> Autonomous driving systems become an ethical imperative if the systems cause fewer accidents than human drivers. This makes a certain kind of sense if viewed totally in a vacuum, apart from any other considerations. But life is not all about the car. Is human choice unimportant? What about freedom to travel where I want and when I want? Is curtailment of those and other freedoms to be sacrificed based on statistics? Whose statistics? How will these statistics be gathered? Who will interpret them? Through what lens? This sounds like the kind of reasoning that made it illegal in many jurisdictions to let your kids play outside on their own.
