[LINK] Spells Against Autonomy

[Bernard Robertson-Dunn]

I wonder if autonomous cars will be able to distinguish between

* Someone on the pavement waving to a friend on the opposite side of the
road;

* Someone waving at an occupant of the car, who they know;

* Someone waving to alert the car/driver of a pending danger;

* A policeman waving at a car/driver to make it stop.

Maybe roads will be segregated well apart from pedestrians, and cars
will run on tracks. Oh, I've just invented the single carriage,
autonomous train.

So much simpler than an unconstrained motor vehicle.
