Serious question: will we demand perfection from autonomous cars before we allow them out of “test” status? I don't think anyone is demanding perfection, but they are quite reasonably demanding that autonomous driving doesn't cause any accidents that wouldn't have happened if a human was driving (not that this is clear from the accident in the article). The bar issimply 'better than a person'. If a car apparently changes lane and drives into another car without the cause being clear it's not there yet.

> quite reasonably demanding that autonomous driving doesn't cause any accidents that wouldn't have happened if a human was driving That's totally unreasonable. If a self-driving car prevents 10,000 accidents that human drivers would have caused, but causes 20 accidents that human drivers would have prevented, we should accept it without demanding further safety improvements first. > The bar issimply 'better than a person'. This, on the other hand, is totally reasonable.
