- taylodl 9y agoThe fallacy is thinking these vehicles need to be flawless prior to their being widely deployed. They only need to be better than people. Sadly, human drivers kill pedestrians too. We have 100 years of actuarial data to inform us when these vehicles are performing better than their human counterparts. At that point it becomes a saving lives argument, even if there are still lives being lost. It's all about minimizing the loss of life and tragedies.
