> I care if it’s better than the driver checking their phone, blowing through stop signs, etc. As a cyclist, I reckon that it’s the most selfish 10% of drivers that represent 90% of the risk We have a(n imperfect) mechanism to catch and penalise those drivers. An ex-colleague of mine was incapable of sticking to the speed limit (she drove me round Paris once, that was an exciting ride...). Eventually she collected enough speeding tickets [in the UK] that she was within one ticket of losing her driving licence completely. At that point, she [finally!] slowed down. Q: What's our proposed mechanism for detecting errors made by AI "drivers" and enforcing improvement?

> What's our proposed mechanism for detecting errors made by AI "drivers" and enforcing improvement? Lawsuits by the families of the fallen? Have be a big lawsuits though — an 80 year old taken out by a robocar is just “the cost of doing business” so there would have to be multiple school busses on fire to make a dent.

  > Lawsuits by the families of the fallen? Umm, maybe. Except we all know that that's a truly terrible way to persuade corporations (with deep pockets, lots of lawyers, and even more lobbyists) to do the right thing, isn't it?
