I basically agree with this. But if you apply what are described in the post, it’s reveals a lot about why we are not there yet. If you pit a human driver against any of the described autonomous cars, they will just be lots of situations, where the human performs better. And I don’t need to run this experiment, in order to cash out its implications. I think when people talk about fully autonomous cars, then they have implicitly something in mind where the autonomous cars at least as good as human. Thinking about an experiment, that you could run here, makes this implicit assumption explicit. Which is think can be useful. It’s one of the tools that you can use to make you definition more precise along the way.
