"no human driver"? Really? Ever? Are you willing to bet on that assertion? Even if the human driver downs a bottle of vodka before driving?


well if we're going to play that game, what if the human suffers a medical emergency!

or what if they're driving a bus and they have to keep above 60 mph!

I guess it's my fault, I didn't list every single contingency possible...


Well yeah, it is. This is an edge case in self-driving cars, same as it could be an edge case for humans.


Probably the main point that the software should function at least as well as a non-impaired capable human still stands…
