AI vs YOUR JOB

Atlas · C03 · Body

Mobility & navigation

Moving the body or a vehicle safely through real, changing, unstructured spaces.

AI Reliable score

4 / 10

Average adult level · peak 8.5 · trend ↑ · grade A

Why this score

Driverless cars in mapped cities beat the human crash benchmark (94% fewer serious-injury crashes over 220M miles) - expert level in a geofenced niche. Walking/working robots in unstructured interiors remain limited. Reliable 4 = average across the settings jobs actually happen in.

On the human scale

2Beginner. Moves on flat, known floors
4Average adult. Average adult: stairs, crowds, unfamiliar buildings, normal driving ← AI today
6Competent pro. Professional: ladders, roofs, building sites, commercial driving
8Expert. Expert: climbing, emergency driving, rescue terrain
10Best humans. Elite athletes and pilots

Future warning

At its best, AI already reaches 8.5 on this capability. Peak results are never counted in the index; they show where the water may rise next.

Measures
Crash rates of rider-only autonomous driving vs a human-driver benchmark
AI result
220M+ rider-only miles; 94% fewer serious-injury crashes, 82% fewer injury crashes, 82% fewer airbag crashes.
Humans
Modelled human-driver crash rates in the same cities
On our scale
Better than average human drivers in 4 mapped US cities, surface streets only: expert-level in a niche (Peak 8.5), not general mobility.

AI result
Figure 02 at BMW: ~1,250 h, 90,000+ parts placed within 5 mm. 88% household-task failure rate cited for 2025-26 research. 1X NEO uses remote operators for complex tasks. Batteries 3-5 h; no humanoid works a full untethered shift.
