No, it needs to be a lower rate since it will kill at random. Today’s rate includes drunk drivers, people on their phone and other “unsafe” drivers. If you are an attentive driver your chance of death would actually go up if the overall death rate was the same.

- thebruce87m 7y agoI’m maybe missing your point, but this is reflected in the overall death rate now. Similarly in the future the overall death rate will include deaths of the occupants of self-driving cars and also the cars/people that they hit. The perception will be different however, since in the public eye the drunk driver “had it coming” and the only real loss is the other driver/passengers/pedestrians. If a self-driving car kills its own occupants and the occupants of another car then there are more “innocents” than in the drunk-drive scenario.
