I suspect not, because there are always a bazillion more possibilities to be included, and as some point the “edge case file” will be larger than the “how to drive” file. (Making a point, not saying that’s how the memory is actually stored.)
In a parallel thread I linked to an article about Waymo’s increasing frustration with edge cases. Here: Another one on “Edge Cases”. Waymo, this time
And one of the examples given is a couple in the back seat where the car suddenly takes off into a construction lane, marked with orange cones, except they’re on the wrong side of the cones (weaving back and forth thru them, actually) accelerating to full speed in the closed lane, and with the passengers terrified and unable to stop the car from doing whatever it wanted. No kill switch, no control whatsoever.
If that happened to you, would you ever get in anybody’s Robotaxi again? The slogan “safer than a human driver” would be of little comfort knowing that at any moment the chips and electrons could conspire to do whatever they wanted, no other input of any sort allowed.
It took a while for people to get comfortable with elevators at all, and when “automatic elevators” came about in the 1920’s it took many years before people became comfortable without having a human operator for those, as well. (And those ride a predictable, never changing path!)
I’m sure acceptance is going to be different based on age group and so on, but I see lots of hurdles ahead. (And I’ll be that couple in the back seat of the errant Waymo was glad that it had Lidar before it ran into a construction truck.)
