"Google is working on self-driving cars, and they seem to work. People are so bad at driving cars that computers don't have to be that good to be much better"
- Marc Andreessen
About this Quote
This quote by Marc Andreessen talks with the possibility of self-driving automobiles and the present state of human driving. Andreessen is suggesting that Google's self-driving vehicles are already working which they do not need to be perfect to be better than human chauffeurs. This suggests that human motorists are not great at driving autos, and that computer systems can quickly outmatch them. This is likely as a result of the reality that computers can process data and also choose much faster than humans, as well as can be configured to follow the customary practices much more precisely. This can result in a future where self-driving autos are the standard, and human vehicle drivers are a thing of the past.
