The fact that you've edited your comment to reference number of vehicles sold and miles traveled shows that you don't need any help coming up with an alternative comparison that is more reasonable. You already know that the numbers you initially cited need to be divided by their share of miles driven.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoThe fact that I've edited my comment reflects that I want it to be historically accurate after the edit window times out. Hacker News participants aren't going to have any impact on regulators, so while I try to persuade that this automation development is necessary (because I genuinely believe that, and have lost loved ones [plural] to vehicular accidents), it's moot beyond discussion (and there are so many discussions [1]). Some will argue that any deaths are too much, other will argue that many deaths are reasonable. I argue that some deaths will occur, which will lead to less deaths overall over the long term (which I would also argue is a goal we could all agree on), and I don't believe this is an unreasonable position to hold.
