1. Can robots do what humans can?
I personally believe that Robots can only do as much as we humans decide how to program them. Robots have the ability to make almost no errors when asked to complete a task and will always follow a command without a question. However robots can't feel or have any type of emotion so I think that is to their disadvantage compared to humans.
2. What do you think of a robotic car?
I'm not a fan of this because I believe driving is something that should only be done by humans. We will become to dependent on this any many people in a time of malfunction of the self driven vehicle won't know how to respond properly, which will likely cause serious injury or death.
3. Who is more likely to make errors - robots or humans?
Robots are only as smart as they humans who program them but overall humans are more likely to make errors based on times of uncertainty, forgetting a method used or simply making human error.

I slightly agree with you. Also, having cars drive themselves also takes all the fun out if it. Sure it can help the disabled, but those cars will not drive like a human in city traffic. It will be more cautious and cause more traffic in that case.
ReplyDeleteI am with you 100% on the driverless cars debate. A robot does not have the same potential as human instinct.
ReplyDeleteI agree on the part where you said robots are only as smart as a human can make them. That's really the best thing we give them all the power I feel
