I got this from one of my high tech friends. Any idea what the problem might be from a PCT perspective?

Don’t really need to read much farther than that.

BN: Don’t really need to read much farther than that.
RM: I don’t think the building up of an internal map was a problem… What struck me about the article was that these "self driving"cars have very good “low level” control systems; indeed, the method of “fooling” the car was based on understanding that the car had a very good system for remaining in a lane using control of optical variables. What I think the problem was from a PCT perspective – the reason the car could be “fooled” into changing lanes into oncoming traffic – is that the car wasn’t controlling the higher level variables that a real driver is controlling when driving a car. I think these “higher level” variables are what are called “situational awareness” in aviation. They are the reason why a real person has to ultimately be in control even in highly automated systems. These are the perceptions – such as the perception of carrying out a program or following some principle – that are presently impossible for machines to have; but when they have them, that will be the game changer, for better or, more likely, worse.Â
