this Jim guy is like your smart engineering friend who thinks every problem can be well quantified and solved without realizing actually how difficult it is w.r.t. autonomous driving. it's funny to see that kinds of misconception because in his own career he's been working on very well quantified problems and is quite successful at it, without having to grapple with the difficulties of ill-posed problems and project well-formedness onto something like autonomous driving, which is hugely hairy problem of cognition in interacting with multiple agents each with their own minds.<br>and it is almost impossible to make people like these to change their mind other than having them working on the problem and realize how difficult it actually is xD
