Even After $100 Billion, Self-Driving Cars Are Going Nowhere

I wonder if anyone has considered the possibility that we can drive as well as we can, partly through psi effects. You look at someone and sense what they are going to do next. It might be worth testing if people can do so well on driving simulators.

An interesting suggestion. I am skeptical mainly because many decades of research in parapsychology has apparently established the reality of psi effects but at the cost of a very low level of effectiveness, requiring endless numbers of trials to statistically demonstrate marginal levels of the anomalous effects like telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition and psychokinesis. Why should automobile driving conditions in everyday life bring forth esp and psi effects orders of magnitude greater than this, just because of the circumstances? Of course, we know too little of the etiology of esp and psi to rule out intentionality and purpose and survival on the road as possible factors in the magnitude of the effects. Lab experiments don't have the immediacy and survival priority of driving in traffic.
