Will robots take over humanity? Someday, but not today

The Mercedes seems to be a smart car: it can steer on the highway while I drink coffee, parks itself, and can even dig itself out of the sand if it gets stuck on a wild beach

But pisses off periodically one moment: when you leave on the rear, the car sharply presses the brake to the floor and stops with a grinding and crunching, as if hit a kangaroo. The effect is epic: pedestrians in a radius of 20 meters jump up to the ceiling and scattered

Sent the car to the car service, and was shocked by the response. The manager wrote: we checked everything, the car behaves correctly, it’s a feature, not a bug! It turns out that the artificial intelligence decides that a pedestrian can jump on the car and activates emergency braking. Which, of course, is commendable, but could you: a) do it quieter? b) comment on the screen somehow?

What makes you happy/disappointed about artificial intelligence?
