Just playing the devil's advocate but : when you take a taxi, what do you know about the driver? You can vaguely see if he's sober and that's all. You EXPECT him to have a driver's license, to have a good eyesight, etc but you KNOW nothing about it. If he has an heart attack while he's driving on the highway, could it have been predicted (by you or the company)? No.

So i don't see why this distinction between AI and humans is made : both are black boxes. Perhaps humans have less "edge cases" but as long as the error level of AI is the same or lower than the one of humans, I don't care if the car crashed because the human driver looked at a sexy woman on an ad on a billboard or because a variable was poorly set in the car's code.
