So is reducing the accident rate on roads "harming people"?

  Good for the people once the system is perfected. Not so much for the ones who get run while the system is being perfected. The "greater good" utilitarian argument has been the basis of some of the worst policies and politics in the world. I'm not saying that self driving cars fall into the same category, but how many deaths are you okay with until Uber/Waymo perfect their algorithms (and later, charge you for it)? 1? 10? 100?
