- analog31 6y agoI admit that when I read something like this, I'm always thinking about whether "framing" is in play. Sure, 100 million miles is a lot, but at 10k miles/y and 50 y/lifetime, that's 200 lifetimes. Is something that will kill you in 200 lifetimes considered to be "remarkably" safe? Granted, I'm certainly not downplaying your conclusion about the challenge of designing a self driving car.
