> The scope of autonomous vehicles should be limited to places where there is clarity of transit and very few variables. This is precisely why Tesla Autopilot has such a good "safety record" - it only works on roads where people don't have accidents anyway. It works extremely well on motorways where everyone is travelling the same direction at the same speed and everything behaves extremely predictably. The moment anything crazy happens it hands off control to the human driver. People compare this "x thousand miles without an accident" behaviour to the sum total of human driving, including twisty country roads and cities, but it's not a fair comparison.
