- CaptSpify 11y agoOh, I absolutely think we will get past this line of thinking. Automated driving is the future. I just don't think it will be a smooth transition.
- Johnny555 11y agoAnd elevators sometimes kill people, yet few people are afraid of them. Admittedly, deaths are very rare, especially per-trip, 27 per year or 0.00000015% per trip -- self driving cars should be able to get into that level of safety, current automotive fatality rates are around 1 in 100M (or .000001%/mile) http://articles.latimes.com/2011/dec/15/news/la-heb-elevator-safety-death-201112115 http://articles.latimes.com/2011/dec/15/news/la-heb-elevator...
