We already have several thousand pedestrian and cyclists every year. 130,000 Cyclists are injured. https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/pedestrians https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/pedes... https://www.cdc.gov/transportationsafety/bicycle/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/transportationsafety/bicycle/index.html We shouldn’t be accepting any deaths, or accidents, and take steps to reduce (eliminate) them. However, people seem to really get worried when we want technology to assist us. About 18 pedestrian and 2-3 cyclists will die today in the US alone. What should we do?

So we should just accept more due to this “beta”?

  No one said that. The humans are careless, often taking their eyes off the road. I see people looking at devices in their hands while driving. People bike near me on curvy roads and people drive fast. Hear about these horrible accidents where cars collide with cyclists. I think humans could use a little more assistance. We haven’t even discussed the 38,000 traffic deaths in the US alone every year. Is this acceptable?
