So we shouldn't make self-driving cars?

  Yes, we shouldn't make self-driving cars.

    Instead let countless drivers kill pedestrians if such cars turn out to be safer to everyone around? The ethics of this escapes me. It is not a nuclear warhead or a biological weapon. We can decide utility of self driving cars either pre- or post-factum, but not given no data.

      Cars have very limited utility that can't be better solved with mass transit. Individual vehicles are grossly inefficient for basically every scenario except rural transport. Replacing those uses would nearly eliminate auto accidents and have a ton of other benefits as well.
