How do you train a neural network to recognize road signs and take appropriate action? Obviously a human driver isn't going to stop doing 60 on the highway because some schmuck is holding a sign. But a computer designed to hit the brakes when it detects a red octagon doesn't know what "appropriate" action is. In a way it's immeasurably worse than a human driver.
So THAT'S why I have to click all these fucking vehicles and street signs.
Things like pic related will pose an interesting challenge for them.

car pileup ensues >15 angry guys step our of their car and beat of the "prankster"
Jose Harris
Are you implying that idiot pranksters would not exist because there would likely be repercussions? Given the ubiquity of idiot pranksters, and the existence of repercussions they already face, I think your positions in untenable.
Hunter Long
Dude, I somehow never put two and two together. Captcha feels slightly less pointless now.
Ayden Brown
just wait til the kids realise they can troll driverless cars by just running across the street infront of them.
anyone got info on how an ai would deal with the trolley problem?
Jackson Reyes
The old word captchas were for training software how to read books. We've been giving Google training data for at least a decade.

You can also throw bags full of shit from bridges onto the passing cars yet it has not been a major issue so far.
Adrian Russell
Major? No. But it or similar happens -- every year you read about some moron dropping a heavy object off an overpass and killing somebody.
But with driverless cars you have the added shit-potential posed by pic related plus some obvious games Turrurrists could play.
I am not anti-driverless cars, but it is probably worth considering how to address those points.
Daniel Walker
Something that might be more analogous to fucking with the AI of self driving cars is writing computer viruses, or the /b/ level l33r hax0ring that is closer to the mental level of holding up a sign to confuse a car.
And those, particularly the former, are in fact more serious problems.
