In an autonomous car, there is a decision-making algorithm. It decided when to go, stop, merge, turn, and other physical driver decisions. This algorithm is primarily hypothetical and not theoretical. A human will think of multiple solutions and can think quickly on their feet, whereas a hypothetical algorithm will have to cycle through all the possible decisions to find just the one to deal with in real-life situations. The algorithm is also hackable and doesn’t assure vehicle safety for consumers when hacked (like stopping the vehicle in mid traffic or speed, crashing into other vehicles, hitting pedestrians and so much more)
