I've cross-examined the NHTSA people who are responsible for this.
They will admit to me it can't work.
It won't work right.
I had a woman who testified that there are about a billion car trips a day.
if the success rate of this technology is 99.9%, that means there's going to be a million cars that won't start on any given day.
And I pointed out to her, well, it's not the car not starting because the technology actually stops you mid-trip.
The car's going to, I guess it's going to pull you over.
On the highway?
On the highway.
You could be a mom with kids because you swerved a deer and then you got in the breakdown lane because an ambulance went by.
How does the car know?
By the way, it's going to have to know what road you're on.
The technology they're proposing will watch your face.
It'll look for your gaze.
It'll look at your pupils.
It'll look at your posture.
It'll look where your hands are and judge whether you are competent to drive or not.
My question that I've asked over and over, I can't get an answer to, is if the dashboard, if the AI in the dashboard and the cameras in your dashboard is the judge, the jury, and the executioner, and you get pulled over on the side of the road and you're a mom with a minivan full of kids, how do you appeal your sentence?
Who's going to start the car back up?
Do you press a button and plead with another AI?
