Driverless Cars Dilemma, Auto-Reflex Or Use AI Savvy, Which Is Better
Dr. Lance Eliot, AI Insider
For self-driving driverless autonomous cars, a tough choice needs to be made, all the time, while in-motion, regarding whether to use an auto-reflex to make immediate decisions when needed, or “wait” for the more robust AI savvy components to render an indication of what to do.
You can liken the auto-reflex to the human autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system of humans is sometimes also referred to as the vegetative nervous system, or the visceral nervous system, or even the sympathetic nervous system. We all know that whatever you call it, the purpose seems to be as a regulatory function of the human body and one that generally occurs automatically. In that sense, it happens seemingly unconsciously.
Your brain doesn’t apparently need to do much toward making sure that your heart is pumping blood. Cardiac regulation is mainly the role of the autonomic nervous system. Respiratory functioning is also usually being handled by the autonomic nervous system. Overall, the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is often considered the true core of our fight-or-flight response mechanism. It offers the handling of our key physiological responses.
