LONDON —
You're on the wrong street.
This is basically some self-argument.
The booster driving the car has fallen back in the months after the first pedestrian death was attributed to the self-driving car, as there is growing concern that AI can truly
The world is driving farther than many predicted a few years ago.
This sentence reminds us of Steve Jobs's famous defense of the iPhone 4 antenna defect --

These technical experts say the problem is not self.
Driving doesn't work because people's behavior is unpredictable.

Driving a car to correctly identify and avoid pedestrians crossing the road has become a tricky problem.
In Arizona, a woman was killed by a car while riding her bike across the street outside the designated crosswalk at night.
The incident is still under investigation, but a preliminary report from the federal security regulator said the woman had been detected by sensors in the car, but its decision was --
Let the software discount the sensor data and conclude that this may be a false positive.

However, it is not clear whether these two methods can operate outside of the designated area or whether there is no safe driver who can take over in an emergency.
At the same time, other initiatives are losing momentum.
Elon Musk has shelved plans for Tesla to cross the United States. S.
Uber has cut one.
Focus on truck projects for self-driving cars.
Daimler Trucks, owned by Daimler, said it would take at least five years for commercial driverless trucks.
Others, including Musk, had previously predicted that such vehicles would be road vehicles. ready by 2020.
As these schedules go by, self-driving supporters like Ng say there is a shortcut to getting self-affirmation
Driving a car on the street faster: convince pedestrians not to behave too unstable.
If they use crosswalk with contextual clues
Road signs and parking lights-
Software is more likely to recognize them.
But for others, Ng presents the fact that today's technology is simply unable to achieve itself.
Drive the car according to the original idea.
Gary Marcus, a professor of psychology at New York University, said: "The artificial intelligence we really need has not yet arrived . " He studies human and artificial intelligence.
Ng, he said, "just redefining goals and making work easier," if the only way we can achieve a safe self
Driving a car is to completely isolate the car from human drivers and pedestrians. we already have the technology: train.

Driving a car is to eliminate traffic deaths. Now [Ng]
Is it said that as long as all people are trained to change their behavior, they will eliminate traffic deaths?
What just happened?

Driving car company Waymo ends the Waymo test pricing of alphabet in the legal battlefield, and the team working with public transport company believes that humans always change their behavior according to new technologies, especially the mode of transportation.
"If you look at the appearance of the railway, most people have learned not to stand in front of the train on the rail," he said . ".
Ng also pointed out that people have learned that school buses may stop often and that when they do, children may cross the road in front of the bus, so they are more cautious in driving. Self-
Driving a car is no different, he said.
In fact, in most parts of the United States, it is a crime to cross the road. S.
According to Peter Norton, because automakers were heavily lobbying in early 1920 to largely block strict speed limits and other regulations that could affect car sales, A history professor at the University of Virginia, who wrote a book on the subject.
Therefore, there is a precedent for regulating pedestrian behavior to make way for new technologies.
While Ng is probably the most prominent self
Driving supporters are not alone in calling for training humans and vehicles.
"There should be appropriate educational programs to familiarize people with these vehicles and the way they interact and use them," said Shuchisnigdha Deb . " Researcher at Advanced Vehicle Systems Center, Mississippi State University. The U. S.
In its latest guidance on self-driving cars, the Ministry of Transport has highlighted the need for such consumer education.

Driving car companies can use it to compare the lessons to public awareness campaigns launched in Germany and Austria in their 1960 s after a series of road-crossing deaths.
These efforts helped reduce the number of pedestrian deaths in Germany from more than 6,000 in 1970 to less than 500 in 2016, the last year of data.
It is understandable that the industry is eager not to be ignored.
Load the burden on pedestrians.
Both Uber and Waymo said in an email statement that their goal is to develop themselves.
Driving a car that can handle the status quo of the world does not depend on changing human behavior.
One of the challenges these companies and others face is that driverless cars are so novel now that pedestrians don't always act like they do with regular cars.
Some people just can't resist the urge to test the artificial response of this technology.
Waymo owned by Wayinc.
, Often meet pedestrians who deliberately "prank" cars, constantly step on them, walk away, and then back in front of them to hinder their progress.
People seem to think that the design of driverless cars is particularly cautious, so this prank is worth taking risks.

Driverless cars will become less attractive over time, and people may not be likely to prank.
At the same time, the industry is discussing what steps companies should take to make people aware of cars and their intentions. Drive.

AI also took the lead in using an external LED-
The display, similar to the display used by many city buses to display destination or route numbers, can convey the intention of the car to humans.
For example, a car parked on a crosswalk may display a message: "Wait for you to cross.
"Uber has taken the idea further and applied for a patent for a system that will include a variety of flashing external signage and holographic photos projected in front of the car in order to work with human drivers and pedestrians
Google also filed a patent for its external signage.
Newman of Oxbotica says he likes the idea of this kind of external information and unique sound --
Just like the beep sound when a large vehicle is backing up --

Debb says her research shows that people want external features, as well as communication or warning of a certain sound.
But so far, apart from driving.
Ai, the cars used by these companies in road testing do not include such modifications.
It is also unclear how pedestrians or other human drivers communicate their intentions to themselves.
Driving the vehicle, Deb said, is also necessary in order to avoid accidents in the future.

There is no ability to analyze anything that happens in the box.
In the end, better computer vision systems and artificial intelligence can solve this problem.
