However, when I see the latest Ford truck self-driving commercial, with the driver totally disconnected from the road while towing a trailer, it makes me very nervous. For example, our lane centering turns off when in a construction zone where there are no lane markers, and the system cannot see a flagman or police officer giving you hand signal directions. How does the Ford system account for these very common situations?
AI will be able to "see" and adapt faster then humans. It ain't ready yet, but it's coming. And sooner than we think.
