I have attended a class
Introduction to AI

and there are two interesting videos from it about self-driving cars:

I have no idea if this are Lobian machines or not (such a term has
not been mentioned in the class, it looks like that engineers
unaware of it). Yet I guess it is a good object to discuss what is
perception, qualia, conscious, etc.
Another question would be if such a car could be considered as an
observer in quantum
I don't know whether it's a Lobian machine or not; I guess that
depends on its program. But I'm pretty sure that being a big
macroscopic thing with lots of degrees of freedom and interaction
with the environment it will "collapse" wave functions.
Yes. From its first person point of view. It is a good idea to put
"collapse" in quotes. But I am not sure it needs to be macroscopic for
"collapsing" the wave. It needs to be macroscopic only for making a de-
collapsing impossible in practice. If information leaked to much in
the environment, we can no more erase it, and get back to the initial
pure state.
But if QM is correct, even a black hole cannot erase information, and
that seems to explain some observable black hole feature.
