- mustyoshi 6y agoIs it more or less concerning than when humans do the same? Autonomous driving is still a relatively young beast. I don't have specific numbers infront of me, but I imagine mile for mile, autonomous vehicles are still safer than humans.
- visarga 6y ago> He also launches supposedly self-driving passenger cars into concrete barriers. Planes used to fall a lot in the beginning, computer hardware was once finicky and unreliable, even rockets used to blow up before they got it right. Takes time, and sometimes it takes early adopters trust to get to safety.
- drcongo 6y agoHow many public deaths is an acceptable number? What about those dead who, rather than being "early adopters", just happened to be in the way of one - is there a line in the sand where we say "OK, we've sacrificed enough humans now, let's try something else"?
- peteretep 6y agoI feel like you’re suggesting the answer is “zero deaths”, where it’s clearly _at least_ as many as the current road fatality rate, which is about 100 a day in the US alone.
