I admit I stopped reading halfway through, but managed to scroll to the last paragraph.
This article is a dance through many important topics in a AV. Yet, it fails to actually answer the "Why collision avoidance is harder fo an AI-based system" question, really. Some arguments argue that systems with a smaller scope are easier, systems with a larger scope are more difficult, it brings on arguments about determinism in decision making. It brings on sensor sets, neither is really about AI or hand-crafted rules, but about problems inherent to robotics as a whole. Again, it is a fine example why the therm AI is useless and harmful for discussions, as it blurs what is talked about considerably.
