It would depend on the details.
If black kids are dying because the car accelerates in school zones and swerves directly into black kids at high speeds, you can imagine that would obviously be not okay no matter what the statistics are.
My point is that a single metric like “deaths overall” is insufficient. The failure modes need to be reasonable and sympathetic to a human.
- sokoloff 4y agoThe premise of GP may have been slightly different. If a safety improvement reduces child pedestrian deaths by 100% in groups A, B, C, and D and by 50% in group E, that safety improvement should be welcomed, even though all child pedestrian deaths are now in group E (even though that group is also better off).
