Are there stats that even show that any self driving system is safer than the median driver?
Basically accidents involve two people. Said accidents have responsibility divided between both individuals.
A hypothetically perfect driver could still be involved in fatal accidents by virtue of the other driver.
The worse drivers obviously will cause these accidents.
The questions are three fold:
1. Are self driving vehicles safer than the median driver?
2. What’s the ratio between at fault and not at fault for any accidents the median driver gets in?
3. What’s the same ratio for self driving cars?
Normalizes for location, of course.
- M2Ys4U 5y ago>Basically accidents involve two people. Not always, no. It's perfectly possible to crash a car with nobody else around.

- spywaregorilla 5y agoThe median driver is a difficult thing to study. 77% of people have experienced an accident, but I think fewer than 50% of people have been at fault for one. That's not to say they wouldn't be at fault if they drove more, but the median has a clean record. Hard to know who to exclude.
