> An unfortunate fact of life, hopefully made irrelevant by the comeuppance of autonomous transportation technology (including but not limited to automobiles) that makes motor vehicle accidents a thing of the past. Until we get there, though, someone has to keep trying.
Autonomous transportation already exists, it already works, and it's _already safe_! It just isn't deployed for private automobiles, it's deployed on rail-based transit systems. The technology is widely deployed across Europe and Asia. How many more people need to die to let Americans have a more comfortable ride in their private vehicles?
