Professor Koopman a good piece. I read your piece as arguing that what we need is commonsensical evaluation of AV driving, something I agree with. In my view there are lots of situations in which an AV drives 'safely' strictly speaking, in that it does not hit anything, but also not well. I have argued that having driving instructors evaluate the driving of self-driving cars would be a better option what we are currently doing. The fact that AVs don't have judgment seems like a deal breaker to me.... I have argued this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFhpraUkv_8
Thanks for the pointer to your video Erik, which I think is still as relevant as it was when I watched it a while back. I agree that much of driving is a social interaction, and historically computers have been terrible at social interactions. I think perhaps they might be able to fake it well enough to get by, but that is a topic that takes a lot longer to go into.
A really practical proposal, thank you.
