We who browse HN like the idea of self-driving cars, but does anyone have a nuanced perspective on their usefulness? I don't know much about AI compared to many here. It has been said that things which humans learn at very young age are hard to automate (identifying things you see, walking, social things) while things we learn as adults are easy to automate (accounting, telegraphs, file cabinets).

Car driving definitely contains elements that we learn as kids (seeing things in motion, identifying what is a human and what is a rock) while some things are learned as adults (what does that sign mean, how to count KM/H, how transmission works).

Are we really close to autonomous vehicles on the streets?
