When cars go "AI", 45% of the time you'll end up at the wrong destination having broken several traffic laws along the way.

municipalities are going to raise so much money by fining AI drivers.
the main question is who will pay? if AI states that you don't neet to pay attention, then the company should be liable for all damages and fines.
Does it? The article makes no claim the self-driving has any dependent on AI. Seems like GM is just hyping up their AI bloatware at the same time — though that would make me hesitate to get one of their cars.
Self-driving cars that can safely navigate traffic with pedestrians and human-driven automobiles are literally one of the marquee uses of machine learning.
They're closer to "AI" than chatbots and image fuzzlers ever will be.
Yeah, maybe I'm being more particular about terminology than I should, given how loosely it's used. I was saying the cars aren't using genAI / LLMs, which seem to be the crux of the other (undesirable to me) advertised future developments.
But of course ML / computer vision are expected as major parts of self driving.
Just checking, are you saying that AI isn't "intelligent". which is true.
I personally prefer to say machine learning, which is an umbrella term for lots of statistical models.
