> autonomous cars essentially need AGI in order to play to a degree that is safer than a human with other humans.

This is really an astonishingly large claim without any evidence.

I question if you understand what AGI actually is? It's not "AI that can solve game theory" or "AI that can play cooperative games" - conventional video game AI's do this all the time in a myriad of permutations.

For others agreeing autonomous driving needs "AGI", first read what it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligenc...

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is the ability of an intelligent agent to understand or learn *any intellectual task that a human being can*.

It's a very difficult engineering problem but we don't need AGI to solve it.
