To compare the 22Motors Flow’s AI system to human intuition in real world riding condition.

Question

The 22Motors Flow eScooter features an AI enabled system that promises to make the riding experience better and safer. According to the company, this AI is able to learn from the rider's behavior, adapt to different road conditions and even predict potential hazards. But seasoned riders tend to trust their instincts and experience when on the road, and dealing with traffic or unexpected situations. This is a great debate about whether AI is better than human intuition stemming from years of riding in the real world. Is it possible for an AI system to replicate or even trump the split second decisions of an experienced rider? Does the AI have any circumstances where it could hurt more than help? Let’s see the pros and cons of leaving it to artificial intelligence versus relying on your gut when you are riding in unpredictable Indian traffic.

@vibhu-goel · Accepted Answer

Until the AI can decipher Indian traffic communication that's made up of subtle head nods and hand gestures, I'm going to trust my instincts!

@monalisa-p · Answer

I believe we are viewing this in the wrong way. The AI isn’t intended to replace human intuition, but it’s designed to improve on it. It's about getting a symbiosis between rider and machine.

@saket-jha · Answer

It may be good AI, but it doesn’t know Indian roads and the 'jugaad' solutions we tend to need on them. At other times you just have to squeeze through that impossible gap!

@kuldeep-te · Answer

I've ridden traditional and AI scooters, and I think the Flow's system does make it better. It’s most useful for new riders who are still developing their road sense.

@saket-jha · Answer

I'm not sure I want to put too much faith in AI. So what happens if the system glitches or fails? It’s not bad to use technology to help teach kids riding skills, but we shouldn’t become dependent on tech for basic skills.

@angad-kuma · Answer

Most accidents are caused by human error. Let’s be real. Isn't that a win if the AI can reduce that, even by a small percentage?

@kapil-devs · Answer

The real value of the AI is not to replace human intuition, but to complement it. Having an extra set of eyes on the road is always nice.

@divya-sinh · Answer

The Flow’s AI is impressive in predicting traffic patterns, which I’ve tried. It is still confused, however, at times in chaotic traffic, where human intuition is still the victor.

@kalika-dub · Answer

I am a tech enthusiast and I think the AI has potential. Maybe it’s not perfect right now, but give it time. It is faster than humans at processing information and could in fact save lives in emergency situations.

@abhay-sing · Answer

I’ve ridden for years, and I can tell you no AI can replace the instinct you build up on Indian roads. The system is cool on the Flow's system, but it can't tell you a cow just appeared out of nowhere!
