Deep dives
Human vs. Machine Control
Humans exhibit a significant bias towards controlling their actions while showing little tolerance for machine errors. This is evident in the context of autonomous vehicles, where a notable example involved an autonomous car navigating around a fallen scooter rider, showcasing its potential safety over human drivers, who often cause accidents due to errors. Despite the improved safety statistics surrounding autonomous vehicles, public skepticism persists, primarily due to the discomfort with relinquishing control. This fundamental need for control leads to a general mistrust of machines, highlighting the branding problem faced by automation technologies.
