A matched case-control analysis of autonomous vs human-driven vehicle accidents

Published: 18 June 2024

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-48526-4

"The analysis suggests that accidents of vehicles equipped with Advanced Driving Systems generally have a lower chance of occurring than Human-Driven Vehicles in most of the similar accident scenarios. However, accidents involving Advanced Driving Systems occur more frequently than Human-Driven Vehicle accidents under dawn/dusk or turning conditions, which is 5.25 and 1.98 times higher, respectively."

tl;dr "The authors highlighted two significant negative outcomes for level 4 AVs. It found they were over five times more likely to be involved in an accident at dawn and dusk. They were relatively bad at navigating turns as well, with the odds of an accident during a turn almost doubled compared to those for human-driven vehicles."

Very cool! But maybe change copies to copy.

In my experience, copy is used the same way as code. And just as you probably wouldn't say, "I changed the codes for the three apps," most people wouldn't say, "I rewrote the copies for the three websites."

[Cromulent] was introduced in "Lisa the Iconoclast," an episode of the Fox animated television series The Simpsons that first aired on February 18, 1996. Coinage of the word has been attributed to the television writer David X. Cohen by Bill Oakley, one of the series' producers, in a commentary to the DVD release of the series.

I'm more concerned about fundamental privacy issues, such as so-called "data onboarding," in which Facebook (and others) helps marketers connect your online identity with your offline identity. That's where we need more transparency -- and perhaps more regulation.
