And as any human driver knows, the roads are full of them. Consider a person emerging from a manhole without any of the cones or cordons typical of a construction zone. As a human driver, you know how to recognize another human in a huge number of configurations. Even if you had never driven by an open manhole you know it’s something to be avoided, as are any humans that might pop out of it. Humans have common sense that AVs, as pattern matchers, don’t have. So, since an AV has never matched the pattern of a human gingerly poking his head out of an unmarked open manhole, it won’t recognize that situation until it’s too late.</p>
