Sad news story about a driver that was killed by his own car door (while in a drive-thru), provides cautionary insights about the advent of AI-based self-driving cars. Here's the insider look.
Usually, the food server says not to worry and that I shouldn’t be bothered to try and grab up the fallen items. The person hands over another set and the matter is concluded. You can oftentimes see fallen debris when you are waiting in line and ready to approach the food-providing window. Obviously, these same handoff issues occur with some frequency.
Darned if my car door slightly banged against the wall. Scratching my car for a few packets of secret sauce was not very astute on my part. Also, I then observed that a pole was situated at the window. I hadn’t especially noticed this before. Upon reflection though, I realize that likely others had tried to open their car doors and the manager of the eatery realized it would be prudent to put a post there.
The normal course of things is that you keep your car in Drive the entire time of the drive-thru trek. This catches my eye due to the potential danger of the person forgetting that they have their car in reverse. You probably know what I mean by this. The driver is so anxious about backing up that once they get aligned, they merely have their foot on their brakes. Meanwhile, the reverse or backup lights on the rear of their car are still illuminated.
He opened his car door and started to reach out to retrieve the payment card that was now laying on the pavement. Unfortunately, as he made this outreach, his foot must have come off the brake pedal.Skip past the next few paragraphs if you are already queasy about what occurred. I suppose none of us expects though to somehow get pinned if their foot does slide off the brake pedal. You would likely assume that you could immediately lean back into your car seat and step on the brakes. It just doesn’t seem feasible that you would be unable to prevent the car from moving forward and at the same time get utterly jammed in the partially open car door passageway.
There is not yet a true self-driving car at Level 5, which we don’t yet even know if this will be possible to achieve, and nor how long it will take to get there. You are the responsible party for the driving actions of the vehicle, regardless of how much automation might be tossed into a Level 2 or Level 3.For Level 4 and Level 5 true self-driving vehicles, there won’t be a human driver involved in the driving task.One aspect to immediately discuss entails the fact that the AI involved in today’s AI driving systems is not sentient.
Yes, by definition, that would seem to be the case and we would not ever have that kind of an occurrence.There could be passengers inside the self-driving car. Those passengers might ask the AI driving system to route the self-driving car through a drive-thru. I’ve repeatedly predicted that this is going to be a commonly requested driving task and that the programming of the AI driving systems will inevitably and inexorably need to include this particular driving chore .
You are absolutely right about that. But realize that the AI needs to be programmed for that purpose. It is either directly programmed by AI developers or might be “taught” via the use of Machine Learning and Deep Learning . The obvious solution is that the moment a passenger opens the car door, the AI driving system shifts into Park and stops the autonomous vehicle from moving ahead. Some would even insist that the car doors can never be opened by a passenger unless the AI driving system allows the person to do so.
