Machine learning models for AVs are uploaded to whole fleet of vehicles, potentially causing thousands of identical accidents.
No two humans have identical brains, so every human-caused accident is unique.

- dbbk 7y agoI see your point, although I would argue that you could say the same thing about human factors like intoxication. Say there's a big drinking holiday, human-driven deaths go up due to people drink driving. Self-driving cars are immune to that factor.
