Why have Self-Driving Vehicle companies made relatively little progress compared to expectations? It seems like autonomous driving in the real world might be nearly AGI-complete, and so it might be a good benchmark to measure AGI progress against. Is the deployment of SDCs being held up to a higher degree of safety than humans holding back progress in the field? Billions have been invested over the past decade across multiple companies with a clear model to operate on. Should we expect to see AGI before SDCs are widely available? I don’t think anyone in the field of autonomous vehicles think they will be widely deployed in difficult terrain or inclement weather conditions in five years.
a few reasons, but a major one is that they’re seeking strongly safe purpose-focused ai with strong understanding of the dynamics of the world around it. They’ve been pushing the hardest on some key bottlenecks, including some key bottlenecks to present-day model safety, as a result, and are far ahead of LLMs in some interesting ways.
