    That is by far the most likely scenario. Hell it’s already happening with the AI we do have. Teslas driving into walls, facial recognition mistaking an innocent person for a criminal (mentioned in the article).

    Doomsday science fiction is fun to toy with but it usually involves a lot of hand waving.

      To be fair, people (on average) are a LOT worse at driving than a computer. I’d bet the percentage of humans driving into walls is much higher than self driving vehicles.

        In many scenarios you’re right, but there are a good number of scenarios where computers are far worse drivers. Humans handle the visual noise from snow or rain far better right now, for instance. We also handle certain edge case scenarios better, like knowing to stop the car when someone is screaming because they’re being dragged.
