Could someone post stats: mileage covered by self driving cars, mileage in bad weather, accidents per mile.... Also is it true it was going over speed limit? H

  Self-driving cars are meant to coexist with humans so they tend to be programmed to drive like humans (slightly above the speed limit).

  There are 12.5 deaths per billion vehicle miles driven. This is the statistic that self-driving cars have to beat in order to be "safer." Based on this, Uber has had about 3 million test miles (under mostly safer than average road conditions, but I'll leave that aside). They're now at 333 deaths per billion miles driven. Gonna have to go a few more days without a death before they're "safer." (This is not all robot cars, of course, but not all robot cars are meaningfully the same right now). http://www.eschatonblog.com/2018/03/the-faith-is-strong.html http://www.eschatonblog.com/2018/03/the-faith-is-strong.html
