谷歌自动驾驶汽车会比人类司机更安全

在本周的会议召开之前，辛普森发表了一系列资讯稿批评谷歌的自动驾驶汽车。他担心，谷歌会收集车主的数据，盘剥人们更多的隐私。他注意到，已经有11宗事故(算上最近的两次剐蹭，共有13宗)都涉及谷歌的所谓“自动汽车。他提到了一些在他看来属于技术缺陷的问题，例如，不能理解另一辆车中司机做出的手势。

Finally, Simpson noted that Google — and Google alone — envisions cars that have no steeringwheels or brakes, cars where everyone is a passenger. Simpson views this as Google’s hubris,pointing out that other car companies view self-driving technology as a complement, notreplacement, for the driver. “We think there always needs to be the ability of a human to takeover if need be, he told me. Having looked into it more closely, I’ve come to the oppositeconclusion.

最后，辛普森提到，谷歌——只有谷歌——构想的是一种没有方向盘、没有刹车的汽车，所有人都是乘客。辛普森认为，这是谷歌的傲慢。他指出，其他汽车公司认为，自动驾驶技术对司机是一种补充，而不是替代。“我们认为，让人类在必要时控制车辆，这一点总是需要的，他告诉我。在更仔细地研究过这一问题之后，我得出了相反的结论。

Google’s effort to build a self-driving car is part of the division called Google X, led by a scientistwith the too perfect name of Astro Teller. The goal of Google X is to attempt “moonshots —efforts that require a radical solution that, if they succeed, would solve a huge problem (whilemaking a nice return for Google, of course). The big problem self-driving cars could help solve,said Teller in a recent speech, is the “1.2 million people who die every year in car accidents.
