U.S. tells Google computers can qualify as drivers

U.S. vehicle safety regulators have said the artificial intelligence system piloting a self-driving Google car could be considered the driver under federal law, a major step toward ultimately winning approval for autonomous vehicles on the roads.

is this a big deal? I thought they already were driving

This is the beginning of the end. Insurance companies will hike premiums for people who decide to "manually drive" instead of using computer "automated drivers". Eventually everyone will use automated drivers except for the rich elite who we'll all look down on for "recklessly endangering lives by driving manually"

They're "driving" with a human behind the wheel. Your quote appears to say that computers could drive with no human in the vehicle.
I'd say that's big. And really fricking scary.

I don't think fully autonomously.
There was a "driver" in the car at all times that would presumably bear legal definitions of driver.
This ruling means that the computer fits the bill legally.
Aka, you don't legally need to watch the road to possibly "step in" the government will accept the notion that a computer can fully fulfill that role.

I don't trust a fully automated system. Is an automated cop car gonna pit maneuver me if I am out joy riding. Doubtful. I will just put the pedal down.

I know we talk about it from time to time on the OT and more so in other websites but if you read up on it and pay attention to the advances being made right now, thiings are getting very very interesting in the field of AI

I have a feeling autonomous vehicles will be the end of individually owned cars. A whole lot less parking lots, service stations etc.

Almost 34k deaths per year caused by traffic accidents.
I welcome computer automation in motor vehicles.

Could this be the end of auto insurance?
