And they will be: accidents per mile. Or some variation on that that takes into account severity of the accident. We already revoke driver licenses if there are too many incidents.
Having a car give up 30% of the time when it encounters an edge case, but driving better than 99% of the other humans the other 70% of the time, is still better driving than a single human... the same way a human speaking and reading books at age 7 is still more advanced than the most experienced, cutting-edge dog.
- williamsmj 5y agoA driving test is not based on accidents per mile. If you, by your own admission, cannot handle rain, left turns and construction work, you should not be on the road.
- ironmagma 5y agoYour first sentence is correct, a driving test is a no-op, at least where I got mine in Florida, and then grandfathered into California where they didn't even do a driving test, just a written one. Licenses are revoked if you get in enough accidents within a certain time period, so it's effectively the same. I can handle quite a lot, but I don't handle a lot of things that a self-driving car can like 360 degree vision at all times or lossless memory of millions of past trips. Nor can any other human.
