tape that has slowed Google and other major companies preparing driverless vehicles, as it essentially recognizes that AI has the same sensitivity to driving and can operate a car as a real person would. guide.
On the other hand, however, the National Road Safety Administration of the US has not set the necessary conditions for road safety.
"The next question is whether and how Google could certify that the self-driving system meets a standard that was developed and designed to be applied to a vehicle with a human driver," said the National Road Safety Administration.
So until there is a more comprehensive approach to what the requirements for unmanned, federated and state-of-the-art vehicles must meet, Google and its competitors are looking for solutions.
One of them is to draw cars with human intervention capabilities, although then there would be the question of whether human intervention would help the AI system make safe decisions on the road.
Worried about Google finding the solution? The ingenuity of the company (perhaps a little entanglement) should leave no doubt. Besides, there is money…
