[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 95340, member: 1632"] There in lies the rub. Having worked in the area between the software provider and the company implementing its use. Dealing with developers and the end user, doing user acceptance testing, developers write code and invariably in correcting one problem will break something else, inadvertently, somewhere else. Developers also live in a perfect world and are human. Many times I have been given software to test where a specific problem has been identified, the developers have been tasked to correct it, and failed miserably. They have been told what the operating environment and how the customer will use the product. Only to totally ignore the instructions and say "well in my environment it works and mine is set up differently, they need to copy mine" knowing full well that isn't going to happen. Not all situations and circumstances can be broken down into lines of code. The decision to hit the bus queue or the baby that has wandered into the street or drive off the cliff and kill myself and my passengers, will get different results from different people. What do you program into the autonomous vehicle? I do not understand the desire to relinquish control of the vehicle to "code". I am comfortable with relinquishing control of a vehicle to another person because I can identify with a person. I trust that up to a point that the individual controlling has values similar to my own. Not so a machine. Steven [/QUOTE]
