I'd like to see us treat autonomous road safety the way we treat aircraft safety, where even minor incidents are thoroughly investigated and often lead to industry-improving changes. Their approach clearly works because despite the fact that we hurl hundreds of thousands of people through the air every day in millimetre thick metal tubes, it's the safest way to travel.
Leaving autonomous driving to the whims of the empathy-deficient utilitarianist VCs of the world, and barely regulating their work at all, is really not ok.

- salex89 4y agoYeah, but training will cost a multiple thousand dollars and the car would go for a checkup every week.
- shultays 4y agoThat is what I am trying to say. It is not feasible. There are less airplanes or pilots compared to all cars and drivers out there. You can't have the same standard
- cmsj 4y agoIf our goal is truly to work towards Level 5 autonomy, then by definition most accidents couldn't involve human error other than a person hurling themselves in front of such a vehicle.
