Default Will AI replace in-car instructors?

Interesting video from Driver61 on the development of artificial intelligence for the cockpit, even accommodates driving style. https://youtu.be/vcvipxOCa8c?si=xwxxvBOwSq8I7GWJ

It will never replace having Dirk in the car with you.

AI doesn't think so:

Quote:
While AI has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of driving instruction, it's unlikely to completely replace in-car high-performance driving instructors in the near future. Here's why:

Advantages of AI Driving Instructors:

Consistency: AI can provide consistent feedback and training, ensuring that every student receives the same high-quality instruction.
Data-Driven Insights: AI can analyze vast amounts of data to identify areas where students need improvement, leading to more personalized and effective training.
Accessibility: AI-powered driving simulators can make high-performance driving training more accessible to a wider range of people, regardless of their location or financial resources.
Safety: AI can simulate dangerous driving scenarios in a safe environment, allowing students to learn from their mistakes without risking real-world consequences.
Limitations of AI Driving Instructors:

Lack of Human Nuance: AI may struggle to replicate the nuanced feedback and emotional intelligence of a human instructor, which can be crucial for building trust and motivation.
Complex Decision-Making: High-performance driving often involves complex decision-making in real-time, which may be challenging for AI to fully replicate.
Physical Presence: The physical presence of an instructor can be reassuring and motivating, especially for beginners.
Technological Limitations: AI technology is still evolving, and there may be limitations in terms of processing power, sensor accuracy, and real-time response capabilities.
The Future of Driving Instruction:

It's more likely that AI will be used to augment the capabilities of human instructors, rather than replacing them entirely. AI can provide valuable data and insights, while human instructors can offer personalized guidance and support.

In conclusion, while AI has the potential to significantly improve driving instruction, it's unlikely to fully replace in-car high-performance driving instructors. A combination of human expertise and AI technology is likely to be the most effective approach for training future generations of drivers.

AI can’t possibly improve on Dirk’s feet flailing around looking for the non existent right side brake pedal while expressing a proper “ Bloody hell!” as his student hits the Chute “flat out”.

It's been many years since I awarded the prestigious "Post of the Day" award, but Kurt's post is so good he gets the "Post of the Day" award both for yesterday, when he posted it, and today when I read it! Congratulations, Kurt, for making me laugh out loud.

Is there an extension for ChatGPT that can generate terrified screams at appropriate moments?

With some of my past students, you could just play a continuous tape loops of back-to-back screams...
