>So the argument that self-driving cars will reduce fatalities so substantially that we don't need to worry too much about these edge cases makes a lot of sense to me. Even more so considering this case likely wouldn't form part of the "edge case" pool, since a self-driving car presumably wouldn't be driving at 140 km/hr down a non divided rural road. The speed limit on such roads in good weather is 90 km/hr. Perhaps the limits were higher in the past, but I can't imagine they were ever that high.
