> The problem with automation is small problems have a tendency to combine into massive emergent problems once you start scaling your fleet up.

Not in this case, no. Every driver has a small problem. Each ai driver is just another driver, replacing some driver.

Unless the ai driver problem is not small but actually quite big, I don't see how automation economics would worsen the situation. On the contrary, them all being identical and automated makes fixing the small problems much more viable.




Except Humans are dynamic and the AI is pre-programmed. So Humans can _react_ to emergent conditions whereas AI is completely subsumed by it.

There's a good hint here that when Waymo cars "break down" a remote Human operator takes over. If your view is correct, this could never work.


In light of whats happening right this moment with AI/GPTs, I am not sure if you are being ironic or not.

If so, well played.
