I&#x27;m not convinced that the distinction between &quot;situations requiring thinking&quot; and &quot;boring situations&quot; is that strong. You seem to be implying that self-driving cars will probably be worse than humans at things like negotiating through city traffic (where this accident apparently occurred), but is there any evidence of that?<p>It&#x27;s true that most deaths and serious accidents occur on highways, where human factors like boredom and sleepiness are probably significant. But humans also have a heck of a lot of fender benders like this incident, and a lot of the ones I have seen weren&#x27;t exactly situations where &quot;a lot of thinking&quot; was necessary. People are texting and rear-end the person in front of them, or underestimate how much room they have to switch lanes between two cars, or other things like that. I don&#x27;t see why these situations are uniquely difficult for AI to solve. In fact, they seem like very apt problems for computers to solve.
