Whereas in driving, you don't know, is this guy trying to turn left, or has he just forgotten to turn off his turn signal, or is he drunk, or is he changing the channel on his radio, or whatever it might be.

You've got to try and figure out the mental state, the intent of the other drivers to forecast the possible evolutions of their trajectories

And then you've got to figure out, okay, which is the trajectory for me that's going to be safest.

And those all interact with each other because the other driver is going to react to your trajectory and so on.

So, you know, they've got the classic merging onto the freeway problem where you're kind of racing a vehicle that's already on the freeway and you're going to pull ahead of them or you're going to let them go first and pull in behind.

And you get this sort of uncertainty about who's going first.

So all those kinds of things,

mean that you need a decision-making architecture that's very different from either a rule-based system or it seems to me kind of an end-to-end neural network system.

So just as AlphaGo is pretty good when it doesn't do any look ahead, but it's way, way, way, way better when it does, I think the same is going to be true for driving.

You can have a driving system that's pretty good

when it doesn't do any look ahead, but that's not good enough.

You know, and we've already seen multiple deaths caused by poorly designed machine learning algorithms that don't really understand what they're doing.

You can't pretend that you're invisible, right?

You're the invisible car.

It doesn't work that way.

Let's put it that way.

You have to display a certain amount of resoluteness.

You can't be too tentative.

The solutions then become...

Pretty complicated, right?
