Comment on Waymo recalls software after two self-driving cars hit the same truckparent

Comments

Yes, but when the bug was fixed, it was fixed everywhere.

That phrasing makes it easy to underestimate the astronomical dimensions of edgecase-space, and what necessarily remains unexplored after such a fix.

how do we know for sure that it was fixed ? What are the conditions that are fixed ?

Since the comment thread is comparing humans, how do you know the human has fixed their bug?

Humans don't have bugs. they may have disease, or mental troubles, but we're pretty good at assessing them. Thanks in part to their ability to communicate.

I'd argue that humans don't have bugs but their mental models of things do, mostly as a consequence of the fact a model's complexity increases with it's accuracy.
