Possible, but speculative. > Also, estimating how safe sekf-driving car is you should take into account all the cases where human took over. Sure, but on the other hand, the SDC's are continually improving as a group in a way that is not true for humans. This makes it harder to extrapolate into the future one way or the other. > Also there are many accidents in weather conditions where self driving car would not be able to drive at all. If you mean environments where humans also can't drive worth a damn, yes, probably true, although SDC's may yet prove better, since that's a technical problem rather than a social understanding one. But 90%+ of accidents involve human error, so even if you can't completely eliminate deaths, you can still radically reduce them.
