Computers will make much better drivers than humans. Putting humans in charge of a couple of tons of metal isn’t really a great idea, there are some terrible drivers about.And people still think unmanned cars are a good idea?
That part is absolutely true. However, the ultimate default safety net will be to stop the vehicles. There will be regular gridlock when situations arise that the processors cannot resolve, whereas a human could in milliseconds.Computers will make much better drivers than humans.

Exactly.How is it any different than the millions of other deaths involving machinery?!
It sounds like this.so a fella was killed when looking at a machine that was known to be faulty, and we are surprised that the faulty machine pretty much did what we knew it would do… sounds like it’s the humans at fault here.
Absolute failure of safe systems of work, the machine should have been isolated prior to inspection. Same people claiming this as the end of days will cite health and safety gone mad everytime someone steps in to stop them loosing an appendage.
What race was the robot ?Robot claiming mental health issues.
Pinned him against a conveyor belt and crushed his face and chest ffs horrible that like
No, just unwomanned cars.And people still think unmanned cars are a good idea?
Is he still alive?I was once inside a robot cell in Asia when someone removed my 'tag' that was on display to show that I was inside.
It isn’t, if the correct safety protocols had been in place or if in place followed I’m confident the poor bloke wouldn’t be dead.How is it any different than the millions of other deaths involving machinery?!
Exactly right, but it will be spun by newspapers (and the online equivalents) as "Fear of AI" to get the clicks, reads, views and hits.It sounds like this.
Although people are worried about AI at the moment, there is a very good chance that this was a standard robot without any intelligence.
Think of Big Trac: Move forward 3, turn left 90 degrees, move forward 2, etc
It likely had a few sensors to detect when the crate was near but that is about it. I've been experimenting with a wheeled robot I made and it is surrounded by range sensors. It will run independent on the floor for ages and I've told it to veer slightly to the left if it detects it might collide with an object it has just detected on the right. It doesn't learn, it doesn't make decisions, just follows a set program, if then else....
So how's that any different from millions of others where the correct safety protocols weren't followed?!It isn’t, if the correct safety protocols had been in place or if in place followed I’m confident the poor bloke wouldn’t be dead.
Because some people don't understand what AI is and of course spreading fear of new robot overlords is nice click bait and that is all that counts.Exactly right, but it will be spun by newspapers (and the online equivalents) as "Fear of AI" to get the clicks, reads, views and hits.
ControversialNo, just unwomanned cars.
