I think we'll see more of this as AI matures.

It's getting more and more difficult to distinguish between human and AI drivers.



Next thing you know they'll be cursing at you using speakers


I'm looking forward to the first full-on high speed police pursuit of an autonomous Waymo through downtown San Francisco ... (== turing complete).


missed opportunity for "touring complete"


This sounds like a great premise for a video game not unlike Crazy Taxi, but from the perspective of a highway trooper who needs to chase buggy autonomous cabs.


This was more or less a series of side quests in Cyberpunk.


Alan Touring: Full Self-Racing


including the passenger trying to cancel the fare and the car saying "I'm sorry Dave I can't allow you to do that"


"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" is the actual quote from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).

I also love the scene where Dave takes Hal apart. We've always called the first computation the Macaulay computer algebra system completed "Hal's Song".


Kitbashing HAL 9000 and Star Wolf?

>I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

>Can't let you do that, Star Fox!"

Screw it, lets throw in the Car Fax fox as a state trooper, and I'm pretty sure we have a reasonable starting point for a video game worldbuild.

Call it Car Fox.


or maybe a Johnny Cab from Total Recall..

I use the "things hardly ever..." quote daily


Complete with Tesla Cybertrucks from the 1980s.


Do we know when Delamain gets created ?


"YOU SON OF A BITCH, LEARN HOW TO DR-- Sorry, that's on me, let's try a different topic."


At least when a human is irrationally angry at the fact that I don't have a legal place to drive they just honk and I know to be on the lookout for road rage and other shenanigans. If a car trained on that data is likely to behave absurdly then I can't protect myself _unless_ it has the loudspeaker function to prepare me for its misdeads.


plenty of material available for them already:

Admittedly, I don’t know what Waymo is (or Cruise for that matter) but if someone told me it was “Uber but they don’t rate their drivers” it would still sound about right as far as human drivers go.


Turing syndrome strikes again
