Sublogic also created A2-3D1, which was a fun, but very rudimentary, 3D animation package for the Apple II:

But the article explains that human-like AI triggers a "person perception" process similar to the one that we use when we meet people.


A matched case-control analysis of autonomous vs human-driven vehicle accidents

Published: 18 June 2024

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-48526-4

"The analysis suggests that accidents of vehicles equipped with Advanced Driving Systems generally have a lower chance of occurring than Human-Driven Vehicles in most of the similar accident scenarios. However, accidents involving Advanced Driving Systems occur more frequently than Human-Driven Vehicle accidents under dawn/dusk or turning conditions, which is 5.25 and 1.98 times higher, respectively."


Unfortunately, that seems to include data regarding Tesla's FSD function, which renders it useless for actual comparisons between human driving and responsible implementations of self driving technology.


Nitpick, but Tesla does not yet have full self driving technology. They have a beta which is "supervised" by human drivers. Repeating the myth that they have self driving perpetuates the misconception that Tesla's marketing has pushed in the past.


tl;dr "The authors highlighted two significant negative outcomes for level 4 AVs. It found they were over five times more likely to be involved in an accident at dawn and dusk. They were relatively bad at navigating turns as well, with the odds of an accident during a turn almost doubled compared to those for human-driven vehicles."


You're not summarizing if you grab the negative data points and remove the positive ones.

They are good at: going straight, not killing people, staying on the road, entering lanes, rain

They are bad at: dawn/dusk, turns

Very cool! But maybe change copies to copy.

In my experience, copy is used the same way as code. And just as you probably wouldn't say, "I changed the codes for the three apps," most people wouldn't say, "I rewrote the copies for the three websites."


> you probably wouldn't say, "I changed the codes for the three apps,"

Unless you’re - shudder - a data scientist

Muskoxen misophonia!
