I could not disagree more. The input to an AV’s sensors, not just the data but what it represents and must be determined, is infinite. If your solution is to stop the car, you must also determine if that’s safe to do. It’s extraordinarily complex. This isn’t a factory.

I strongly disagree. It is a large set but not infinite, otherwise humans would not be able to drive. It is constrained by physical laws.

Also, control systems have been used to control much more complex entities than just factories.

I agree it is an extraordinarily complex problem. But I also believe progress can be made to a point where it can be feasibly solved.
