No one in the public has enough data to say this conclusively.
>And if you eliminate Tesla from the category, since they aren't using LIDAR, you can also point out that a self-driving car has never killed a passenger.
Not killing pedestrians is just as, if not more important than not killing passengers. After all a pedestrian has no choice in interacting with the self-driving car. The passenger at least made an active choice to put their life in the hands of the technology.
- jedberg 7y ago> Not killing pedestrians is just as, if not more important than not killing passengers. I agree, but my point was that risk of death in the vehicle should not even be a concern for anyone, yet many will say (including other in this very thread) "I would never get inside one of these things".
- jakear 7y agoI might say “I would never get inside one of these things” out of concern for pedestrians as well as myself.
