There is no evidence that deep learning would give better performance than other collision avoidance algorithms in such a scenario.

But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. I was agreeing with GP (u/amelius) because I had the same idea when reading the post, but the parent of your comment (u/simonsarris) makes a good point: we might not know deep learning as well as we might like to know it, given that it is being used in applications that have the potential to kill, but we also don't know our own brains that well.

Even if we don't understand deep learning to the degree that we would like, we can observe its safety record and compare it to humans'.
