However, artificial neural networks that are able to model the brain's pattern recognition and learning abilities do have the potential to match and even beat the human brain, at anything; the human brain is just a biological computer after all. Given enough complexity/power there's no reason a human brain couldn't be entirely artificially modelled. Artificial neural networks as powerful as that are still a long way off of course, but they have been used successfully to a lesser extend in many systems, though I suspect that most self-driving systems presently use rule-based algorithms for the most part.

Computers don't get tired/lose concentration/behave irrationally - those human characteristics alone will outweigh the occasional benefits of superior intelligent reactions when it comes to overall accident statistics, which is why this is only going to head in one direction in the long run.

Nicely put Mark.
"Auto Pilot" is a tool to be used, not abused. When clouting a chisel with a hammer you do not let go of the chisel, or the hammer either. Hope that makes sense!!! I'd better go to bed, too much sun this evening. I have wired up the second set of my foggers in the water effect and the neighbour came knocking on the door bell to warn me that my water effect was on fire.
