A fiery Tesla crash near Houston killed two men, leading to a debate over the car's Autopilot mode. John Dvorak argues that self-driving technology will always be flawed because software can never achieve 100% accuracy, similar to errors in OCR technology.
AI Vulnerabilities, Stop Sign Vandalism Research
Research into tricking AI systems reveals that simple stickers on stop signs can cause autonomous vehicles to misidentify them as speed limit signs. This vulnerability poses a significant risk for the future of autonomous trucking, as vandals or disgruntled workers could easily confuse vehicle sensors. The hosts argue that these edge cases prove the technology is not yet ready for widespread deployment.
