Uber has had a fatal accident with only a few million miles driven when an average human will go more like a hundred million miles per fatality.
I don't understand why people insist on believing that they are already more safe than human drivers when the evidence suggests that they are currently much, much less safe.
- jimbofisher1 8y agoI'm sorry where did I imply they were already safer? I think it's obvious they will continue to improve and surpassing human level is not far away.
- TheCoelacanth 8y agoNonsense. Uber's self-driving cars currently have something like 30x the fatality rate of an average driver and that is in cherry-picked locations that they chose for testing and with a human driver constantly watching it to take over when it does something wrong. There is no evidence that they are anywhere close to surpassing human drivers.
