Meanwhile, human driving skill seems to be getting worse over time
AI has become another buzzword
that’s by design.
See also: automobiles. Automobiles and smartphones certainly have strong cases for how utilitarian they are. They are both genuinely very useful.
But the expectation that everyone has one, along with them becoming practically a requirement for most people, has turned them into a dependency and a means of control. Some people can manage to forgo them, but you almost have to build your life around doing so.
The smartphone has effectively turned into a leash.
I absolutely do not trust that an “off” phone is actually off, unless the battery is removed (assuming it can be).
I’ve been driving AEB equipped cars for almost 10 years, on 2 different vehicles, and have never had a false brake event triggered. I have had multiple false warnings (without braking) on the older vehicle and no false warnings on the newer one.
I know anecdotes are not data though. I actually wouldn’t mind seeing something from NHTSA or IIHS on this to see how much of a problem it is.
