The average driver in a crash is worse than the average driver. Why would we compare FSD with reckless drunks, etc.
- JoshTriplett 5y agoI'm expecting that we should compare self-driving vehicles to the average driver, not "the average driver in a crash".
- rightbyte 5y agoYe. Also, I should have written "the average driver in a crash is worse than the median driver". "* In 2016, 10,497 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for 28% of all traffic-related deaths in the United States. * Drugs other than alcohol (legal and illegal) are involved in about 16% of motor vehicle crashes." https://www.cdc.gov/transportationsafety/impaired_driving/impaired-drv_factsheet.html https://www.cdc.gov/transportationsafety/impaired_driving/im... If we include recklessness, FSD maybe need better than half the fatality rate of human drivers, to be on par with the median driver.
