In 5 years I never had an accident, crash or any semi-dangerous or dangerous situtation during hard rains, snows, snowstorms. I'm not ok with 99.99%

- maxerickson 11y agoThe comparison to make is not with yourself, it's with the worst drivers that are already legally allowed to drive. Getting them replaced with a superior autonomous system makes you safer regardless of how your skill level compares to the system. (The only crash I've been in involved someone else losing control of their vehicle and crossing the center line on a major highway, which probably informs this perspective a little bit)
- serge2k 11y agoExcept the system will also replace safe drivers. So overall the safety level may be decreased.
- maxerickson 11y agoI think you are right about that being a possibility, but my personal judgment is that a lot of bad driving is rooted in poor decision making and concentrated, so I don't think an overall decrease in safety is a likely outcome.
- JoeAltmaier 11y ago5 years is < 2000 days. 99.99 is one accident in 10,000 days. Post again in 20 years, and if still no accidents then that makes sense.
- ghaff 11y ago% isn't really a meaningful way to express an accident rate. You probably want to use some measure like accident rate per vehicle mile. I don't know the accident rate but the fatality rate in the US is about 1 death per 100 million miles.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoOn a similar note: We have our highway fatality posted every day on those over-the-freeway signs that I read each morning. It averages almost exactly one per day, statewide. But this year, here we are non day 11 and only 3 fatalities so far! I'm hopeful we can keep this rate through the spring.
