AI Haven't A Clue · IS THIS THE END OF THE WORLD?! THE AI APOCALYPSE: WHAT’S TRUE, WHAT’S HYPE? · 16 Sep 2026 podcast

Why on earth would you send a human to go and work in some of these places where you could just send a robot and it's going to be much safer? matched

The more I was thinking about it, the one I kept coming back to was driving and this idea that if self-driving vehicles are so much safer than humans driving, and believe what you will from some of the research that's out there and who it's funded by, et cetera, et cetera, but some of it says that self-driving cars have no matched

95% fewer accidents than humans do. matched

If that was the case, why on earth are we still allowing John to come out of the king's arms on a Friday night after having a couple of pints and letting him make a decision on where he gets in the car and goes home? matched

Because an AI system is just not going to do that. matched

So of all the things that sort of AI could do better than humans, I did start to think about driving and whether that would be something... matched

Whether you could ban it completely is interesting, isn't it? matched

I think it could be kind of regulated or held back in a way. matched

And look, driving's sort of enjoyable. matched

I'm not sure how enjoyable driving through the middle of LA at rush hour or London or any big city is. matched

And you could certainly see self-driving cars sort of taking over in big urban spots, but sort of racing around the... matched

North Wales countryside in some sporty little thing. matched

There's lots of joy in that. matched

I'm not sure if you banned it, people would be particularly happy. matched

Horse riding was the thing I thought of. matched

That used to be a mode of transport that we used to use, and then we found something better. matched

People still ride horses, but it's for fun rather matched

the default and I wonder if we get to that place with self-driving cars it's like it makes way more sense because they can do it better than humans but you know humans can still go and drive things to answer matched

to your point matched

Here we go. matched
