We will see totally autonomous HGV`s very soon, in our life time.
Humans are no longer fit for purpose.That depends on how old you Are!!!
Something humans have that computers don’t, gut instinct. How many times have you looked at a vehicle and just known they’re going to do something stupid? Personally, I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve eased off, changed lanes or whatever because I’ve not trusted someone. Usually, I’m proven right.
Or more technically, it is the ability to conceive the goals of the activity, and devise and implement the practical steps which make ends meet, which humans (individually and collectively) possess and machines lack.
It is only by having an understanding about the goals of driving, and a familiarity with the steps of driving, that one is put in a position to perceive that another driver is driving badly or lacks competence.
Computers are just complex abacuses, a tool that humans devise, and decide when and where to apply. Like the Gatling gun.
