The problem with this analogy is that it's based on the assumption that we are not currently cracking any eggs. We are. Hundreds of thousands every year. Introducing AVs right now wouldn't increase that number at worst; realistically it would likely decrease it. Your family of eggs is at a far greater risk because we are holding back. That's how atrocious humans are at driving (and making decision to get behind the wheel drunk) - we evolved to roam and climb trees at less than 10mph, so you can't blame us. Stop overestimating our ability, though.
