I wrote the article. Your comment is not responding to what I wrote. My point in the post is not "AVs are NOT better for the human kind". My point is neither "AVs are a slippery slope" nor "AVs won't make traffic safer". My point is that the acceptance of occasional casualties caused by AVs is a slippery slope, which many people intuitively understand (whether they can express it or not), and which in part might explain the discrepancy in the public reaction to an AV killing someone and John or Jane Doe driving killing someone.
