Programming safety into self-driving cars: Better AI algorithms for semi-autonomous vehicles

For decades, researchers in artificial intelligence, or AI, worked on specialized problems, developing theoretical concepts and workable algorithms for various aspects of the field. Computer vision, planning and reasoning experts all struggled independently in areas that many thought would be easy to solve, but which proved incredibly difficult.

Still won't find me willingly in one and doing my best to avoid one on the road.

2. Driving is easy

Being a good and safe driver on the other hand is arguably the most complex and difficult chore the average person accomplishes, probably where that "incredibly difficult" part comes from.

I rather suspect that the robots will be much better drivers than all but the best of human drivers and eventually better than everyone. When you realize the difference in time scale between a computer and a human it's really inevitable that sufficiently powerful computers and sophisticated enough algorithms can accomplish what humans can't.
