You're also assuming fatalities which are not common. You're also assuming that the software company will be able to be found liable after both a waiver and a proven history of safety testing. Currently we have about 15 fatalities per 100k drivers. 40% of those are alcohol related so I'm going to count those as saves right away. Many of the rest are weather/sleeping/texting/etc that are easily savable. Even if we pretend those will all still happen, the goal is a 10x safety increase which would mean .9 per 100k. Even at your outlandish 10M number that would not kill the company, but the reality is closer to 1/10 that amount and even less if the legal hurdles are properly-managed.
