> ABSURDLY dangerous driving is already It's very dangerous in some places in the world. Majority of deaths are happening in places with poor infrastructure[1], that autonomous vehicles are very far away from being able to handle. For current state of AV, bar it has to meet and exceed are places with good infrastructure, fairly new cars and reasonably good driving culture, as those are first targets of rollout. For example, in Phoenix, AZ, about 250 people die per year from accidents[2], with about 9k miles driven per person[3] and metropolitan area having 4.7m people, to just match human levels AVs to have less than 1 fatality per 170 million miles driven.
