Tesla provided the statistics in their press release. but still technology can make mistakes, we all know it isn't perfect. Yeah um, no one's arguing otherwise? Is Tesla to be completely trusted though? I wonder if they change the statistics to promote their product.

Thank you. I will definitely take a look at that link. I could also just post the statistics picture.

Yes so obviously that shows that highway deaths are going down but how is that necessarily related to tesla's autonomous cars?

It shows that the introduction of autonomous driving is just as safe, or even safer, than manual driving. And it shows that Tesla didn't fake the statistics in their press release.

Yes I see that tesla didn't fake their statistics, but I still don't see how they can prove that the technology in autonomous driving is as advanced as the human mind in areas like quick decision making and judgement.

but I still don't see how they can prove that the technology in autonomous driving is as advanced as the human mind in areas like quick decision making and judgement. Well, for starters the statistics speak for themselves. Right now, the autopilot, when used correctly, increases driver safety. But it's not supposed to be as advanced as the human mind, It's not built as a direct competitor to humans, and so it doesn't need to be more advanced in subjective situations, like judgment. The cars AI is given set parameters that it can't deviate from, and so within the limited field of driving, under the ideal circumstances, it can perform as well as a human driver. Areas like quick decision making is an area where all AIs outperform humans though. Computers simply "think" much faster than we can.

That is true, computers are of course faster than humans. However judgement and decision making are an essential part of driving and computers can't make conscious well-thought out decisions.

I'll say they can't make the same kind decisions humans can.
For example, if a human sees a child or dog on the road, you break hard, based on the emotional response that you really don't want to hit a child or dog. An AI would only detect an obstacle, and break accordingly, while also factoring in the current speed and distance to the obstacle.
That's pretty how much an auto break feature works in any car that has it.
For full autonomous driving, like the Google car, smaller judgments, like waiting to let a pedestrian pass, when to give way etc. factor in much more. But Google's cars are, like it was mentioned in the article i linked earlier, programmed to be timid. They will, at all times, act like a very careful student driver. They won't speed, they won't be aggressive in traffic. So in that sense, I'd say the car makes very good judgments.
