This is a good example of the type issues "full self driving" is likely to encounter once it is widely deployed.

The real shortcoming of "AI" is that it is almost entirely data driven. There is little to no real cognition or understanding or judgment involved.

The human brain can instantly and instinctively extrapolate from what it already knows in order to evaluate and make judgments in new situations it has never seen before. A child can recognize that someone is hiding under a box even if they have never actually seen anyone do it before. Even a dog could likely do the same.

AI; as it currently exists, just doesn't do this. It's all replication and repetition. Like any other tool, AI can be useful. But there is no "intelligence" --- it's basically as dumb as a hammer.
