Count me out on ever contributing to a project like this. I really don't want to be a test case.
Most open source projects have a disclaimer like this. You don't want to be responsible for the usage of whichever random programmer either.

Re: Apollo – An open autonomous driving platform
#32Autonomous driving based purely on machine learning from vision is scary. Machine learning is, after all, a statistical method. It's going to do really great most of the time, and really badly once in a while.

#33I'd imagine this could work on a small fleet of miniature cars (rc size?). A model town/city could be built with various obstacles for training a large amount of the ai, I would think.

The exact same can be said about human drivers. Why do we demand that autonomous driving is 100% safe? I would be completely fine with autonomous cars that sometimes crash, but are still less likely to do so than with human drivers.
We accept that human drivers kill thousands upon thousands of people. We won't tolerate deaths from automation even in the single digits. That may not be rational but it's also unlikely to change.

Worldwide stats will be far more than that. We've accepted it, haven't we?

#40Awesome. Now to just get a couple LIDAR cameras...
