Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

At least until the next edge case...
Though really, I AM for self-driving cars. I just think the corpos should have to pay dearly for using the public infrastructure for beta testing and the public as guinnea pigs... Mostly the latter, because cars are a tiny fraction of wear and tear on roads.
I've never really thought of it that way, but that's an excellent point. The human trials have begun.
I mean where and how else would they test them? They're gonna need real-world beta testing at some point. Charging them for this only makes developing self-driving cars more expensive.
Not saying they should be barred from testing. They should just have to pay out the ass to privately benefit from public goods. Especially if they're putting normal people at risk. And they are.
